The Brandt Line is “a way of visualising the world that highlights the disparities and inequalities between the wealthy North and the poorer Global South"
Ah yes, Australia and New Zealand those northern hemisphere countries.
I do know the line is an abstract but it is always funny.
It's a shit abstract and I'm glad others are pointing it out! Let them say what they really mean: "lands blessed with plentiful melanin", because we all know deep down that "Global South" is really a euphemism for "those poor brown foreigners we didn't manage to fully culturally destroy with colonialism".
I mean Turkey, India, and China, really. Countries entirely contained in the Northern hemisphere. Tunisia. come on. But no, not Japan! That is clearly further north than Mongolia, right? If you tilt your head a little to the side...
