So I was discussing general conspiracy theories with someone and the subject of flat Earth came up. I'm not very knowledgeable on this so I didn't do a great job explaining why someone would think the Earth is flat.
Can anyone give me the main reason why flat Earthers believe what they believe? I gather it's an elite/resources thing to restrict the plebs from some amazing hidden area that is off limits. Something to do with Antarctica?
What are the top 5 reasons people can justify this claim with that haven't already been debunked? I tried to have a look myself but there is a whole lot of crazy out there on this subject.
Flat earth is an interesting one, because they do bring up some valid points and certain aspects of flat earth just can't be proven or disproven because to do so would need to travel into space and acrully see for yourself. According to the powers that be We have done this but we've also been lied to about damn near everthing so who even knows. Plus the moon landing being fake as fuck does lend credibility to some theories. My biggest deal with it all is that there are no models that have been agreed on. If your gonna say space is fake, I'll listen but come with compelling evidence. The flat earth community has no good models of how a flat earth would work and also don't have an explanations for things like comets or asteroids or eclipses.
Space travel doesn't exist. You are already disqualified from intelligent and/or scientific discussion, because you didn't figure this out on your own.
come on bra, its a hard hurdle to get past
True. Sorry.
