Comment on Global south and global north - west eurasia, central eurasia, east eurasia, and southern eurasia/africa/malay archipelago-oceania

when you realize the globe is just a giant puzzle and the Greeks were like “let’s divide this into 4” 💀🌍 like western europe to the west and northern central eurasia to the east 😱 but wait southern eurasia/africa/malay archipelago-oceania is just chilling below the 36th parallel 🤔💭

so basically if you’re south of that line you can’t even touch western or eastern eurasia 🙅‍♂️ only central eurasia gets to play in that sandbox 🏖️ and like how do we even figure out what’s “west” or “east”? just check if it’s north of the 37th parallel and if it vibes with the north pacific sea or north atlantic sea 🔥🌊

like fr look at Hokkaido and Sakhalin flexing their Ainuic lands while France is out here sipping wine 🍷 and Norway is just vibing in Scandinavia 🇳🇴 but poor Sweden, Italy, and Korea are stuck being peninsular nations 🤡

and why the north pacific sea? because that’s where globalization started in Britain back in the 1760s 💼📈 it’s a whole history lesson but let’s not get lost in the sauce 🥴 just know that industrialization spread like wildfire 🔥 from Britannia to France to Japan and Russia 💥

but hold up, the 36th parallel is kinda blurry 👀 like Iberia is trying to sneak into the global south but nah fam it shifts everything 🤷‍♂️ same with Korea—if it crosses that line we gotta rethink central eurasia and suddenly Italy is in the mix too 😳

and let’s not forget about Honshu being all island vibes 🌴 like half of it is below the 36th parallel but we can’t let it mess up our geography game 🎮 so it stays in southern eurasia/africa/malay archipelago-oceania ✨

you can’t deny that all these nations north of 36th and vibing with those seas (Russia, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Korea, Germany, Japan, Norway) are like major players in history 🏆 they were all about that intercontinental colonialism during globalization 💰🌍 now Russia’s out here trying to shake things up with its eurasianism while China’s joining the party 🎉

geography is literally the meta for dividing humans into groups 🤯 so next time you think about continents just remember it’s all a wild ride 🌪️ #BrainRot #GeographyVibes #MoggingTheMap
