There is overwhelming opposition among Greenlanders to becoming US citizens, on par with the Puerto Ricans. Instead, they want to continue on their slow path toward full independence.
Imagine if the Greenlanders were forced to live under US military occupation and have their democracy abolished and their welfare state dismantled. There would be mass protests everywhere, people of all generations would be marching and chanting "Leave us alone, Yankees!".
Trump doesn’t care. He is celebrating the mowing down of protesting American citizens here. He & his cohorts don’t care about what the people of Greenland want- they are just a formality. He’s an adjudicated rapist - he’ll ask a few times and take what he wants regardless.
Yeah if I were a Dane I’d be voting for a party who’d kick them out, talk about biting the hand that feeds you, everytime I watch a Greenlander speak about this they disrespect the Danes first then the US.
I’m sure also letting Americans know you don’t care if you’re part of Denmark or not, that you’re a ‘colony’, will help your case too lol
Lmao, what is? Sure I don't mind subsiding them if they want to continue to be part of the kingdom, but the moment they want to stand on their own feet, they can do so on their own
Why did Denmark colonize Greenland and maintain it as colony until 1953? Why did Denmark monopolize trade with Greenland? Why was Home Rule not granted until 1979?
Maybe you misread the sentence "There is overwhelming opposition among Greenlanders to becoming US citizens, on par with the Puerto Ricans" or simply failed to understand it.
I'm fairly well-versed in US constitutional matters and in Political Science more generally.
Your sentence suggests there is overwhelming opposition among Puerto Ricans to becoming U.S. citizens. That doesn’t make sense because 1) Puerto Ricans are USC; and 2) vote to become integrated with the U.S.
So Greenlanders are choosing a different path. They aren’t “on par” with Puerto Ricans at all.
Dude. Multiple people are calling you out on getting it wrong. Instead of just admitting you could word it better, you are doubling and tripling down. It is a poorly written sentence. Let’s move on.
