speak/communicate in English fluently is generally wealthier than most people from their country.

This gets really obvious when talking to Venezuelans being reactionary. They'll write English like a native speaker, then when you ask them what their family does, they'll tell you they own their own company. And it's like "Oh. So you hate socialism because the communists took away your rental properties."

The Venezuela stuff was making its rounds back in 2016ish when the US failed to do a coup. So a bunch of reactionaries who fled the country after failing were all over online lamenting about it.
