Esperanto speakers: first against the wall in any purge

Wasaburo Ooishi, Japanese scientist, discovered jet streams before anyone else. Nobody read his work because he only published in Esperanto. That's not a failure of the science. That's a failure of linguistic gatekeeping. And it's been weaponized long enough that targeting Esperanto speakers during political purges is basically a checklist item.

There's a Japanese scientist who discovered jet streams much earlier before anyone else did, his name was Wasaburo Ooishi. No one read his work, because he *only* published in Esperanto.
