I feel the yellow spreading like a plague.
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.
Iceland yes,
But Greenland, no?
Iceland is white, greenland is inuit
Literally the same if you swap it.
Need a green dot on notreal
As long as it's the correct color green.
WTF is this shit?
As a colorblind person, I just see three different colored countries
Well at least it has New Zealand
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."
nooooo the media in the west cares about when something happens in the west, sooo terrible
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.
i don't know any songs about the tohoku earthquake
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.
That's funny. As someone from South of the US, I don't remember ever reading USian news articles and thinking, jee, this made my day!
Correlates with media empire ownership.
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. 🥴
Is it bad that I love this and unironically want one? I bet it would be easier to parallel park than my Jeep.
It's like a blimp on wheels.
Its like a cucumber submarine
...handles about as well as a blimp, too...
That, and Troy McClure's house. 😄
What about South Africa?
South africa has africa in its name, so its a third world country and nothing important is there.
spoiler
/s in case its needed.
Literally do not care.
Elon isn't enough to sway the stats, even with his personal social network.
i remember when fukushima nuclear power plant in japan got wrecked in an earthquake. all they talked about in the states was "are WE going to get polluted by nuclears?!?"
Yeah, I feel like Japan should be green, here.
Maybe. The one thing I can say for sure is that far too much of eastern Europe is coloured green.
Especially the Balkans. Western media doesn’t give two fucks about them.
You need to update this map with the rest of North America in the "A hopeless situation, just pray" or the "Nobody wants to be sad all day" categories.
