Wrong and very nonsensical question.

Rephrase it to "if Denmark acquires California".

We are so down with all of this. Sign California up!!

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 hours ago

Actually I have 6 weeks paid vacation 18% employer paid pension, but I'm a government employee. Danes in commercial industry only have 5 weeks and about 9% pension... Suckers

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 8 points 6 hours ago

I'm a bit unhappy with my current job, because I only get 25 days of paid holidays (of course not including public holidays). That's 5 days below industry average, so my next job I'll look gor 35+ days.

Pro tip for white people, because your colonizer indoctrination has made you blind to this:

No one that gets invaded by anyone ends up better than they started. Yes, that includes all the countries you've invaded too.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

As a PoC who grew up in the West the colonizer indoctrination is directed at everyone here, not just white people. We're just more likely to decolonize our mindset due to attachment to communities negatively impacted by colonial institutions.

I generally agree, and I have the same mindset. So you can imagine how surprised I was when my Taiwanese friend told me how much better off Taiwan was after the Japanese occupation. Probably the only Asians with a positive opinion of Japan...

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion. 

Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war. 

In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it's only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.

[–] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 hours ago

I guess it's only the case for the Mandarin-speaking population

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, the Japanese occupation of Taiwan ended in 1945, so who knows what you're friend is basing that on.

He said his grandparents told him so

Nice

Has anyone ever said that racism is bad even when it's against white people? Just don't do it to anyone as we're all the same, and such?

Pro tip: just replace any color with a different color. If all of the sudden it sounds offensive to you, then it was offensive to begin with.

I now sincerely wonder how many people will come by to tell me that racism towards white people is fine because a group of white people were assholes, so we all must be assholes

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 9 points 6 hours ago

The worlds tiniest violin has never stopped playing for the white folks subjected to what they think racism looks like.

That's one of the reasons he wants the EU destroyed. We set a bad example. Things can be done differently, even under capitalism.

"No good deed goes unpunished" or something like that.

[–] laughing_hard@lemmy.world 122 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

It would actually be the other way around, hence why Greenland will fight tooth and nails to not become part of the US.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

One of the biggest reasons I do not want to join the USA is that I do not want to lose our healthcare.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 1 hour ago

No more health care for you. We need that money for our Bombz4Kidz program.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 65 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

Yeah, hey, on that note, maybe Denmark would like to acquire the United States.

The funniest thing about this is that if they did actually propose it, Trump would be absolutely stupid not to support it; it would basically ensure GOP domination in every major election for the foreseeable future if we lost California's blue votes.

What I'm saying here is, don't stop at California, include all the other blue states, too, please. Take us with you. :(

[–] dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well...

California contributes more than 10% of the USA's GDP, so while it might be tempting to gain power, it would probably demolish the economy.

[–] Oyml77@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Which Trump is also actively doing on a grand scale.

I think his plan is to take all of that away from them.

CNBC is over the top insulting zionazis this morning. "The west needs US to control Greenland for its security". When there is no pushback on the pure lie that China and Russia are about to invade the furthest place on earth to them, with the most expensive resource extraction, then there can be no pushback on invading any country, ally or not, because, while most countries have China as biggest trading partner, it is always a threat for them to move from number 2 to number 1.

The US is about to collapse. In Canada's case the strongest basis for refusal to be a US territory (Statehood not actually on table) is the US's huge debt burden. But quality of life healthcare/education system corruption, as Bernie points out, would make any states willing to become a Canadian province much better off. One path to US collapse is States escaping federal debt through secession and "irreconsilable differences" on fascism and Zionazi first rule warmongering.

But when colonies don't push back on the main lie behind US wars (Venezuela had CIA lies about election fairness and legitimacy of governance. Iran propaganda is calling Mossad rioting terrorists peaceful protestors), the the colonies are just gaslighting their people in a "stages of grief" bribery delay tactic towards acceptance of a more perfectly subservient colony.

It's actually 6 weeks of paid vacation not counting public holidays like Easter, Christmas, etc

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 29 points 14 hours ago

Trump is upset all those people are happy. This will fix that.
