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.
they dont truly believe it. they are trolls that see how far they can push it before people get mad/call them out. if people get really mad at them? they actually get off on it BIG TIME. they are mentally not well.
if they get called out by facts? they dont have anything to come back with. and the stfu right then and there. its a game to them. they want to see how much they can get away with
I had assumed most of them were trolls but I can't help but feel they've scooped up some, less intelligent individuals along the way. Some of them go to pretty elaborate lengths with their experiments etc.
