And I've experienced that firsthand, just like.

visiting and talking to like people whether they be young or old or whatever right but it's turning into this like more this like haha but it's like maybe not that funny now between people when they talk about it this uncomfortable feeling that something is coming to a head and also danish people confronting a history with greenland that they never really had to before uh

I think one thing interesting one of my close friends mentioned was he felt like in school in Denmark, you never really learn much about Greenland, even though it's a part of the kingdom of Denmark.

But he even learned about things in the US, like the ramifications of Jim Crow laws, but he barely learned about Greenland.

And he was remarking on like how insane that is, but how that's a very shared Danish experience of feeling like you don't actually know that much.

And while Greenlanders are caught in the middle who generally have this feeling of we don't want to be fucked with by the US, but they're also going through a time period where they kind of want independence from Denmark with some asterisk on it.

People broadly want independence from Denmark

I think over 80% do.

But a huge chunk of that 80% only want independence if it comes with no large economic ramifications, which there are most certainly going to be because of the amount of funding and support that comes from Danish tax dollars.

So there's a bit more of a controversy to it.

And it also puts Greenlanders in a weird spot, right?

Where this outside force is constantly threatening you and you have to like,

play nice with like the defense from Denmark that you're actually trying to space yourself away from.

And you want, you probably want independence from in the long run and also like economically supports you.

You, you, you just want to like live your own life, develop your own economy, have your own sense of like national identity.

Like you largely already do in so many respects and you're caught between, you know, the world's number one superpower probably and,

And you're, you know, effectively colonizer in a historical context.

And you have to like pick a side because everybody's like fighting over you.

It sounds from the loose description of Greenlandic feelings that I got through these people from the people that they know in Denmark.

I understand that this is a chain of hearsay.
