We are the conservatives. No one else is conservative
Mercator is misleading and should've been ditched a long time ago though
>>224494341Equal Earth™ is a stupid woke name, subtly implying that all people on it are equal too. Protip: they are not. But I am in favor of this map over the Mercator one for realism. That's what I would have called it: realistic map.
>>224494432that's just you projecting your amerimutt culture wars fried mind onto the word equal though
>>224494341>We prefer convenient fictions over the truthoh we know
>>224494448
>>224494451Of course, French people love it when Africans get bigger.
i thought africa was small because it's only worth 3 armies in risk but damn that shit is actually huge in real life
>>224494451nigga, ALL the maps are projections unless its google earth that shit bussin fr
>>224494448I agree but it seems the purpose is indeed wokie stuffhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/04/un-vote-world-map-mercator-equal-earth-africa
>>224494498You should be happy. Your resident retard will see how BIG Africa is and will want to invade it. The 53rd State soon o algo.
>>224494656This cant be serious
>>224494341>We are the conservatives. No one else is conservativeEveryone already knew you were cucks. No need to repeat it twice.
>>224494656Africa as a continent has basically no historical footprint south of the Sahara, the size of the map is irrelevant in that context.
>>224494677>simps for his government even when it slaughters its own people en masse for not liking itpretty sure that makes you the cuck bro
>>224494701>If I invent things in my head then it's trueClassic conservcuck.
>>224494720>boy on the left = palestine>boy on the right = israel
>>224494656who cares about this?
>>224494341I like Mercator, it doesn't matter it makes Brazil smaller.No one cares about fucking Africa, or Pintópolis, in Minas Gerais, ou Xique-Xique, Bahia, let's be honest.
>>224494739>both are nigletsBravo, Nolan!
right is better because thirdies are less likely to notice my country on the map
>water and housing as a human right?>against>condemning israel, russia, nazis?>against>peaceful resolution to ukraine war?>against>new world map?>against
>>224494767every thirdie knows about the cock and balls shape formed by sweden & finland
>>224494760mercator is objectively ugly
>>224494788How? It looks more pleasing than a map thats distorted to emulate the curvature of the earth.
>>224494776I KNEEL to the superior American way.
>>224494788Mercator is the best projection to represent the shape of the countries, all other projections seems distorted and ugly
they should just use globes ffs. bam problem solved
>>224494798how can you think a map where 1/4 of it is just a bloated antarctica that looks bigger than all other land on earth looks good
>>224494656>>224494341It's so fucking pathetic that some people keep insisting the Mercator projection is some evil conspiracy from Whitey to keep blacks down.If anything, the fact that Africa is so large and thus has so many more resources makes it even more shameful that they never amounted to anything.
>>224494849Dehumanizing Africans is a really stale meme. You should get over it, jose bin ahmet.
>>224494842Everyone just ignores it anyway.The proportions are way nicer and its easy and clearer infer the location of regions and countries.
>>224494351"Misleading" how?All flat 2D maps are projections with "misleading" characteristics, it's impossible to project a sphere onto a 2D plane perfectly.Mercator was used because it comes the closest at displaying the correct shapes of geographical features, at the price of distorting sizes around the equator and the poles. Oh no! What a nightmare!
I always thought Africa was a shithole because of its size of the world map. With the single change I now believe that Africa is literally Wakanda.
>>224494341Aren't the shapes on the equal earth projection distorted at the poles? Like it doesn't represent the accurate shape of northern countries.
>>224494341nothing will surpass sarkisian and quinnno one take these retards seriously
>>224494876>The proportions are way niceryou just say that because you're used to it though i too grew up with mercator and recognize equal earth looks better
>>224494766gramp got game
this is the real earth btw
>>224494880>Mercator was used because it comes the closest at displaying the correct shapes of geographical features, at the price of displaying the incorrect shapes of geographical features??
>>224494787*limp cock and ballsfixed that for you
>>224495037Mercator displays the correct *shapes* and incorrect sizes. Equal earth displays the correct sizes and incorrect shapes, such as inaccurate directions (NESW) in northern countries. It's not hard to understand.
>>224494869>The semitic jew in denial is still projecting onto superior spanishKekYou will never be human
>check the updated map >china looks much smaller, while the US much biggerSurprised china didn't voted against that
>>224494849to be fair most of those resources are only useful for industrialized societies and considering the amount of diseases that came from there I would much rather have siberia as starting map
>>224494341I've always known the second mað and still hate niggers, what's the point?
>>224495239why is your women in the dms of a non human? kissless chud
>>224494701>simps for his government even when it slaughters its own people en masse for not liking itdidn't you do the same with ruby ridge, both world wars,vietnam, etc?
>>224494341That's the Robinson projection. Why do they call it equal earth? it makes it sound cringe. The Robinson projection has always been superior to the Mercator. I don't know why the change hasn't been done before
>>224494656what the fuck are those people on about
>>224495428I’m not sure it is. Really hope that’s not the actual map in the article. It looks like dogshit with everything being stretched out or mushed
>>224495618This map sorta misrepresents directions in the northern parts. Am I the only one who sees it? Like you can have one city directly north of another in real life, but this projection would make it look NW/NE of the other city
>>224494739>>224494766He is right though
>>224494351it preserves compass bearings locally. "equal area" preserves nothing but thirdies' egos, it gives you a wrong idea of the shapethere's a reason why satellite photo collages and naval charts use mercator>>224494432it's no more realistic than mercator. they both distort the surface of a sphere to fit it on a cylinder, just in different ways. mercator was adopted because it was more useful for navigation.
>>224494341what do you want to conserve?
>>224495867>t.Okay, abrahamcuck.
>>224495428the UN one distorts the earth more than robinson, it's so asshttps://map-projections.net/compare.php?p1=robinson&p2=equalearth&sps=1
>>224494351>>224495428maps are really for navigation not just a thing to look atthe useful projections will continue to be used
>>224494341Equal Earth fucking sucks. I know Mercator is obsolete as fuck, but Equal Earth is just geometrically and mathematically ugly.I would have picked a projection which at least would have been easier to mathematically replicate, like Kavrayskiy VII or Wagner VI.Hell, even the Natural Earth projection was better and that was by the same creators of Equal Earth.
>>224494451all maps are convenient fictions
>>224494341Map on the right looks shite and unaesthetic
>>224498790Google maps is for navigation, paper maps are just for looking at in current year
>>224495989their ego
>>224494341>>224494351>>224494432>>224494448>>224494451if you genuinely give a fuck about what map projection a meme org uses, please consider suicide
>>224494341Blame the earth for having the landmasses so close to the north pole in the first place
Probably costs a lot of taxpayer's money to change all the maps, for no reason but to virtue signal
>>224494341It looks like it had an errection
>Black BVLLs endured an inaccurate map that comically shrunk their continent for CENTURIES>soft white boys are buck broken by facts & logic in 1 day
>white people can more easily see they are a minority and that Africans are a blobbing massive menaceI have no issue with this
>>224495379Your country has the same HDI as Acre.Never realized you guys were that poor... Amazon Jungle Indians have the same level of development as you. Crazy.
>>224502495You want the old map because Greenland looks huge on it and then you can steal Greenland and say you stole a massive Africa sized chunk.
>>224494341Conservative at what? Your nation is liberal af. You defend free speech with tremendous anger and whatnot.The only conservatives left on this day and age are muslims, and you liberal, GDP worshipping fags declared them enemies
>>224499158>Probably costs a lot of taxpayer's money to change all the mapsIt doesn't. Unless you think routine map updates are costly lol
>>224494849You went off topic and started ranting about resources. You are really sad to watch.>>224494679>Africa as a continent has basically no historical footprint south of the SaharaThat logic can literally be applied to every state.>>224494656Mercatoe made Africa and every landmass newe the equator extremely small which in turn made actual statements and decisions dependant on actual landslide distorted. People REALLY don't grasp distances that well even at the poles, imagine trying to explain to someone that the DRC is almost as large as continental Western Europe.
>>224494341Mercator makes sense for navigation, Equal Earth makes sense for displaying statistics, since the size of a country is a lot more relevant than the shape
Well atleast we didn't voted. Peoples worship BBC too much nowadays.
>>224505454>Peoples worship BBC too much nowadays.You are weird.
>>224505633Whatever, Rajesh
>>224494880>"Misleading" how?It makes Australia bigger than it is and gives a wrong impression that the country is not full yet (but it is!)
>>224494432The Equal Earth map gets its name because it is an equal-area projection that displays all of the world's landmasses in their correct, proportional sizes.
>>224494670>conquering Africa to increase our nation's strategic reserve of huge black assesHe'd become a national hero overnight and deserve at least two more terms.
>>224505454Most butthurt award
if now we see africa and india have so much land, will it stop western nations from thinking they owe 3rd world something?
>>224502862Mega Greenland is hilarious to look at
same country that keeps voting to change names of lakes lmao
>>224506440>if any singular African country swallowed its pride and accepted shipments of endless high IQ white sperm to impregnate every woman aged 18-35 with, they would be the continent's superpower in the next 30 yearsit's that simple
>>224494341This is old old old news. Projections will warm the relative size of continents. The law projections have been figured out for like over a hundred years. People are literally so stupid they don’t know anything beyond their short simple lives and what they’re fed through YouTube.
>>224494341>RobinsonEhhhh I'm more a Winkel Tripel guy
What about the rest of you, /int/? Do you have favourite projections?
>>224494776What do these proposals do other than express a wish? What's the point of voting in favor? It does nothing in the real world.
>>224494656Once again america proves to be the only based country left
>>224494341What a waste of a UN session, there's so many other pressing matters to discuss and find solutions to lmao
>>224494341>In September 2026, the French government adopted the Eckert IV projection, to express support for the African Union's UN proposal to implement an equal-area world map and phase out the Mercator projection.Huh? It seems France is adopting the Eckert IV projection and not Equal Earth.
>>224494448bodied that freak
if muslims have all this land why cant they stay in muztown
>>224494341Is this bait? Or are you actually retarded.Why do I feel like it's the latter
>>224494959>equal earth looks betterThat is a completely subjective statement. “Better” in what way or for what purpose, exactly? You did not elaborate, not even one bit, and I disagree. What I do agree with is other anons in this thread saying the Equal Earth™ map is meant to preserve thirdworldist egos. Mercator is good for navigational purposes and satellites use it, Google Maps uses it: That I agree with too. Plus, it is retarded that the United Nations ignores its own politically-neutral logo and goes on to adopt this weird-ass projection for who-knows-what.>>224510257Mercator and picrel.
>>224494341I'm sorry, why is this news, and who the fuck cares?
>>224512976...Also, funny how OP's picrel's projection name includes the word “Equal” because of course everything has to be diverse, equal and inclusive in these trying times, according to homo-globalist totalitarianism (a consequence of the French Revolution's “liberty, egalitarianism and fraternity” slogan / pseudovalues).
>>224510498un resolutions on actually pressing matters are all blocked by western countries so might as well vote on this as well
>>224513305
>"we're going to change the projection of the Earth's map">OH MY GOD IS THIS A BBC REFERENCE?????>WE CAN'T HAVE THIS!!!!!!
>>224510498That's exactly why the US voted against ithttps://usun.usmission.gov/explanation-of-vote-before-the-vote-for-unga-80-adoption-on-the-resolution-to-correct-the-map/>Instead of focusing on genuine problems of international peace, prosperity, or good relations, this body is debating map projects from the 16th century, and their role in promoting reparations and “cognitive justice.”
>>224494341Wow, UN re-invented Robinson projection. Wait till they hear about globes
go back to the jungle or the cavesconserve tradition
>>224494351If you don't want distortions from projecting a 3d surface onto a 2d surface get a globe. Why do people who want accurate land sizes keep on insisting on a new map. Are globes an American only technology, every single classroom I've ever been in had one. Is the American education system monopolizing every globe in existence via pre-orders that none of you can buy one?
>>224516518I want the squaring of a circle problem to be solved this century.
