  • It is a meme. It plays on the cultural idea that the West should rescue X or Y country (that they destroyed btw), jokingly mentioning that the living condition for US people is actually worst than that of a lot of third world countries. If you have any issues with the amount of memes regarding politics being posted, you can participate sharing non political memes.

  • To the people saying Greenland should remain a colony of Denmark because that grants them some sort of protection. Europe is not going to do anything and Greenland will become a US colony.

  • I've never said that, my point is that are normal people who are indoctrinated and need discussion. They are much more likely to internalize that discussion if you do so in a civil manner, you don't need to insult to get a point across. I know of many comrades who believed in imperialist propaganda but changed their minds thanks to people doing this. Maybe that's not you case and you were born a Marxist Leninist.

    As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us.

  • In terms of civility, I feel that respect should exist on both sides, if trying to argument or convey a point. There's an important distinction, though. If you're talking with someone about something that directly affects them while you're on the other side, it feels and is different. For example, if you're talking with a Latinamerican about what recently happened in Venezuela, your "argument" feels pretty much like an attack filled with hate, while on the receiving end that impoliteness towards this person is more about frustration and a negation of the whole reality they're living. Violence by oppressors is hate, violence against oppressors is liberation. Of course no one is going to topple the US empire discussing online, but to illustrate my point a bit.

  • The thing is that Lemmy.ml is a general purpose instance, it's not about promoting Marxism, but still it upholds values that for certain people look like inconceivable requisites. We do not ask you to become a communist, but simply to understand that the rules based order imposed by the US do not apply here. We want to hear what oppressed people cannot say elsewhere.

  • they are going to sell greenland, they are not going to offer protection. wait a few weeks and see the truth brother. so they are not going to be protected, they are not going to have sovereignty and they will be an american colony. so much for your theory

  • Greenland Doesn’t Belong to Denmark Either - Left Voice

    Jump

  • no, i understand perfectly the material reality upon which the greenlanders are faced. my point is that you shouldn't be disregarding their will because some fucked up shit. they don't need client status or whatever, they don't need to be a colony of anyone. the colony status doesn't mean shit, the EU is going to fucking gift them to the us and the colony status or no sovereignty or whatever bullshit doesnt matter because the eu is usa b*****

  • unlike the us which isn't raped by corporations? you all come up with the best mental gymnstics to avoid self determination. if greenland is subjugated is not because of they have sovereignty, it's because of imperialism. how about them having sovereignty and denmark still providing military support or whatever if that's the thing that's bad, how about reparations because of colonialism?

    Jump

  • Literally Greenlanders: We do not want to be colonized by the gringos or the danish

    libs: Greenlanders choose to be part of some stupid monarchy

    please show me any proof there was actually any legal intention of having sovereignty, there wasn't, you know why? because the government is run by danish or compradors, of course they're not going to want sovereignty because it fills their pockets. maybe you should try stop spreading colonialist ideas as if they were objective truths.
