>The UN General Assembly has endorsed a new world map that more accurately reflects the true size of Africa and other continents. >The document calls on governments and institutions to abandon the traditional Mercator projection, in favor of the Equal Earth projection.Based?
Just makes Europe's dominance even more impressive
Why.. what a nonsensical thing to spend time on
>>542035913Yeah, BBC projection
>>542035913America / North America should literally be in the center of the map.
>>542035913This is anti-polar discrimination
>>542036490You're either for or against, even if his ideas aren't true, he will make them true, we will MAKE them real
>>542035982>Europe's dominance
>>542035913Equal Area is fucking retarded for this purpose. Mercator is used in organizations like the UN because it is a great way of showing geographical features to the average person. As long as they understand the size distortion as you move away from the poles, then it’s great. Equal Projection hides the geographical features on the edges so in the Earth’s case the more you move north the less geographical features you see. If that’s what this projection does, think about what the purpose of this change is…t. GIS degree
>>542036770What language do you speak? Which sect do you follow? What race are you?
>>542036368Its really not nonsensical. You have to remember that most people including politicians and finance oligarchs do not understand how a map is a 2d projections of a 3d sphere, so they take the sizes of the continents on a mercator projection as if they are the real sizes.You can just imagine a tard like Donald Trump making his decisions about what to do with a country directly based on its apparent size on the map. In fact I would argue this is why he has such an overblown respect for Russia, because it looks massive on a mercator projection.
>>542037017Portuguese kids are now speaking brazilian portuguese and can't undertand their parentsI'm gnosti but my family worships indiginous saints I'm mixed between indigenous, european, arab and african, a.k.a the brazilian raceeurucucks were so dominant during their one chance in history that they moved the capital of the empire to Rio de Janeiro. If that's what being dominant looks like their future is beyond grim.
>>542035913>Based?It is pretty based actually.There is this huge disconnect with how big Africa is, and it leads a lot to people not realizing how much space their refugees have to flee problems.So many people do not get the concept of spatial distortion by the map.Everyone I explained it to was >Why the hell are they coming here?>They have like 3 continents of space to go to.
>>542037376Do you see yourself as a native american? It must be a shame to live in a catholic, iberian, euroborn country while pretending to be another people entirely
>>542037534Hmm maybe this is a good idea.
>>542035913
>>542035913Greenland btfo
Great now you can't see alaska or greenland amazing map just to make bbc longer, trump was right about UN it is ran by morons.
>>542037022Welp that makes clown world sense
dey shuld use da flerf map duuuurrrrr durrrrr Ima reetawtid flat earfer durrrrrrr im reetawtit
>>542037022Maybe get a globe, hitler had one in his office. Russia is big still it's about position to between europe and asia.
mercator map makes Canada look massive. it's so pathetic and typical that usa was the only country to vote against the new map
>>542035913Africa is a BIG PILE OF SHIT.
>>542037562I see myself as a native brazilian. Sorry eurosissy but no one in the new world considers themselves a continuation their respective colonies. That's just an eurocope to feel important as well as relinquish guilt from their past genocides, as if the people who fought to be free of those policies were just as guilty as them are. Brazil is it's own civilization, is was idealized as such by borrowing from mixing 3 others since it's creation. I feel sorry for eurokeks that have to cope with what they previous called third world as being part of their legacy to feel like they matter, you don't, and now you're going extinct.
>>542038354true, many more countries should have like norway and sweden that got squished, and canada also you can't see northern part at all on that thing.
>>542036422I do prefer a pacific centered map>>542035913This one isn't so bad. The Mercador projection is really only a thing because of navigation so if you're using it for other reasons you're wrong. I havent seen it in schools or texts in a while, I usually see it used improperly by graphic designers. Its mostly a useless gesture though. My schools used the Goode Homolosine and here I am polposting.
>>542038404Weren't you some of the peak slavers of the Americas back in the day? Don't talk of freedom Joao
>>542038404Besides, I know latins swap from conquistadors to aztecs whenever politically convenient, Brazilians are no different, if anything you seem to be the far-gone conclusion of a slave plantation economy
>>542036368It's more significant than writing strong worded letters to bad countries.
Why are africans obsessed with the perception of their "size"??????
>>542037022Everyone has had and will continue to have access to both of these projections, and both have their strengths. They haven't made a new map.
>>542038468>Goode Homolosinewhy can't they just resize continents in photoshop for textbooks to make them as they are instead of stupid projections?
>>542038573yes. most slaves that went to the West went to Brazil. somehow they never get shit for it.
>>542036490>with 6 abstentions (Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Ukraine).Interesting how your AI generated map managed to fuck up the basic detail of who voted for what.
Its more accurate. I remember being in 4th grade and asking my teacher why Grenenland wasnt a continent if it's so big, then having it explain that flat maps are fucked.
>>542038573>>542038641I'm sure you believe this. The thing is, you don't matter and you're going extinct, so whaterver WE WUZ or NO U cope you come up with to feel better about it is irrelevant. Brazil will outlast every europoor country and brazilians will outlive every eurocuck race, sorry. I tried to educate you but I think it was naive of me to think you would drop the cope when you're facing down civilizational colapse and extinction of your race.
>>542038899>muh dick
>>542039212Whites are going extinct, and that is of no benefit to you, since they're the ones that run the good countries and the good governments. A government ran by nigger zilians will only increase the favelas and the electric showers, I'm sorry that you're being led to the slaughter with cheers instead of realizing your dream of hybrid utopia is corrupted by design
>>542038249A globe is of course the best projection, but you can't easily annotate it or see much of it at once due to the curvature, so there will always need to be flat projections. Russia is very big for sure, but China plus Kazakhstan big, not quarter of the globe big.
>>542039335Memeflags should be banned, you're all filth.
>>542039406By the time they are, Texas will be a blue state
>>542039212cope, this place is a feminist shithole
>>542035913Equal-Area map exposes that third worlders enjoy a space privilege and population privilege. They simply are not entitled to live in our countries.
>>542039397What you say!? kazakhstan is de biggest (and much bigger than uzbekistan) high five!!!
>>542035913It's funny because west wing did a joke on this over like a decade ago. The libs used to joke about this shit now they adopted it. Never vote for those tranny lovers.
>>542035913a new map that emphasizes that even though niggers have such a huge continent abounding in resources they've done nothing with it for ten thousand years beyond squatting in mud guys? crunching acres of diamonds and gold beneath their bare black feet and dwelling in huts which even a muskrat could build ... looking out on a vast shoreline yet never dreaming a sail? it's hard to see how this map does anything but emphasize niggers' failures and add to their humiliation
>>542035913>Choose the worst equal area world map
>>542039335The only ones being led to the slaughter are those "good countries" and the "good governments" as you yourself adimited they are going extinct (not to mention the wars they are itching for). Funny how that works. Whatever helps you cope I guess.
>>542039919Is this better?
>>542039977Quality is vulnerable. A sandwich and a hunk of shit are not equal, yet when one is thrown at another, the shit always ruins the sandwich. Your ways are barbarous, and it is because our people are so coddled from our good governance that they cannot see it
>>542040023if Chile loses any more weight it's gonna disappear
>>542040116Whatever helps you cope I guess
>>542040269I'd rather be in Bordeaux than Brasilia, rather be in Rotterdam than Rio, and the secret is that you'd rather be here too
>>542040269Is that how you look?
>>542035913in 100 years africa will be dragging cape agulhas across antarctica's face and we'll all be asking how this happened.
>>542035913The new map is alright but they should really show a globe like pic related instead.
>>542040452That's how his ancestor looked, before a Portuguese man added her to his harem. Today he sides with the woman, cause brownies are spiritually women
>>542035913for 450 years africa was feeling a bit cold."I swear it's just a bad angle"what is it with african academics and politicians being fixated on dick comparisons on the world stage?this is one of the funniest self owns since trans people were allowed to compete in sports as their presenting gender.
>>542040452Nope. It's anime cope.
>>542035913To be fair, the old projection sucks.Just get a globe, or a 3d render of earth on a device for large scale stuff.
>>542040535>That's how his ancestor lookedWhy doesn't anyone post real tribeswomen in the real world?
>>542035913Instead of equal area, which is ultimately meaningless, they could use equal human achievement instead - better representing how important each area of the world is to humanity.
>they've had ALL that space for ALL these years and they're STILL like THAT??
>>542040583but enough about these men with continental sized confidence issues.clearly someone is compensating for something.anybody see how happy the BBC was about it? leave it to the BBC to be fixated about everything africans have being bigger.the jokes write themselves on this one. niggers are retarded.even on the world stage they can't resist going "muh dick" how absolutely fucking embarrassing.
>>542040693>China>Korea>India>BrazilCan you remind the people itt how many Nobel prices these areas have? Less than Poland btw.
>>542040317>and the secret is that you'd rather be here too the actual secret is that I don't. You're engaging in the same mental coddling you criticized just now to feel better about your ever shittier situation. The secret reality is that if you're talking to a brazilian that is able to speak english he more likely than not enjoys a better quality of life and future prospects than you do.
>>542040691That dude posts the kuruminha as if his family tree isn't indicative of white supremacy
>>542040759Everyone can speak english, even the birds and the dogs. Now comes the part of your larp where Brazil might be a shit hole BUT you're a billionaire playboy so it doesn't matter, am i right?
>>542036368no its not nonsensical, it maters from a soft power perspective, the (a) model was deliberately chosen in modern times because it make western European controlled land bigger and those make them seem more powerful and dominant and more important in the minds of people children's espcially
>WE WUZ CULONIZER AND SHIEETlel
We apologize for being dead on right, AGAIN
>>542036935>if they recognizeAnon... these so called people fail the breakfast test. How do you expect them to know how a map projection works?
>>542035913McUSA was the only nation who voted against this. Not even Isntrael joined them. Burgers consider this a radical communist take over or something.Communism won.
>>542037713in reality green land is even smaller then what is shown on the (b) map, if you want it real size look up a 3d glob earth
>>542040846I'm sure that map helps you cope with the reality I laid it the previous post, but it dosen't change it. I don't want to live in fucking rotterdam bro. I'm happy with my indianfree, muslismfree, warfree, tropical paradise. Sorry if that makes you seethe but it is what it is.
>>542041274My indian free he says as he posts indian niggers who in real life look like sandpaper. Your reality is that you live like a hostage in a country where rape and murder are sky high, and if you're rich enough you can MAYBE avoid it, and brag about the country you habitually avoid. All this tapui worship is foolish conduct, considering what happened to them
>>542040758Nobel price is just Jews giving other Jews prices because previous winners get to vote on the next winners.
>>542041416>please kill me
There's this phenomenon of normies on the internet just learning what a mercator projection is and saying>They lied about how small greenland is!>They are hiding how big africa is!My school teachers taught what mercator is and showed us globes so I always knew this.And niggers and people in this thread think the size of continents on a map shows the supremacy of the people or something. It's all kinds of retarded.All you need to know is the Mercator projection is the globe into a longitude-latitude coordinate grid. It's really simple.
>>542041383There's more rape going on on european capitals nowadays than in the dirtiest favelas bro...Btw, all the conquistador chads you keep posting came to the conclusion that the new world was a better place to live than europe. If anything they are more my ancestors than yours.
>>542041494Normalfaggots look at everything thru a (((narrative))) lensThats why they are so easily emotionally manipulated
>>542041494*the globe flattened into a longitude-latitude coordinate grid
>>542041494Lookism never changes
>>542041583They found out it was a great place indeed, cause the natives you praise all day were so weak and feeble that ruling them was an enterprise. Why is the rape in the west sky high, is it because of white people, or brownies like YOU?
>>542039912keep in mind niggers also want the white people out of their continent, but they only want to live in cities built by white people like lagos, capetown and harare.
>>542039912>their bare black feet and dwelling in huts which even a muskrat could build ... looking out on a vast shoreline yet never dreaming a sail?MADAGASCAR WAS SETTLED BY MALAYSIANSHAHAHAHATHE FIRST BLACK AFRICANS IN MADAGASCAR WERE BROUGHT THERE AS SLAVES BY ARAB TRADERSHAHAHAHAAnd now niggers are like 50% of the island's population.
>>542041470
>>542041494my favorite shit is that I read the whole textbook in school so I knew all the meme nigger empires like zimbabwe and ghana and ethiopia but niggers are always like>DEY AIN'T TEACHN NO AFRICAN HISTORYNo nigger it's just that you can't fucking read.
>>542035913So, instead of moving to a more accurate representation of earth, we now have to have a DEI globe?On the plus side, it does seem to take into account the pear shaped globe model.Space nigger is probably pleased.
Honestly that just makes Europe look even better
>>542035913Only people who stopped paying attention to class in middle school think anyone still uses the Mercator projection for anything except historical cartography lessons.
>>542037376>I'm mixed between indigenous, european, arab and african, a.k.a the brazilian raceI thought I was bad being an anglo-slav mutt but holy shit
>>542035913This is literally white genocide
>>542041818The moon is a reflection of earth.Flip it and you have a map.Dark areas are land and shallow (coastal shelf shallow) waters.White is deep water.There is ALOT more land than they tell us.Also, Middle Earth and a few 'fantasy' maps line up perfectly with some of these other lands.
>>542041914>anglo-slav muttThat's called being Czech. Unironically not the worst combination out there. It's whites mixing with whites.
Mercatur projection "minimizes socioeconomic realities, infrastructure needs, development potential and prosperity in the Southern regions" and "can fuel prejudices in the environmental, geopolitical and security fields.”
>>542035913imagine millions of UN budget and dozens of international task groups flying business class were spent on this shit. You can just fucking switch map projections whenever the fuck you want, there are many of them, the main problem is that you just can’t represent 3d surface on 2d, no matter how many time you vote, it was discovered long time ago.
>>542035913It's the stupidest fucking thing if they're saying this is to show true size.Mercator actually has a purpose, equal-area is now just a picture.>>542035982Basically this. I main retarded complaint is that it makes the West look big a more powerful. Now it will show how big yet weak the rest of the world has been.
>>542037022Do politicians and others not know about land mass?
>>542035913>The UN General Assembly has endorsed a new worldindeed they endorse >>542037599:DD 110%
>>542036490There's a war going on and it's going great.But seriously, the UN is best doing nothing.
>>542035913They melted the ice wall and made it into a donut.
>>542041667The constant moving of goal posts is getting kinda sad. I never once praized the natives ITT, but the brazilian amazon explorers did that a lot actually. I'm tired of arguing with the raped about how "his ancestors" (not really) were based for raping (in his fantasy). You've demostrated my point about being a coping enderaged specimen perfectly, thank you. I'll go have lunch now, bye.
>>542035913They aren't ready for the best map.
>>542037022So your solution is a map that is pure psuedoscience to appeal to low IQ shitskins?You need to be banned from this site, you anti Trump shitskin third worlder.
>>542042565What goal posts? Your brown race has caused a disaster to the world that even you admit is happening to our countries! Our only mistake was accepting you as people, as equals. The whites should have cleansed the south as they did the north, and your posh arguments prove that indeed, supremacy can be fallible. Weren't you the ones importing Germans and Italians into your country to make it run and survive? I'm done with you man, you're like the cancer on the butt of a billionaire, pretending the tumor is what make him great to begin with, get outta here
>>542041603it's interesting how the narrative never is>hey let's make the map bigger where lots of stuff can be seen, instead of having the fuckin arctic take up a third of the map and greenland another quarter
>>542035913I'm used to finding countries on a map because of their shapes. Sure, go ahead and change their shapes so I'm like a nigger when it comes to maps.
>>542037022This is the only truly accurate map of the world.
>>542035913Looks like shit because it's harder to find relevant countries.
>>542039397>17,098,246 km2 >9,596,961 km2 >2,724,910 km2 Retard.
>>542042769They never stood a chance extermination worked best on flat prairies like the united states or argentina but everything else was a lost, mountains, rivers and jungles, colonizers barely survived at the Mercy of the locals
The Firmament is the Lawhttps://youtu.be/oK1g4l9AGJAhttps://youtu.be/uDGGo0v5IyE
>>542043281As if America doesn't have mountains and RIVERS. The Iberians were hellbent on marrying into the locals, they simply didn't have the same intent as those men up north. Even in the far away philipines they made it a legal statute to breed with local women above their own. That's the kind of shit that leads to this mess. I don't understand how the Spanish can be so fervent that they distrusted all muslims, even ex muslims, even their descendant moriscos on racial principle, but oh no the natives are okay!
>>542036770Brazil stands as a warning against miscegenation. The cloaca gentium of the modern world.

I just came back to say that there's the cutest otaku kuruminha sitting across me in the restaurant with her heavenly tights out. I needed to get this out to someone. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>542040693>Japan less than africatrannyme sisters how can we recover from this
>>542040758>>542041445I'd like someone to explain why everything in physics, from Amp to Coloumb to Tesla to Volt to Weber, is named after Europeans.
>>542040693Austrailia looks roughly same size as america, makes little sense to me.
>>542041445No matter how you slice it the scientific contribution of Europeans far outweigh that of Indians or Brazilians. Chinks have some inventions alright. From the 9th century AD. That they never learnt to properly use.
