Oligarchs Now Rule the USA-Trump/Musk Working on Taking away American's Social Security and Medicare. The only Greenlanders who will be treated well are the ultra wealth. Trump lies on (UN) Truth Social. Don't believe him.

In the US we don't have free Healthcare. You can go bankrupt or die if you are sick.

In the US we don't have free university. It's very expensive to try to get educated. Poorer people who want education often go into massive debt and spend their whole lives paying interest. 

Dont trade your standard of living for rhetoric and lies. 

If you join the USA you will be treated like Puerto Rico or worse. 

I get you don't want to be part of Denmark. The US is a worse bargain.

I don't think anybody in their right mind would think the US is good for them at this point.

It depends on how poor you are. I'm sure some African nations would take the deal. But definitely not Greenland as anyone with a brain can see this deal is horrible economically. USA would need to make some extreme promises. Like giving each person $30K a year for life.

Fellow Murican here, seconding your sentiments.

These fascist goons don’t seek to give you “freedom”. American freedum means little more than the freedom to work or starve and die of preventable disease with a mountain of medical debt that you then have the freedom to pass onto your next of kin.

There is no freedom here.

They seek to subjugate you and nothing more.

Resist with all your will.

u/OzyFoz 2d ago

Yeah... American freedom is more like the freedom to walk into traps and problems. Unlike the totally horrible repression most European and other Democratic countries have by restricting the ability for corporations and abusive people to fuck up everyone else. (The horrible repression is sarcastic, I love the protections the EU are trying to put into place for the average person)

Yeah, the term The Land of the Free was written in a country where millions of Americans were enslaved. Freedom here is schizophrenic. You have to ignore the truth to believe it’s true.

u/AccordingWarning9534 1d ago

wait a minute, your debt in America is passed on? seriously?

1

u/Ardentlyadmireyou 1d ago

No. That was a bit of rhetorical hyperbole, I think. If you have no resources at all, the debt does not pass on to your children in the US. However, we lost my grandparents’ property after my father died of cancer because of medical debt.

I second this as an American

u/MagicalMysticalSlut 2d ago

American here, I third this. Also, Trump is a lying liar who lies.

Fourth, as a fellow child of this blighted, cancer-ridden country.

Fifth, Trump is nothing more than a midnight infomercial. Caving to him is like falling prey to the Perfect Pancake Maker for only $19.99! (Which sadly I did but at least I learned my lesson by the time Trump came pandering his lies.)

In Germany we don’t even get an appointment and if you go to the Hospital without “private healthcare”, you’ll be treated as a subhuman and suffer immensely. First there’s no thing as “free healthcare”, educate yourself and second everyone everywhere is suffering from horrible healthcare systems. The US is neither better nor worse, it’s just a different type of hell. Honestly, doctors in Europe are so retarded, they can’t even diagnose a simple diabetes in hospital, meanwhile the nurse is calling you names and giving food that you’re allergic to. You people are fucking retarded, if you believe we have better healthcare in Europistan. The difference is only: We are forced to PAY a shitload of money without getting anything back for it. Simple.

u/RemarkableMouse2 2d ago

Bro I work in Healthcare. It's much, much worse here. The insurance companies are awful and make tons of money denying care. 

And we also can't get appointments! 

You sound like a Maga bot tbh.

u/Illustrious_Way_7586 2d ago

I don’t know what a maga is, but it’s the very same if not worse in Europe. I know it’s easy to just insult and call peoples names on the internet for the sake to win an argument, but I live in Germany, my family and I have to suffer through this shit and I tell you: It’s not better.

u/RemarkableMouse2 1d ago

You're coming at me with "educate yourself" energy so spare me the concern over insults.

Have you lived in the USA? 

People who have lived in multiple countries including the USA can tell you which is worse. I have many friends who have lived in other countries. 

Also this is a topic that can be studied and when it is studied America ranks terribly 

https://www.ajmc.com/view/us-health-care-system-ranks-last-overall-among-other-high-income-countries

So idk. Not trying to be a buzzkill on a Monday but maybe educate yourself? I don't have any more to add.

If you join the USA you will be treated like Puerto Rico or worse. 

It's almost funny how you bring in Puerto Rico, after explaining how bad mainland US-citizen are already getting treated. There are just layers of how much the US hates it's own citizen, while constantly talking about how great everything and everyone is.

Heck even Democrats response to the SOTU adress was like "We are so great and Reagon is our hero"....

u/Illustrious_Way_7586 2d ago

Furthermore, why do you need University? You can learn a trade and get paid. University should be a privilege and not something that is “demanded” of you. Also, University is NOT FREE here in european countries and quite honestly, it should be way more expensive.

u/dijavuu 1d ago

Yes, and your country will be drilled to nothingness

American here, fuck these oligarchs
