literal censorship by an oppressive authoritarian regime. at this point we have to ask why Ghot wouldn't be for it.
now let's imagine for a second what Ghot would say if they banned english from being on restaurant signs.
what if the government instead forced something not so reactionary like forcing you to use preferred pronouns. controlling language isn't acceptable as it changes how you think, there's a reason the first amendment is important.

This is about signs. I was in Chinatown in SF 25 years ago... still working construction. Had to find an apt. complex address in Chinatown.
The street signs were in Chinese... ONLY.
Here I am, in the country I was born and raised in... and I can't read the street signs. Fuck that shyt!

ordered halal restaurants and food stalls
these are private businesses using their preferred language, not government signs for streets
