@amazingmap Two details:

- All these countries are Germanic except Finland

- Estonia, non Germanic, does not have that flag

[aLERNO (moving to BlueSky alterglobus.bsky.social) @alterglobus]

@TheGlobal_Index Woefully inaccurate.

Philippines, Flores, Western Sahara all missing.

Some parts of present north-western Brasil were once part of Spanish Viceroyalties.

By contrast Lombardy, Piemont, Veneto, northern Italy were never controlled by Spain.

@amazingmap One good thing Fascism did was almost completely eradicate organised crime.

Then the yanks had the brilliant idea to revive it. As brilliant as their idea to revive islamism which by mid XX century was almost defunct.

So many blessings these geniuses keep awarding us.

@amazingmap What do the colours mean?

[aLERNO (moving to BlueSky alterglobus.bsky.social) @alterglobus]

@amazingmap So Italian and Portuguese are "white" but Spanish isn't .

[aLERNO (moving to BlueSky alterglobus.bsky.social) @alterglobus]

@amazingmap What about Visigoth Spain?

[aLERNO (moving to BlueSky alterglobus.bsky.social) @alterglobus]

@amazingmap I'm soooo very glad I don't know most of them.

Probably most of them are rubbish commercial "musical entertainment" rather than artists.

Nevertheless I am sure many less known artists live and die with little notice.

@amazingmap Any reason why you don't rather highlight Africa (which is far more surprising)?

[aLERNO (moving to BlueSky alterglobus.bsky.social) @alterglobus]

@amazingmap And yet it still is better, more democratic than the US.

In the US people vote for a candidate yet the system gives another ("electoral vote"), yet Western pundits focus in tiny imperfections in Latin America, Indonesia or South Africa.

@amazingmap Yeah, but the map should specify which organisation since "Mafia" is only one of three different large ones and a few other minor ones.

What an utterly ridiculous thing to say coming from the most warlike country in history about the least warlike country in history.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The people have asked, who am I to deny them.
Spain, which has 36% less GDP per capita than the US, has a life expectancy that is 5 years longer. And Spain's advantage in terms of healthy longevity is even greater.
