If you are going for a beer at the pub no one really wants to hear about power politics in Foucault.

Or you just haven't found the right pub for that.

Let me not get too political on this topic!

I have only a vague comprehension about apartheid so get political if you want, I'd like to know more. And when it's about language, it's not even off topic, which is also okay. :)

That must be very lonesome for no one to understand you, but also very humbling to speak such an old language?

I haven't really thought about it that way and I'm not sure if the majority of Finns know how old Finnish language is compared to other languages. And the Finnish mentality, at least the stereotype of it, is that we're fine on our own and let us just be in our dark caves isn't the kind that would suffer loneliness that much. Besides, I tend to mention the weirdness of Finnish language pretty often in my comments or posts so I guess I'm proud of it. Yeah, that's it, I'm proud. Good thing that you made me think about what I think about my mother tongue.
