Summary

Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede renewed calls for independence from Denmark in his New Year speech, citing the need to overcome colonial legacies and reshape Greenland’s future.

Egede highlighted dissatisfaction with historical Danish policies, including forced birth control in the 20th century, and noted Greenland’s self-governance since 2009 allows for an independence vote.

While most of Greenland’s 57,000 residents support independence, debates persist over its economic impact due to reliance on Danish aid and fishing.

Greenland’s government rejected U.S. offers to purchase the island, asserting it is “not for sale.”

    It would be against the laws of physics NOT to talk down to them.

    Situations like the one in Greenland are a microcosm of a larger human trend towards self-destruction. Almost every problem that humanity faces is trivially solvable. We could literally solve them tomorrow. But we won’t. Because people are stupid. Our species is just doomed, and now I have to sit here and be nice to these humans while they kill us all.

          I guess you were thinking you’d make a couple shitty superiority complex posts on a forum and then delete them later in, we hope, a brief moment of self reflection.

            Not at all. Our species is beyond fucked. There’s nothing to be superior about. Maybe you’re someone with an unjustifiable faith in the ultimate goodness of our subhumanity.

            Regardless, just do your best to enjoy what will probably be our last century on this planet.
