Elevator pitch on selling flat Earth theory. What are their best arguments?

posted 3 years ago by MrBrrrrrrrrt 3 years ago by MrBrrrrrrrrt +8 / -3

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.

The sun always turns to the right, in a clockwise direction. No matter where you are on earth, or no matter what season of the year.

Yeah, cause we're on a ball spinning away at night and towards at morning. Fuck, did you even pay attention at school?

Venus can be seen in the middle of the night.

WRONG!! You only see it at twilight and mornings, geesh.

During winter in the northern hemisphere.

Uh, yeah OK

Northstar remains stationary (in the same position) throughout the night.

Because it's directly above the north pole. So what?

Footage from amateur high altitude balloons show a level surface.

No they fucking do NOT - 100% false

Water always finds its level, then remain level.

Water on a ball follows the curved surface because gravity pulls from all sides of the ball equally towards the middle. Just like ice on a frozen planet, or the shimmering colors of soap on a bubble.

No empirical and objective proof that we live on anything other then a level and stationary surface exist.

You could not be more wrong. Absolutly low IQ stuff dude. Go research and learn facts, not some fuck wit on YouTube.
