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

Also note that you never heard a lib say "Yeah, independence is a nice idea but not possible right now, wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by the US, sorry that's just geopolitics" about Taiwan for example

Uncritical support to Björk in her promotion of independence for the people of occupied Kalaallit Nunaat

Give Greenland nukes

In fact fuck it, I propose that the future People's Republic of Britain become the production bed for massive nuclear proliferation as means of transition away from the financialised economy it currently has relying on London.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

There's already nukes on Greenland. They're just American:(

Denmark giving transfers to Greenland increases demand for Danish goods themselves. It's similar to Germans whining about them subsidising "lazy" Greeks. That's not how capitalism works, under it spending of any kind can create employment, and imports by Greeks were financing Germany's low fiscal deficit, since current surpluses were high while maintaining employment.

So under capitalism purely looking from "selfish" economic perspective :

  1. Denmark gains demand for its goods form Greenland increasing its own output and employment.

  2. Greenland gets access to more goods and services than it would be able to if it were independent.

This isn't anti-independence, just that Greenland losing out on transfers will likely reduce its imports. But at the same time, Greenland having its own currency may also allow it to spend in ways it can't currently ie improve productivity, employment so the loss of transfers may be somewhat offset.

Quite different from say, USSR giving transfers to Cuba. Since USSR operated under a centrally planned full employment economy, any transfer meant loss of resources but no higher employment (since it was already at full employment). Very different from capitalism.

In this case:

  1. The USSR lost access to oil and other goods which it could've sold to other countries for foreign exchange or real goods/services while not gaining additional employment.

  2. Cuba gained acesss to real goods from the USSR allowing it to have higher standard of living.

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

Oh lord, the brainworms at display are truly revealing the real sentiments of euro-chauvinist aholes. Psychic damage is certain reading these.

As a Danish person...

Langley is really :fedposting: this stunt?

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's plenty of dumbasses here who are mad about the reparations we give to the inuit people. They're also mad about the subsidies we give to Greenland - even though we extract more wealth from the country than we put into it.

That guy can easily be some dumb dane. This country is filled the smarmiest eurolibs you can think of.

Oh I have no doubt. It's that the tweet is in English that makes me suspicious. I generally don't trust "As an X..." posts of foreign countries that are in perfect English.
