A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

As an American, the fact that 25% are for it or indifferent is a shameful number...
We don’t have the right to judge we unleashed this evil pedofile on this planet
Most people : don’t do it
Government leaders: don’t do it
Business: don’t do it
Academics: don’t do it
All other countries and states in the world: don’t do it
Trump: I’m gonna do it.
It's not only trump, that's the sad thing. Trump is just a puppet, controlled by people behind the curtains. Look at this project 2025. There are plenty of powerful people who are pulling the strings of Trump and the next Republican candidate.
Long gone are the days when politicians were actually working for their voters. Now it is all about social media propaganda. And guess what, making education unaffordable works wonders for those people. They don't want rational human beings, they just want easy to control and manipulate sheep.
"And just like that, everything changed. At that terrible moment, in our hearts, we knew. Home was a pen. Humanity, cattle."
And the other 25% are straight up Nazis.
It says "...Of Americans", so the optimist in me says "25% of people didn't know about or answer the poll."
Don't atribute malice where stupidity fits. It's quite probable that a sizable chunk of those 25% didn't even understood the question.
Can the Lt ever find Greenland on a ma? Are people still falling for Lief Ericsson’s lies?
So. No one will talk about the 48% of Americans that are okay with abducting the President in charge of a sovereign country so rich Americans could snatch them away their oil?
Yes, foreigners, if you go to the USA, apparently that's a hot topic.
Be honest if aliens from space showed up and just abducted Trump and put him into space prison, how angry would you be about that?
Will they oppose it though? Or just sit on their arses and do nothing?
no, through decades of propaganda they have been conditions either to think nothing will happen or something will "EVENTUALly" put a stop to it. thats why the protests if you call it that are largely ineffective, only a small portion of people are doing it.
No, they want to be thanked for their service and be good bootlickers
As we've been seeing, mostly the latter.
He's already ripped apart the 1^st^, 2^nd^ and 4^th^ amendments at least and no one seems to care, not even the military, who are supposed to defend it.
Too bad most of them elected a dictator.
Not really a facts based dig, it's not as if America has highly democratic elections or a system that actually wants people to vote
If only ONE of those 75% was Trump.
It's worth looking at the framing of this. CNN asked, "Would you (favor) or (oppose) the U.S. attempting to take control of Greenland?" A poll from 4 days early found, when specifically asked about taking over Greenland by force, found it was a ~~86% support, 9% oppose.~~ [86% oppose, 9% support] (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/86-percent-in-new-poll-against-us-taking-greenland-by-force/ar-AA1Udv9k). (I was very tired when I wrote this. Most Americans are very, very tired right now.)
Trump has made several bids to buy Greenland, and I think most of the support in this poll is for that option. I think the majority of Americans really don't believe he'll send the military to Greenland and destroy the NATO alliance. They think this is a negotiating tactic, and they are seriously mistaken.
86% opposed
Thanks for the other poll. :) But in your link, you have confused "oppose" and "support". :)
OMG, yes, thank you, that was a pretty big typo.
They should do a poll how many wanna never see Trump's ugly face again?
I wouldn't mind seeing it again but it depends on the circumstance. And the amount of circumstances depends on the "creativity" of others.
I don’t even need violence done to him.
Take away all his money and power and make him walk around the country selling rotten eggs or tomatoes you get to throw at him. And that’s how he has to pay for his life from now on.
Like Trump will listen, you all gonna get deported for that.
I have the funny feeling that Zionists like Stephen Miller and Randy Fine are pushing for the occupation of Greenland because it appeals to Groypers and is a way of ingratiating the Zionists with America First.
