Needs a box that says “Flerfers” off to the side
I will never click a link of yours. Ever. You are mentally ill.
Ban this fucking faggot while you’re at it, he hasn’t positively contributed once to any board on this entire site despite never shutting the fuck up
OP has made a grand total of 2 posts to this community in 3 years.
This topic is not organic.
600 comments in the vote thread and none of the “Nay”s have even attempted to lay out the case for their “beliefs”. The furthest they get is “censorship bad”, even though they almost certainly support censorship for they things they are capable of identifying as forum siding/bad
Elvis might be willing to help, he’s had to deal with a lot of trash over at ConPro (including some insane shilling) - and they somewhat recently just outright banned flat earth as well
I sent a link on the topic to the mod message line yesterday - this site uses YAML for the “Community Filter” thing which can be used for simple auto mod shit (removing any post which has the words “the savior” for example)
Before this his last post was 6 months ago lmfao... they’re really dragging these accounts out of the woodwork
Only a fucking RETARD would try to conflate all those things you raised with “Flat Earthism”.
None of the things you raise are relevant. The age of the earth, evolution, the truth of human history, etc etc.
NONE OF THESE DEPEND ON FLAT EARTH
YOUR ATTEMPT TO CONFLATE THEM INDICATES YOU ARE EITHER A SHILL OR SO FUCKING STUPID IM SURPRISED YOU DON’T CHOKE ON YOUR OWN DROOL
Uh huh... I can’t think critically.
But space, gravity, the sun and moon, and many other things are all FAKE and also part of a 12,000 year old conspiracy to trick humans...and achieve WHAT again?
it was a simple question. Your inability to answer it fits with your belief in retarded bullshit that you can’t back up
MILLIONS?!?!? (Of retards?) - are you boosted?
Lots of people got boosted.
BILLIONS OF EM!!!
Should we let them take over the forum?
You’re a shill with an iq of 65
The lack of self awareness you demonstrate would be laughable if it weren’t for the horrific state of society it indicates
That’s even worse - you don’t believe in anything except negation
And just to make the title explicit:
I’m talking about people who proudly ascribe to themselves the label “Flat Earther”
I’m not talking about people humbled by the state of “so-called knowledge” in the modern world. I’m not talking about people who engage in good faith with others over what appear to be differences in interpretation of “the evidence”. There are a handful of people like that across the various .wins, and many of them are excellent contributors with useful voices.
I’m talking about people who are so transfixed and transfigured by what “secret revelation” they think they’ve “uncovered” {read: been spoon-fed by highly questionable entites} that they call anyone who proposes a contrary notion a “HERETIC” working for “THE DARK”
And that’s just for the “true believers”, I haven’t even mentioned the proven most prolific shill on the site, with THOUSANDS of accounts and TENS OF THOUSANDS of forum slide posts, frequently used FE trash in his attacks
I think there really is something to the notion... here’s a post I made a while back, you might be interested in (funnily enough, I didn’t even connect it to FE at the time, but it really is applicable):

I left out a key part of this discussion, the link to the so called “Great Awakening”, which combines all of these aspects into one:
Modern ideologies (such as marxism, libertarianism, MAGAism, etc) have, in reference to the massive success of religious ideologies and their framework, constructed themselves as if they are religions.
What do I mean by this?
An all encompassing nature - religion is so sturdy because it attempts to provide a framework for every interaction between you and the rest of the world. Every person you meet, every word you hear from someone else, every thing you experience, you filter through your “belief framework”. In the past, this was basically limited to morality judgements “is this thing righteous or not?”
So even if your religious book(s) didn’t explicitly mention the scenario you find yourself in, religions offer enough “structure” such that any experience you undergo can be fed to this structure and an answer can be produced.
Modern political ideology has come to understand this, and has constructed itself such that now your political ideology can supplant your religious ideology, as your political ideology now can encompass your religious ideology and all the structure and function it provides (atleast, the political ideologies attempt this, I don’t think they’ve yet succeeded, which imo is why people who solely exercise a political ideology seem so schitzophrenic and unanchored in their beliefs/opinions).
These people are no different than “super fans” who go to “cons” to “LARP”, except the Harry Potter nerds have some slight degree of plausible deniability.
Even if flat earthers fail at proving the earth is flat, they do a good job of exposing NASA as being frauds and proving other lies about space, satellite orbits, etc.
Everyone here loves posts about facts, and things that can be proven, demonstrated, or atleast shown plausible. IMO, the moon landing appears to have been faked, but to go from that (and its associated evidence) to “therefore the earth is flat/space is fake” is just unjustified to me.
The problem with flat earth-ism is that like Q-ism and Scientism it isn’t presented from the context of isolated frauds or proven phenomena, it’s based on an all encompassing worldview which allows the believer to be able to flit from topic to topic without reconciling with what they got wrong or right. In their world nothing can be established as fact - yet paradoxically they’re beyond “convinced” of their beliefs. Atleast the ones I’m talking about when I vote yay. A handful of the best users on this site either have been convinced or lean strongly towards it. I’m not talking about those genuine, good faith users, I’m talking about the proven most prolific shill on the site, with THOUSANDS of accounts, having flat earth shit be one of his go to slide and manipulation topics
Imagine if this board became an extension of the Q psyop - flat earth is similar in the sense that it isn’t “just another conspiracy” where people debate facts back and forth, it’s instead more like a religion (just like Q worship). You can spend hours explaining the semi-complex information required to explain whatever phenomena is mystifying them in that post - but like jelly they slip through the fingers of your rational argument, and just shift the goalposts to some other phenomena they’re baffled by, which again requires multiple hours of in depth explanation. Usually, only to revert to their original stances the next morning, as if they didn’t have the first memory about the previous days conversation.
In 95% of cases it’s not argued in good faith, even if the person arguing it isn’t literally a bot or shill
Does that make you a communist?
Contribute to the discussion (or continue not to lol). You’re a big reason this post is being made (I’m sure)
Check the logs dude. Check c/meta...
The “savior” posts and the Amazon deals posts are removed as soon as a mod sees them. Many users have pointed out the Amazon spammer(s) to the site admins. Those are, unquestionably, slide posts.
Many of us think that just posting “100 proofs the world is flat” videos and doing zero work to actually explain your thoughts or their relevance is, similarly, a slide tactic. Unfortunately it’s such an effective slide tactic that otherwise “well-meaning” individuals can get tricked into being useful idiots and supporting it. Much like how homosexuals are treated by the mainstream with “well it’s not obvious to me that they’re hurting anyone, so WHO CARES!”
There are also proven shills who frequently post flat earth garbage to slide the forums such as OperationGlownigger - say, do you two know eachother?
We don’t want furries here crying about a “conspiracy to suppress the truth about fursonas” either.
You fucking mongoloid, I posted in this thread before you. Reading responses to my comment is the only reason I saw your faggotry.
YOU 👏 ARE 👏 STUPID 👏 AND 👏 ALSO 👏 MENTALLY 👏 ILL 👏
