All I know about the subject is it's something that would be absurdly expensive to keep secret, much of our current technology revolves around it, and I have personally been around the world travelling in a roughly straight line.

People who believe in FE bring up whataboutisms and finger point to theories full of mental gymnastics. The glowies will bring up entire essays and claim that because nobody can be bothered to write a response to their hours of rants means they have a point just to exhaust us, all for a conspiracy that has no stakes. I mean ffs at least the lizard people conspiracy is about exposing a conglomerate of aliens that secretly control our fate. WTF are the stakes for the earth being flat? Why is it supposedly worth building sky projectors and hiring an elite military to patrol anarctica, as well as making sure every pilot and astronaut on earth stays in line? What is the benefit?

This is why FEs are treated with scorn and called names. It's a retarded conspiracy that wastes everyone's time, and poisons legit conspiracy forums with obvious bullshit that turns visitors away.
