That's good fun I recommend for everyone.
Apologizing & explaining themselves to Greenlanders, though, is a bit extra beyond "showing empathy". It's neediness seeking comfort, consolation, & validation. Expecting the people of Greenland to also dote on & assuage the guilt of those whose government is threatening them is a bit much.
I'm glad that you think you always know everyone's motivations and that they're obviously always bad, but in reality you don't.
I mean... most of the american left... are like this. It's most about feelings. They have no real coherent politican platform. They think sitting around feeling bad is the same as having a policy or a platform.
If you put forth any course of actionable discourse, they basically tell you you're an asshole because you are making them feel bad. I used be 'involved' and I gave up because all anyone wanted to do was sit around and jerk themselves off about their feelings and suggesting any action beyond interent memes was considered 'oppressive'.
