I think I figured out one reason Trump is going after Greenland. It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.
That is genuinely stupid enough to be plausible.
Look at it, it’s almost as bit as Africa! We haven’t found who is the president of Africa, so we had to make do with Greenland though.

In the Mercator projection it appears to have about the same area as Africa, while in reality it is about a 14th of it. But, I wouldn’t say that “isn’t that large”: if Greenland was independent it would be (and Denmark is, because of it) the 12th largest country in the world.

With Tump back in the office, soon enough they’ll be auctioning off federal lands and the postal service. Privatization is back on the menu.
AI slop.

Can’t afford a hobby.
that was close, almost upvoted.
I mean the message is good, but the medium is, well slop.
As usual we’ve found an engaging distraction to play whack-a-mole with for a while. When we get bored with bashing Elon Musk we’ll find another one, never addressing the core problem of how to take down the oligarchy. Because that will take methodical work and a huge amount of diligent research and objective thinking - assuming anybody ever gets around to doing it at all. Most of us just entertain ourselves with angry memes, created by the few people with enough motivation to do even that much. This is why aristocracy systems can keep perpetuating themselves - they rely on human inertia - most people prioritize entertainment over doing anything substantial. Bottom line, that’s the real reason things are the way they are.
thank you
edit: actually the main page is pretty much dead links R us.
I’m out of the loop and also not American. Can somebody elaborate please?
Donald Trump has offered to purchase Greenland. He wants to take the Panama Canal by brute force and keeps suggesting that Canada should become a State in order to avoid his oncoming tariffs. Meanwhile, Musk ‘donated’ about 250,000,000 USD to Trumps election campaign helping ensure he won and now we are all watching the US become an oligarchy. (Effectively Trump is owned by Musk).
People sometimes come up with things they think are clever, but don’t have the time, money, or energy to present them in a meaningful way, so they instead make a shitty AI image of a billboard to get more attention than their words would otherwise.
I’m more worried if Germany is for sale
Ah yes, because the US has a history of just accepting no for an answer and absolutely does not use coercion and violence to get the desired outcome.
