It would actually be the other way around, hence why Greenland will fight tooth and nails to not become part of the US.

Yeah, hey, on that note, maybe Denmark would like to acquire the United States.
The funniest thing about this is that if they did actually propose it, Trump would be absolutely stupid not to support it; it would basically ensure GOP domination in every major election for the foreseeable future if we lost California's blue votes.
What I'm saying here is, don't stop at California, include all the other blue states, too, please. Take us with you. :(
Well...
California contributes more than 10% of the USA's GDP, so while it might be tempting to gain power, it would probably demolish the economy.
Which Trump is also actively doing on a grand scale.
Oh, definitely. Just wanted to stress that it would be even worse without one of the richest and most productive states.
This I think is indeed the main reason why Greenland does not wish to be part of the US. Trump offered to pay 100.000 to each citizen of Greenland, to buy it. But this is less than what Denmark spends on Greenland every year.
I honestly believe that there are more people who want the US to become part of Denmark, than there are people who want Greenland to become part of the US
One of the biggest reasons I do not want to join the USA is that I do not want to lose our healthcare.
No more health care for you. We need that money for our Bombz4Kidz program.
That's one of the reasons he wants the EU destroyed. We set a bad example. Things can be done differently, even under capitalism.
"No good deed goes unpunished" or something like that.
People thought capitalism could be controlled here in the USA as well. May your capitalism not regress into late stage during your lifetime. To bad about your kids though.
Pro tip for white people, because your colonizer indoctrination has made you blind to this:
No one that gets invaded by anyone ends up better than they started. Yes, that includes all the countries you've invaded too.
I generally agree, and I have the same mindset. So you can imagine how surprised I was when my Taiwanese friend told me how much better off Taiwan was after the Japanese occupation. Probably the only Asians with a positive opinion of Japan...
Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion.
Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war.
In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it's only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.

To be fair, the Japanese occupation of Taiwan ended in 1945, so who knows what you're friend is basing that on.

As a PoC who grew up in the West the colonizer indoctrination is directed at everyone here, not just white people. We're just more likely to decolonize our mindset due to attachment to communities negatively impacted by colonial institutions.

I don't support the American takeover of Greenland, but I fully support the Greenland takeover of America. Where do I vote?

Trump is upset all those people are happy. This will fix that.
I think his plan is to take all of that away from them.
Greenlanders also recieve scholarships, free transportation (planes and helicopters) as well as free dental, which the rest of us don't.
I would kill for free dental and free public transport.
I would kill for free dental and free public transport.
It appears you may have to ..
What does that mean? Whether or not we lose Greenland, I won't get free dental and free public transport anytime soon. The greenlandic, on the other hand, either get to keep these perks or they get to be part of the US which I'm sure they don't want. I sure as shit don't want them to end up the new Puerto Rico because I have zero trust that the Americans will treat them as people with human rights.

As if muricans have a track record of trampling natives... oh.

52 weeks is mind blowing. They got it good over there. Almost like the government wants people to create families/communities.
That's the power of unions. They got so powerful the politicians were scared of them and started improving worker rights out of self-preservation.

Actually I have 6 weeks paid vacation 18% employer paid pension, but I'm a government employee. Danes in commercial industry only have 5 weeks and about 9% pension... Suckers
It's actually 6 weeks of paid vacation not counting public holidays like Easter, Christmas, etc
Actually many/most people working for the government in Denmark have 6 weeks paid vacation. Even ones in low wage positions
Wrong and very nonsensical question.
Rephrase it to "if Denmark acquires California".
We are so down with all of this. Sign California up!!
I'm a bit unhappy with my current job, because I only get 25 days of paid holidays (of course not including public holidays). That's 5 days below industry average, so my next job I'll look gor 35+ days.
Nope, it would go the other way. America is just trying to save those dear citizens of the horrors of public healthcare so they can also find the value in medical bankruptcy.
CNBC is over the top insulting zionazis this morning. "The west needs US to control Greenland for its security". When there is no pushback on the pure lie that China and Russia are about to invade the furthest place on earth to them, with the most expensive resource extraction, then there can be no pushback on invading any country, ally or not, because, while most countries have China as biggest trading partner, it is always a threat for them to move from number 2 to number 1.
The US is about to collapse. In Canada's case the strongest basis for refusal to be a US territory (Statehood not actually on table) is the US's huge debt burden. But quality of life healthcare/education system corruption, as Bernie points out, would make any states willing to become a Canadian province much better off. One path to US collapse is States escaping federal debt through secession and "irreconsilable differences" on fascism and Zionazi first rule warmongering.
But when colonies don't push back on the main lie behind US wars (Venezuela had CIA lies about election fairness and legitimacy of governance. Iran propaganda is calling Mossad rioting terrorists peaceful protestors), the the colonies are just gaslighting their people in a "stages of grief" bribery delay tactic towards acceptance of a more perfectly subservient colony.
