Nobody has ever wanted to join the USA. They’ve all had their land stolen, natives genocided/enslaved, etc.
That should put an end to the conversation.
If it doesn’t, we can with certainty dismiss all pretense of “inviting Greenland to be a state” and recognize that Trump is just undeterred in threatening invasion and exploitation of NATO territory. Likely with a dash of tyranny to keep the locals in line.
Funny, >85% of Americans don’t either. 🥲🤣😭😶😶🌫️
I’m smack dab in the middle of the US and I don’t want to be part of it, currently.
Given your username, are you planning on exiting the country?
The thought often crosses my mind, but it is far too difficult.
Why so? Genuinely curious. The US passport is the most reputable passport out there. And if you’re under 26, many countries will just accept you staying there for a year or two until you find a job.

It’s a lot of work, and the US has the most insane tax code rules for citizens/dual citizens in the world.
The amount of documentation you need to provide, and get apostilled, and hoops you have to jump through to is pretty intense. That’s not counting that to get a visa requires either a lot of paperwork/being a student (I’m not a student), degrees, and spending time living over there (usually 180-300 days a year, minimum), that if you want to work around that it’s quite expensive (Investorship visa’s aren’t cheap).
There’s also the level 2 language test required pretty much anywhere you go that doesn’t speak English as a primary language.
It’s worth it to me and my family, but it is not easy by any stretch to do.
Who are those 15%?
And why aren’t they pushed into the ocean?
9% are undecided. The other 6% are edgelords.
The ocean is solid. F***ers keep walking back to land.
