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?!?"

[-] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 week ago

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.

Well at least it has New Zealand

As a colorblind person, I just see three different colored countries

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 11 points 1 week ago

nooooo the media in the west cares about when something happens in the west, sooo terrible

[-] fireweed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

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.

Correlates with media empire ownership.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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!

Elon isn't enough to sway the stats, even with his personal social network.

[-] remon@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Literally do not care.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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. 🥴

[-] brianary@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

That, and Troy McClure's house. 😄

Is it bad that I love this and unironically want one? I bet it would be easier to parallel park than my Jeep.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

It's like a blimp on wheels.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago

...handles about as well as a blimp, too...

[-] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Its like a cucumber submarine

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Need a green dot on notreal

[-] torch_and_blanket@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

I feel the yellow spreading like a plague.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

OP has never heard of Apartheid and how it impacted US Politics.

[-] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

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."

Iceland yes,

But Greenland, no?

[-] bestagon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Iceland is white, greenland is inuit
