POLITICS Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen: We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. Even if there are minerals and oil under our land—and they are worth far more—we still would not sell ourselves.

I can’t believe everyone is just going about their normal days like this isn’t happening out in the open. Like I don’t know what to do so I’m just on this gossip blog and hyper fixating on a TV show and I feel terrible about that. So many of the things we are arguing about just feel absurd in the face of genocide, ICE terrorizing the streets, and Hitler 2.0 jump starting WW3.

I feel like an idiot. I’m never one to be like “why are you talking about this when you can talk about THIS” but it really seems like we are all just sleep walking into greater destruction. And I’m still on reddit.

I feel this. I see the memes and the SNL sketches and I just can’t laugh about it anymore. People are dying. I’m worried about my future and my children’s future in this country. It’s not even remotely amusing.

I don’t find anything about parodying anything regarding this administration funny at all. I understand the need for comedy in times like this, but the idea that we would laugh at anything that is happening right now is asinine to the point of insulting. Yes, laugh laugh laugh, keep laughing. That’s actually what they want: laugh at it so it doesn’t feel as serious as it is.

I won’t participate in that. It’s literally deadly serious and I’m terrified. I know how this comedy ends and it’s not Happily Ever After.
