        An accurate map would include countries like Japan (e.g. 2011 earthquake) and South Korea (e.g. 2022 crowd crush) in the “top coverage” category, but that doesn’t fit with the narrative.

        Yeah unironically a western-centric take by OP.

        Remember: the United States and your precious media is on the same periphery in non-english speaking countries as they are to us.

        The US influence on other places is outsized, sure, but only when compared to other cultures influence on us, not compared to local culture.

      Even if something tragic happens in America, it better only happen to good looking people because they still won’t give a shit about the rest of us.

      This would be better with a more accurate projection, like Dymaxion. That black area is so much bigger than it looks here.

        Yes! My favorite type of projection.

        Also, fun fact: the inventor of the projection, Buckminster Fuller, designed this beauty after the Great Depression and called it the Dymaxion car. 🥴

      The world is fucked.

      And I have yet to see how lit up monuments have any kind of impact at all for changing anything to the better.

      I’d argue that ot does the opposite like: “oh look, they did something.” claps hands together. “good, then that’s taken care of by someone else.”

          Maybe. The one thing I can say for sure is that far too much of eastern Europe is coloured green.

        South africa has africa in its name, so its a third world country and nothing important is there.
