That's your right. But when I look at the things I own, I see the suffering it caused to other humans beings. My shirt was probably made in a sweatshop, my smartphone has Congolese children blood in it, my car is destroying our environment … and I see no actual alternatives to these. I just try to change these things as little as possible.
Putting a hive in a city is a bad idea. Domestic bees, which are more resistant because they are fed by humans, eat the food of wild bees, and accelerate their disappearance.
Case in point: we have this conversation in one of those, and it's neither your, nor my native tongue.
And I'm pretty sure you have a college diploma. English as an international language works, but not for everybody, while Esperanto could, and when it works it reinforces the Empire, while Esperanto wouldn't.
It's true that the problem is that it's a diaspora. But that doesn't change the fact that it's quite easy to find Esperanto speakers, and thanks to internet the Esperanto community is actually international. To be an active member of this community builds a better understanding of other points of view, it “internationalizes” your self. As a socialist I think that this is important.
English do that too, but not with the same deepness (I know, English is my second language).
Considering that you're 20 years old, if you speak to a new Esperantist every hour, night and day, thus to 24 new Esperantist every day, you'll be 248 years old when you'll have spoken to every Esperantist.
