i fucking hate when some entrepreneurs who left Ukraine come by and obviously can speak Ukrainian but still insist on speaking English-only even though there is no real reason for it. And even when you just start talking Ukrainian they will still speak English for some reason and never switch and pretend nothing is wrong. Now that’s an inferiority complex.
As a person from a Ukrainian immigrant family who’s mom is the last to speak the language, that is just painfully sad. The language is such an important part of the culture and to deny it’s existence even to yourself is just sad
it is what it is. these guys think they are better than those in Ukraine by virtue of moving out to another country and doing business there even though most Ukrainian entrepreneurs in the field probably end up making more money than them anyway. But then magically - when it comes to do their dream project - some tinder for deep thinkers or whatever the fuck with AI - they turn to their motherland for some cheap labour and act like they’re the master race even though they’re just cheapskate poseurs who are ashamed of their own national identity.
