It would actually be the other way around, hence why Greenland will fight tooth and nails to not become part of the US.

That's one of the reasons he wants the EU destroyed. We set a bad example. Things can be done differently, even under capitalism.
Pro tip for white people, because your colonizer indoctrination has made you blind to this:
No one that gets invaded by anyone ends up better than they started. Yes, that includes all the countries you've invaded too.
I generally agree, and I have the same mindset. So you can imagine how surprised I was when my Taiwanese friend told me how much better off Taiwan was after the Japanese occupation. Probably the only Asians with a positive opinion of Japan...
Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion.
Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war.
In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it's only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.
To be fair, the Japanese occupation of Taiwan ended in 1945, so who knows what you're friend is basing that on.
As a PoC who grew up in the West the colonizer indoctrination is directed at everyone here, not just white people. We're just more likely to decolonize our mindset due to attachment to communities negatively impacted by colonial institutions.
I don't support the American takeover of Greenland, but I fully support the Greenland takeover of America. Where do I vote?
Greenlanders also recieve scholarships, free transportation (planes and helicopters) as well as free dental, which the rest of us don't.
I would kill for free dental and free public transport.

It appears you may have to ..
What does that mean? Whether or not we lose Greenland, I won't get free dental and free public transport anytime soon. The greenlandic, on the other hand, either get to keep these perks or they get to be part of the US which I'm sure they don't want. I sure as shit don't want them to end up the new Puerto Rico because I have zero trust that the Americans will treat them as people with human rights.
*6 weeks of paid vacation.
52 weeks is mind blowing. They got it good over there. Almost like the government wants people to create families/communities.
That's the power of unions. They got so powerful the politicians were scared of them and started improving worker rights out of self-preservation.
Actually I have 6 weeks paid vacation 18% employer paid pension, but I'm a government employee. Danes in commercial industry only have 5 weeks and about 9% pension... Suckers
Actually many/most people working for the government in Denmark have 6 weeks paid vacation. Even ones in low wage positions
It's actually 6 weeks of paid vacation not counting public holidays like Easter, Christmas, etc
Wrong and very nonsensical question.
Rephrase it to "if Denmark acquires California".
We are so down with all of this. Sign California up!!
I'm a bit unhappy with my current job, because I only get 25 days of paid holidays (of course not including public holidays). That's 5 days below industry average, so my next job I'll look gor 35+ days.
Nope, it would go the other way. America is just trying to save those dear citizens of the horrors of public healthcare so they can also find the value in medical bankruptcy.
