>>8209What was wrong with imperialism? For example, the colony called Greenland is home to 55,000 people, while its owner, the metropolis, Denmark, is home to 6 million people. Due to global warming, the snow there will soon melt and a tasty morsel will appear there. What's wrong if one democratic empire, for example the United States of America, first holds a referendum on Greenland's independence in the land of Greenland, and then a referendum on its joining as the 51 state to USA? After all, it's stupid to allow Denmark to own such a treasure, given their obvious weakness. Democracy is when your country's politicians listen to the opinions of the citizens of your country, and not when your country's politicians listen to the opinions of people living in another country and behaving himself in their benefit.
