The two sides here are

1: maybe-later-kiddo I support independence in theory but it just won’t work right now, sorry, we have to protect you from the Cheeto

2: frothingfash Yes, independence please. I don’t want my precious tax kroner to go to redacted-1 redacted-2

oh and I guess this whole thing is in reply to 90s pop singer Björk making an official statement supporting their independence, but who cares really

    Completely agree. Greenlandic people have a crystal-clear understanding of their situation. According to the people I spoke with, they overwhelmingly want to be independent but most acknowledge the need to develop local industries first for it to be sustainable

    Specifically, their natural resources need a lot more investment in exploration (which is ongoing!) to determine whether any can economically be exploited
