Lets expose some of our programming, we may think we know it all... but that's because we're indoctrinated. To start things off; ^ What we're indoctrinated into (The Mercator projection) ^ Reality (The Gall-Peters projection) A few major misconceptions based on the Mercator projection:
- Alaska is nearly as large as the continental U.S. - Greenland is roughly the same size as Africa. - Europe (excluding Russia) is only a bit larger than South America. - Antarctica dwarfs all the continents. In reality:
- Alaska can fit inside the continental U.S. about three times. - Greenland can fit inside Africa about 14 times. - South America nearly doubles Europe's land mass. - Antarctica looks like the second-smallest continent. ^ Excerpt from businessinsider.comThe West Wing show also had a 4 minute segment on this;

Meanwhile, my grandmother gave me an Earth-globe when I was 10. And these days we have Google-Earth, a virtual Earth-globe.
The Gall-Peters projection is no more "reality" than the Mercator projection. Try navigate after it and you'll find out how "real" it is. It's just another mapping projection. The reason we're using mercator so much is that it's actually useful for that crucial purpose which maps are normally used for: Finding our way.
Personally, I find the Gall-Peters projection distinctly racist, as the only justification it has is that the land areas compare correctly. Who are so obsessed with that? What's the point? It has no other point or purpose than ideology.
P.S. The indoctrination here, is of course the West Wing show. Media up to its usual SJW brainwashing.

Foreskins are the enemy of all men and women, and must be lopped off by strange men who should lick the baby penis blood off of the knife, because that's what God wants and needs for you to enter Heaven.

Fun fact: Finland doesn't exist. It's all a lie (((they))) perpetrate to try to convince the dumb masses that there's an idyllic winterland out there.
How do I know this? Well, the global population is approximately 7.6 billion people with a 2% margin of error. 2% of 7.6b is 152 million. The population of "Finland" is allegedly 5.5 million. This means the supposed population of this fictitious country completely disappears inside the margin of error, therefore they don't actually exist. Anyone claiming to know someone from there has been lied to, and anyone claiming to be from there is actually a glow-in-the-dark CIA lizardman.

Truth Well, Germany used to be twice that size, before... y'know, they had a string of "performance issues". (But hey, it happens more times than you'd think, especially when a nation or empire gets to a certain age)
