Politico belongs to Springer, and Springer helps right wing parties like our fascist dominated AfD. AfD works together with Russia. And Politico is complaining that Europe isn't fending of Russia? Their owners are one of the main problems for our democracy.
True, but map projection has been used as propaganda for so long that most people are unaware and surprised when they first see the real size of countries. So maybe when making a graphic, a person would just draw what looks right to them because propaganda works or use a map as a template.
I know what you mean, and it’s even more shocking when the map doesn’t have the Atlantic as the centre of the world. The Gall-Peters projection is a good example.
Here in Finland, we're used to this darker time of year, but we are prepared for Putin with the experience of tolerating the big bear neighbour for years.
