          The Danish Realm already has three official languages, adding two more shouldn’t be a problem.

    Darn, I was kind of hoping for a viking raid of Mar-a-Lago followed by some pillaging up and down the gulf coast. Get some pirates back in the Caribbean and rename the Gulf to something even more obnoxious.

      Well, the vikings reached the east coast of what is now Canada in around the year 1,000, but they were Norwegians, not Danes. They never got any further than New Brunswick, but who knows, if they visited Florida perhaps they would have stayed…

      They could easily move at least a thousand Danes to Florida just by flying in commercial around the country, use private planes to bring in arms, and have the forces needed to seize the governors office and Mar a Lago faster than any resistance could be mounted.

      Exfil to local air field, marinas and highways simultaneously with waiting dummy vehicles, some rigged to combust, others just uninvolved duplicates. Meanwhile actually just move them a concrete room under a mall with lots of traffic.

      Or, whatever, just spitballing ideas.

    The sheer absurdity of this “news” piece perfectly encapsulates the late-stage capitalism circus we’re trapped in. A real estate fire sale of cultural landmarks? Only in a world where oligarchs treat nations like Monopoly properties and influencers mistake clickbait for journalism. Hollywood’s already a hollowed-out shell of corporate algorithms—selling it to Denmark would at least spare us another superhero reboot.

    Propaganda outlets peddling geopolitical fanfiction while actual democracies crumble? Classic misdirection. Meanwhile, the same clowns who’d auction Yellowstone to Saudi princes for a tax break are now cosplaying as statesmen. It’s not satire anymore—it’s a diagnostic manual for civilizational collapse.

    Social media’s algorithmic abyss keeps amplifying this narcissistic delirium until reality itself becomes a glitchy deepfake. Unplug the servers before someone Tweets Greenland into the ocean.
