They also act as though Africa is one big unified country when it's actually the exact opposite. Most of these people don't realize it's a continent with lots of countries and ethnic/racial groups who all pretty much hate each other.

Africa bigger?


So there is room for all of them to go back and have 40 acres and a mule?

More room for inventions since they are the reason western culture exist?

Sounds like a great way to pull up Africa. Start today. Delta çan handle the southeast.

Agree. The Earth is much more triangular shaped.

Is anyone else seeing, on social media, this push to make Africa bigger?


Well everything in Africa is typically bigger…

Bigger animals, bigger crisis, bigger epidemics, bigger currencies due to inflation, big dictators and warlords, bigger male appendages, etc.

No they are not. At least the ones that can count and see Africa already has more than 30 countries in it.

The only thing flat earthers have to fear is sphere itself.

Not a bad thing to have in one's portfolio, especially if you use funds or ETFs to facilitate this.

Didn’t read the article but are they trying to say the earth is flat?


Cartographers have always struggled to accurately represent a spherical Earth on a flat map. Size and distance are consistently distorted in the various projections that they have come up with.

To say that there was ever any intent to decrease the size or magnitude of Africa is just ignorant, but it’s also exactly what you would expect from the people behind this.

Doesn’t matter. Size on a map don’t mean shite. Maps aren’t causing AIDS and genocide
