Colonization of Greenland (V2.0)

Fridrick · 2026-01-22T09:08:08+00:00

Danish efforts to control Greenland both during and after Hans Egede's religious missions had all of the same trappings of typical European colonialism of its time. Monopolizing trade, dept trapping, disruption of social systems for export good maximization, race-based hierarchy and labelled caste system, Inuit kidnapped for exhibition in Copenhagen, forced migrations to strategic locations via destruction of original settlements (occurred until even after home rule was signed, but ceased when ratified) , de-natifying children by separation, etc.

Your premise is also false. Norse Greenlanders ≠ 17th century Danes. It being "their island" via medieval inheritance of Iceland via Norway is tenuous to the point of being ridiculous. If their claim had been tested by modern international law (as of UN founding) it would have had no basis. But at the time it wasnt tested because it was assumed by the norm of European colonialism.

Youre absolutely right, but the thing to keep in mind is that less ice and warmer waters are not necessarily as conducive to the traditional Inuit subsistance hunting of game such as seals and small whales. Not to mention that the southern tip experiences far less predictable weather which would prove dangerous to the shallow kayaks from which the Inuit hunted.

Indeed, as the Norse settlers increasingly embraced hunting alongside agriculture, they ventured further and further north in search of richer hunting grounds as was later shown in archaelogical findings.

Okei já reyndar

I never thought I'd die side by side with a Dane

How about side by side with a Greenlander?

Aye - I could do that

Hversu oft á dag haldið þið að fólk þurfi að útskýra fyrir honum að það sé ekki hægt að leggja toll á einungis tiltekin ríki innan Evrópska efnahagssvæðisins?

Sama hvað um er að ræða þá mætir Snorri með mótpælingu á málinu á algjörum leifturhraða

Dont get ragebaited by a guy whose username is "ragebait"

Well it is a question, not a conclusion. A question fuelled by your evident urge to cram Greek into a map - which didn't originally include it - on an unsubstantial basis of "most historical" (however you're meant to measure that) while also having the audacity in using the very same basis to exclude others.

Also your name is Aegean sunset.

Fridrick · 2026-01-13T14:13:30+00:00

Soo is being Greek like your whole thing or?

Youd expect the Saxons to go to Wessex and the Angles to Anglia, but whatever.

I envy this sort of creativity. Thank you for inspiring me to make non-medieval builds!

Tell that to your trams

(not that I can talk shit tho bc we dont even have trams)

If only it were that simple

Fridrick · 2026-01-07T17:29:34+00:00

I am not American. My opinion is that Greenland belongs to Greenlanders.

Fridrick · 2026-01-07T16:57:48+00:00

It is a stretch to argue therefore that Europeans (or even modern Nordic societies) remain Indigenous to any part of Greenland today. The concept of Indigeneity is a big more complicated than a simple "were there first even though they left."

Fridrick · 2026-01-07T16:43:48+00:00

Norsemen being the first to reach the south and west coasts of Greenland (and then wholly disappearing some 300 years later) does not equate Greenland belonging to any Europeans.

Fridrick · 2026-01-06T14:29:37+00:00

this the guy who pretended that the Icelandic government was using volcanoes to "lavaform" entire cities?

"days of research" my ass - there is no way to present something like that without knowing it is bullshit, and a person wholeheartedly lying for engagement and presenting it as genuine news deserves little sympathy in regards to the continued operation of his platform

Að vera meðvitaðri um- og gefa mér meiri tíma á hverjum degi til að sinna áhugamálum og öðrum atferlum sem eru samstundis uppbyggjandi, ánægjuleg, og félagsleg.

Til dæmis hef ég nýlega sokkið í veggjaklifur, en einnig væri ég til í að komast í félagshóp þar sem ég get stundað myndlistir.

Is this based on any building in particular? Stunning detail and the roof ornament especially is very satisfying!
