    57k people in the entire country. Doesn’t seem like a great idea when Trump is talking about annexation and they’re sitting on trillions in natural resources… Unless you’re amenable to being annexed. Pretty sure the US is getting a new territory.

      While it would certainly be nice if they were independent and stayed independent… yeah… America’s whole thing is colonizing vast swathes of land.

      Wait only 57,000 people live there? There’s more people living in the suburbs where I grew up.

        Yeah, I had to double and triple check the numbers. It makes sense, it’s not exactly a life friendly environment.

      The majority (like 89%) are Inuit, it’d be nice if both the USA and Denmark could leave them alone.

      Give Greenland a nuke!

      they’re sitting on trillions in natural resources…

      I mean those resources are going to land in US pockets with 99% probablility anyway, so they might be hoping for at least some control and getting bribed on national scale, like Saudis, but even more since there’s much less of them.

    You’d catch me being the very first after the Greenlanders themselves, to sing “Nuna Asiilasooq” with all the strength that my voice can muster, from my balcony, the moment the day finally comes. Infinite support to colonized peoples around the world in their struggle for national freedom!

    Based on a cursory search it looks like this PM is from a nominally socialist independence party.

    So I don’t quite expect he’s aiming to get annexed.

      On the other hand, the “international community” might look away as the US forcefully annexes a colony that elected a socialist leader and got uppity about independence.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
