  1. They will never be independent if they want to maintain the same level of living standard

  2.  @Miningfox  they are not primitives, they can't sustain themselves especially if they start closing mines, you genius
    31
  3.  @bleskiven  You can't have only rights without duties
    28
  4. People are blinded by ideologies
    25
  5.  @vrenak  And Denmark is not a devil at all
    25
  6.  @-haclong2366  a lot of people don't make rational decision, unfortunately
    23
  7. Unfortunately, nationalism is not rational

  8. They're more clever than the new Caledonians

  9.  @RodrigoroRex  Switzerland mined all mountain pass that connects it to Germany, Austria and Italy and those mines are still there and ready to be engaged. Anyway, nowadays its position determines that it is defended by the surrounding countries

  10. So many independentist around think they'll become even richer as soon as they get independence, but reality shows that the opposite is more frequent

  11.  @herrensaar1989  this reminds me of the Mexico paying for Trump's wall...

  12.  @plasmacannon1198  considering they won't get money from Denmark anymore, they'll have to make more deals with the Americans and Chinese corporations anyway
    6
  13.  @herrensaar1989  I understand their sentiment

  14.  @vrenak  there are way to legally corrupt someone or at least to keep it secret, even if judges are honest

  17.  @MaelPlaguecrow6942  So you don't wish it

  18.  @emib6599  a lot of areas with nationalist movements already have great autonomy (Greenland is one example) but their demands are ideological. The only independence movement I understand are the ones moved by economic reasons
    4
  19.  @KarthikAyyalasomayajula  Yes but they'd need to radically change their economic system and be super pro mines. The world is full of countries rich of natural resources which are so poor

  20.  @Wichita0  Do you know how much money do they get from Denmark? Do you know how many in Greenland work as public employees?

  21.  @Duck-wc9de  they're deluded at best

  22.  @SophiaAstatine  Well what do they want then? Without Denmark there will be China or the US or both. THis is obvious

  29. It is also part of Denmark and EU is first of all a political entity
    1
  30.  @DaDunge  not anymore, no. But it's part of Denmark which is a EU county. I imagine that's the reason why it's here

  31.  @nothernstar2576  They would be sold to the chinese
    1
  32.  @nothernstar2576  Ah well that is true

  33.  @SophiaAstatine  I don't know how much Denmark gains from retaining Greenland

  35.  @theemperor6413  Yep

  36. Why did New Caledonia asked for independence referendum when 50 of their GDP consist of subsidies from France? Nationalist ideologies over rationality
