USA voted against the ENTIRE WORLD, opposing equal representation of Africa

The United States votes against the entire world in a United Nations General Assembly resolution that called for the UN to adopt a more accurate Equal Earth world map, replacing the colonial-era Mercator projection (of year 1569), which distorts the size of the West, making it look much larger, while Africa appears small. Ben Norton explains how the US empire opposes decolonization and is trying to revive colonialism.
