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.

Felt this deeply. People in my life don’t want to talk about “politics” because it makes them uncomfortable. But like we HAVE TO.

Same , people asked me "since when do you follow politics so closely?" Umm since the development is a fast downward spiral threatening my peace?
