Neat. Any additional information?? Was this in Nuuk?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

This photo was from Nuuk, but there were also rallies in other towns too

I'm confused, if they're Greenlanders why is only one wearing green? Even their flag isn't green. But then again, neither are the hillsides, so I guess it tracks. Anyway, good on them, resisting the Rancid Cheeto.

Looks bigger than the U.S protests sadly.

The media is actively misleading about US protest and their frequency and size. Coverage has been extemely minimal and downplaying how many are protesting. There have been protests larger than this in the US. Copying my comment from elsewhere on a related thread

Here's one from yesterday with 1000 people in Boise, Idaho

Here's a super incomplete timeline with just a handful of the nationwide protests. I'm missing a lot, I'm just showing your the photos I had from recent memory


8 days ago there were national protest for science funding cuts. Here's the main one in DC


11 days ago there were nationwide protests in all 50 US state capitols + DC + Many cities within those states. This was part of the 50501 movement

Portland, Oregon

Monroe, Wisconsin

San Fransisco, California

Albany, New York

Raleigh, North Carolina

Richmond, Virginia

Austin, Texas

Protests Outside Fox News in New York City


16 days ago there were large protest in the Iowa Statehouse


19 days ago, a protest in Cherry Hill, New Jersy outside Tesla Showroom as part of a nationwide movement protesting Telsas. There have been tons more than just this one and these happen basically every day


21 days ago, large protests in DC for Ukraine aid


And so on. There's a lot more going on than just this

The total population of Greenland is only around 54,000. I think all of them are in this photo.

That looks like half the population of the country.

Imagine if half the US got off their asses.
