The Mercator is a propaganda campaign to make Christian countries look big and powerful. Ask yourself why is it only “Christian” countries that are distorted.
Maps were used for navigation, which meant angles needed to be preserved. Christian nations colonised a lot, meaning they needed to have maps for navigation a lot too.
This isn’t some weird propaganda campaign, that makes no sense. Try making an angle-preserving map that doesn’t wildly distort the north and south of the world.
Besides, not sure how Christian the icy wastes of Greenland and Antarctica are.

I know right! It’s all done to further Antarctica’s hegemony! Just look how huge it seems!
/uj If you want no distortions, get a globe.
But what about Latin America and Christians parts of Africa
Those are inferior skin colors so they’re excluded.
I added to the original comment but I’m trolling lol
