People saying that this isn't accurate. That may or may not be true. But we can still enjoy that they made an active effort to belittle Trump. Which has to piss him off. So we have that going for us. Which is nice.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
According to a poll for Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq, more than a third of voters said the documentary would influence their vote.
Disinformation is effective propaganda.
That documentary is complete bullshit. It misrepresents just about everything about the situation, and idiotically claims revenue is the same as profits.
https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%B8nlands_hvide_guld
Translated quote:
DR launched an internal investigation into the documentary's creation process. As a result of the investigation, the institution decided on 19 February 2025 to completely withdraw the film
Original:
DR iværksatte en intern undersøgelse af dokumentarens tilblivelsesproces. Som et resultat af undersøgelsen besluttede institutionen den 19. februar 2025 helt at trække filmen tilbage
Rune Lykkeberg, editor-in-chief of Danish newspaper Information, agrees. “Not political in the sense ‘we need to censor this message to appease the government’. But corporately political in the sense that ‘we must do this to protect our brand and control the damage’.”
He added: “DR is like the BBC, a public-service station whose ultimate executive is the government – the minister of culture appoints the head of its board who appoints the formally independent CEO of DR. He came out with heavy criticism of the documentary, which was also political overreach.”
we must do this to protect our brand
They removed it because it was factually false. Not just "to protect the brand".
whose ultimate executive is the government
That doesn't change the fact that the "documentary" was factually wrong and decidedly misleading. It was not removed due to political pressure, it was widely criticized by economists too. The whole thing was essentially libel, and could have been legally removed if they hadn't done so themselves. This insinuation of conspiracy is disgusting!!
I have known about Kryolit since the 70's, and it was NEVER a golden business, and already back then only marginally profitable, with considerations to shut it down.
Meaning this all dates back to before Greenland became Autonomous in 1979. If Kryolit had been found anywhere else in Denmark, it wouldn't have been treated differently.
The difference today is that Greenland and Faroe Islands have way more self determination than any other part of Denmark.
Det betyder ikke at de ikke har lavet graverende fejl i "dokumentaren"
I never said it did. But Denmark's ruse to stomp on Greenland is sick at best.
Colonizers gotta colonize.
What is sick is you keeping spreading misinformation.
