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

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month 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.

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

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

That looks like half the population of the country.
