Currently Denmark participates in financing Greenland, pulling the rug on it would likely not be pleasant for the greenlanders and if they did I'd count that as rather dickish unless the greenlanders had a near consensus on the issue and asked the danish parliament to do it.

Well, some justice have been sought and won, but a lot remains. To me it seems like an attempt at distraction to clump together the treatment of the Mau Mau and the nuking of Algeria with Denmark's relation with Greenland.

Besides economic relations, independence for Greenland would also mean that they would need to seek justice to a larger extent through international courts and in at least some cases it's likely easier for greenlanders to find justice in danish courts.

Ok, why doesn't denmark finance birundi?

> Well, some justice have been sought and won

And yet denmark hasn't burned. How do you remediate this contradiction?

Believe me, britain deserves far worse than just being burned down. But denmark still must face justice

You make it sound that the brits were the bad guys, when it was an elite top % pulling the strings and the rest were mostly trying to make ends meet.

But yes agree, the elite extracting wealth from the colonies back in the days, and still are extracting wealth from your average Joe, deserves far worse.

Colonies can only address this at the granularity of the nationalism with which they were presented. If every-day brits don't want to be blamed, they need to make their own rebellion to show they aren't party to the evil done in their name.

I think this is true of my own country (the US), and it's hopeless. I think most americans are ok with the evil done in their name. I wish I had better advice or insight.

But pretending like two imperial powers arguing over greenland is some great injustice just spits in the face of humanity. Have some fucking dignity. Greenland deserves better than to be treated like a piece of property

It does, through NGO:s, humanitarian aid and african development and investment funds.

If you think a war for liberation is appropriate for the greenlanders I suggest you move there and agitate in local languages for this.

Oh? so you're pro continued rape of africa? How has that worked out? Which african peoples are asking for this at this point?

Christian charity failed generations ago and it's pathetic to see people still voicing support for it
