That is the purpose of “Cultural Imperialism” and the main goal of US propaganda and media released internationally. It is an exact copy of the British colonial tactic that divided Africa, South America, and the Indian subcontinent.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, I was just pointing out that the exportation and standardization of English is a purposeful imperial tactic used by the West.

I think only Brasil speaks Portuguese instead, but don’t take my word for it.
Idk what language could be a replacement universal for English in Asia
Aside from Brazil, there’s a few little regions which officially use languages other than Spanish, like the bit of South America that’s still France.
The world desperately needs an international 2nd language like esperanto, but more impartial and less european language focused, and more simplified.
I think it would also require communications infrastructure, and/or significant investment from multiple AES media outlets. While Esperanto was designed in and for Europe, I think the simplicity/regularity is enough that it is “”“popular”“” in East Asia and considered much easier than a natural European language. On the other hand Esperantists tend to be Euro fetishizing rad libs for the most part, as far as I can tell. I also wonder if it would be possible for an auxlang to find wider adoption if its practicioners were less idealist and a bit more realpolitik.
