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

Portland, Oregon

Monroe, Wisconsin

San Fransisco, California

Raleigh, North Carolina

Richmond, Virginia

Austin, Texas

Protests Outside Fox News in New York City

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

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.
