Senfina plendaĉ

That's Esperanto for "endless whining."

Now competing with the Vegans of Color for the silliest forms of utopian whining ("Though many of us resist observing the fourth day of every July as the United States’ Independence Day,  most of us did enjoy an extended weekend and a little extra time to eat well these last few days."), I ran across a YouTube video of the Prague Manifesto, where an Esperanto speaker rails against the anti-democratic, oppressive and unjust language order which results from some natural languages achieving dominance in the world. The solution, not surprisingly, is for everyone to speak Esperanto as their second language so that in international affairs, business, etc. we would all be on a level playing field, plata kampo de lud.

Unjust vegetable order. Unjust language order. Will the injustice never end??!!

Senfina plendaĉ.
The whiner may have failed to notice that Esperanto is a European-based language both in grammar and vocabulary, using the Latin alphabet, and consquently creates --gasp!-- privilege for the very White speakers....Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
