You know nothing about this, so stop spreading your made up lies. A roadmap for Greenlandic independence is in place. The Greenlandic parliament is controlling the speed of this process.

It is European right now. It's under European sovereignty.


No, it's a colony. Calling it european is an affront to everyone with the ability to read


A European colony is European.


You can call anything anything you want. Why not call greenland australian?

Of course you'll look ridiculous regardless


That's just silly. Is a Frenchman French, even if he lives in the US?


This is an asinine comparison. You need to inquire about the identity of the french man's slave


It's not. European is a descriptor of sovereignty here, not one of geography.

Is your wallet yours, even if you leave it somewhere?


So use the right words: "greenland is the property of denmark"


That's what the possessive descriptor "European" means, yes. Which is why it's weird you're so against it. I'm not really sure what you're arguing at this point.


"European" is a geographic adjective. It does not apply to domination of other places. No amount of willpower will make the places that europe chooses to rape "european".


It's not purely geographic. It's possessive, it's cultural.

A Spanish dish is Spanish outside of Spain as well, as is a French song or a Danish person (the relevant one in this case!).


> It's possessive, it's cultural.

So you admit that the relationship between denmark and greenland is one of violence, not affection?


It's one of ownership. That's what possessive means.


Yes. You're talking about a relationship born of violence. Who would ever endorse this?


Thats how literally all state sovereignty everywhere in the world works.


Ok, so why cry over greenland when you know how this works?


Who's crying? We're defending our interest.
