    Greenland is the suicide capital of the world.

    I’m pretty sure a lot of people are instinctively against US acquisition because they’ve been trained to think colonialism is always bad and what Trump does is always wrong.

      Looking at history, colonialism has always been bad for the indigenous people.

      Similary looking at history, what Trump does has always been wrong.

      Also fuck you, if you think you know better whats good for Greenland than people who live in there.

      There isn’t a single colonial project that was/is benevolent. So yes, colonialism is always bad. Also fuck off with the “acquisition” euphemism. What the USA is proposing is simply stealing somebody else’s land.

      You wanna pump those numbers up by subjecting them to US health care?

      Are you actually arguing that the US should take Greenland? What in the actual fuck?

      Trump may not always be wrong but it’s certainly in the high majority of things he does. Currently I can’t think of anything he has done that is actually positive.
