Maps with Hidden Agendas

These are a few maps with some alternate meanings (according to me):

This seems like the purple looks like red, giving it a more "Coke"-heavy distribution. In any case, Pepsi is not a common term used according to this map. Could be brand advertising? I personally say Coke, but I definitely like Pepsi better!

This map has the hidden message of "Hey look! Iran can attack you (even though they truly only hate the US), so join our side and rationalize harsh punishments on a nation that may or may not be belligerent!" It's even an Israeli map!!! Israel hates Iran, Iran hates them. Israel needs allies?

If this isn't blatant anti-Chinese sentiment, I don't know what is. This is very obviously an anti-China map trying to show that they're getting too much influence around the world with foreign aid (just like the US did with the Marshall Plan, right?).
OR this is blatant pro-China, look at us we're so nice and helpful! Either way, this map makes sense by itself, outside of the op-ed column.

This is the epitome of the anti-climate change argument. I won't spout opinion here, but I do tell you to look at the column itself here.

The New World Order conspiracy HAD to have started here. While a novel concept at the time, this is blatantly in favor of the US being the sole reason WW2 was won (wrong, Soviets could have done it a few years later after the Battle of Stalingrad) and so, they should take over everything.
What a load of bullocks.

Ah, the propaganda map. The Nazis definitely used this to justify taking Czechoslovakia, even though there is no truth or validity behind these claims.

There, some maps with hidden agendas. I hope you enjoyed your lesson. Remember that not everything on the internet is true - see!!! (the maps, not my blog!)

Here is a link to what different projections are, just so you know.
