in the whole greenland conversation i feel like there’s not nearly enough acknowledgement of the fact that greenland is already suffering under imperial rule. seeing wayyyyy too much tacit validation of denmark’s possession of greenland on socials today. look into reproductive abuse against greenland inuit women by the danish state.
