    i recommend everyone learn to recognize colonization on a map. it’s a really great skill to have when you’re trying to figure out what the truth is in a heavily propagandized media environment

      Surely it was the local natives who decided it should be called Lake Victoria? They were probably calling it that for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived.

        signs of colonization on a map:

        1. static borders (humans intermingle naturally)
        2. unnatural borders (straight lines)
        3. pockets (as in on population is slowly surrounding and eleminating another population)
        4. as you pointed out, the names of stuff are bonkers
