Initially I rolled my eyes at all of your posts.
Curiously, I didn't see people disputing your points... just saying stuff like "it's a sphere and that's just a fact." It seemed like a cop out to make such statements on a conspiracy forum.
Still, the brainwashing was so deeply ingrained that I still ignored what you were posting. I assumed flat earth was just a psyop to discredit actual legit conspiracies.
Then I learned about the moon landing, the Mars missions, the ISS footage, and everything else.
Furthermore, it seemed strange that flat earth was mocked to the same degree as the moon landing was. And the moon landing is a real conspiracy...
So I watched an interview that you posted in one of your threads out of curiosity.
And the guy made some good points.
So I started looking into it more.
Fast forward a couple weeks and I've come to the conclusion that AS WE PERCEIVE IT AS INHABITANTS OF THE PLANET, the earth is undoubtedly flat.
I don't pretend to have the full picture but you've indirectly convinced me.
This is the final red pill, you're right. And it links into esoteric knowledge perfectly.
Like always, the truth is so blatant once you start looking into it that it's borderline insulting.
Thanks for posting.
I think I can take a break from conspiracies for a while after this one.
I think it's because it's a true insult to your intelligence. To have been running around for your entire life thinking you are living on a sphere, when in actuality you've been walking across a flat plane... is somewhat unnerving. This is the only conspiracy that made me really stop in my tracks. I've been genuinely contemplating the fact that I am going to have to live my life knowing that the earth is flat. No other conspiracy has hit me this hard.
Flat earthers are also generally associated with stupid people, which forms a subconscious connection - "I'm not stupid, therefore I won't even consider the fact that the earth might be flat."
For what you mentioned about time travel and such, I think those topics are easier to broach (less resistance) because people usually don't have strong opinions on them one way or another. No one is taught to believe "NO! Time travel IS NOT POSSIBLE!" - in fact, mainstream is full of stuff talking about time travel. Whereas they are certainly taught "NO! The earth is a SPHERE, not FLAT!"
The lack of easily-discernible purpose for the flat earth lie is also a big thing that prevents people from looking into it, I think. "Why would NASA lie?" has a clear answer - money. "Why would people lie about a flat earth?" is harder to answer, and the answer makes the uninitiated roll their eyes.
Lastly, flat earth also has a bunch of supporting lies (e.g. gravity) that need to be untangled before the concept can be fully understood.
