He’s got loads of weird takes.

I mean, has be even looked at a mercator projection?
Africa is the centre of the world, not Europe.

See, the mercator projection makes things near the poles ..... 🤔🤔🤔

when they show that scene about the Mercator projection in geography classes they don't understand that it's a commentary on how all map projections are flawed

If he saw Greenland on a Peeters map instead of a Mercator one, things would have been drastically different.

General issue with locating the equator. People look at you blankly when you point out most of Africa is north of it. I've had people think it must run somewhere through peninsular India.
I mostly blame Mercator maps with Antarctica lopped off, but it's racialized too.
