The longest straight line over land is this great circle (see NeatNit’s comment here if the link isn’t working for you, sorry about that). But, of course, most great circles don’t look very straight on most maps. To correct for this, I (very roughly) got the northernmost point of the great circle and put that value into G.Projector to get an oblique equirectangular projection that treats the great circle as if it were the equator on a regular map
The base map is Wikimedia Commons’ equirectangular projection map

Some quotes from him in here

In particular this bit which is just straight out of the Great Replacement Theory playbook “Think about it. Either there would be civil war, or the British culture and values that we hold so dear; freedom of speech, fairness, justice along with all the other stuff we cherish; our music, sense of humor, pubs, Christmas, etc would eventually disappear and be replaced with other ideals”
Oh wow, I had no idea…. Unsub from me as well, thanks for the info!
