    I love not understanding colonial relationships

    Denmark didn’t allow Iceland and Greenland to develop their economy for 250 years. All exports were forced to go straight to Denmark, no trading with anyone else. No imports from anyone else. The low population and lack of wealth in indigenous communities (indigeneity comes from being the victim of the relationship) comes from being a COLONY

    It doesn’t matter who was there first, it literally benefits everyone in Greenland to have independence on their own terms, and reparations to fix their underdevelopment

    romans were promised to eat my ass 2000 years ago

      obviously Greenland is even worse of a colonial relationship than Iceland because there was also a cultural genocide of the Inuit people, but I’m sure we all know that
