Only fascists talk like that at their conferences. And then it doesn't sound much better in other languages.

There are a hell of a lot of good examples of how terrible our language is, but that's nonsense.

It's a tired joke missing any context or finesse but has some truth to it like most of these kind of stereotypes.

Oh for sure. Any language sounds intense asf when you're yelling it. Didn't mean to hit some nerves by linking a decade old video... I believe the creators meant no harm and I didn't either :[

If someone who didn't speak English overheard me greeting my cousins, they'd probably think I was trying to start a fight :P
