That is the opposite position that the moderator in the post took. Their position was that, on a macro level, there is no distinction between an American who disagrees with the Government’s actions but fails to stop it and the American government itself. Apologizing, to them, wasn’t about accepting guilt for the government. It was about trying to dissociate yourself from the actions of which they still put on every American.
I think its as bullshit take to simplify all Americans to their government as it is for any other nation, but it’s also bullshit to try virtue signal at greenlanders to rid yourself of the guilt of the government’s actions. There is a middle ground here, and I don’t think dissociation is the solution either, unless that dissociation comes with action. We all need to accept accountability and responsibility for the state of things as much as we have any influence over, and we all need to stop making it others problems.
Ironic that their nationalism fuels the fascism that they supposedly oppose.

People are so brainwashed that they’re taking personal responsibility for the theft of Greenland.
Don’t identify with and apologize for the state. Disassociate and resist.
