Snip:
The UN General Assembly has adopted a nonbinding resolution promoting world maps that show Africa at its true relative size, following longstanding objections that the 16th-century Mercator projection makes the continent appear disproportionately small.
The “Correct the Map” resolution, sponsored by Togo on behalf of the African Group, passed on Friday by 164 votes. The US voted against it, while Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia, and Ukraine abstained.
The measure encourages governments, schools, publishers, international institutions, and digital platforms to use Equal Earth or other equal-area projections when comparing the size of countries and continents. It neither bans Mercator nor establishes a single official UN map. The resolution also states that it does not affect international borders or territorial claims.
Togolese Foreign Minister Robert Dussey said correcting the map would restore an accurate understanding of the continent’s true dimensions. “A more faithful representation can help better cover Africa’s real wealth and potential, particularly in global economy and commercial dynamics,” Dussey told reporters.
What the fuck is Americas problem?
It’s easier to start identifying things that aren’t wrong with America.
shorter list perhaps, but not an easier task
The official reason, and I kid you not, was that UN is going WOKE (“political”) instead of “solving real problems”
“Real problems” like lakes and states that need to be renamed to own the libs. 🤡
Clown empire run by rabid dogs.
I want fucking healthcare
Accurate geography is woke
“the people who asked for this were black therefore i oppose it”
Turns out facts cared for my feelings all along
when has the UN ever solved a real problem? what’s the difference between a high school model UN and an actual UN? i guess the WHO puts out some good data sometimes
everyone: “hi I like puppies”
Usa: “we have passed the kill all puppies act”
