Maps and Misinformation
Sorry, not news or updates, but also not worth creating a thread.
I've been seeing lots of maps on Lemmy (mostly in French-speaking communities communities). A number of them look like this:
standard conflict maps
And then I've seen others that look like this (usually labelled as "fact" or "reality"):
alternative versions
With the exception of an amazing 3-day event that took place in my school (we had some history professors/researchers come in over 3 days and present us arguments from both sides, then moderate a debate...) I received no education about this, and even if I had it would have been about 20 years ago or more.
I suspect we have all seen a version of this map before. I can read the Wikipedia, and watch the documentaries, but where should I look to be able to come to a decision on my own regarding these maps? Meaning, is one of them more factual than the other?
