It's off topic. It's not a conspiracy theory or fact.
So laws are your red line? You have complete faith in all laws that are passed? Everywhere?
In many European countries free and open debate of the Holocaust and WW2 in general is banned. By your logic, under those laws, removing such historical revisionist discussion would be completely legitimate censorship, but removing Flat Earth posts would be a gross violation of free speech. Does that make sense to you?
Many Blue and Red Politicians would give their right nut or breast to be able to ban free and open debate of the Holocaust in the US like in EU countries. So don't think that such laws could never happen in America. All it takes is for the internet to be declared some kind of unreal state of existence that is not governable by the US constitution for online discussion to be locked down. But you know what will never be a priority to any such authorities? Banning Flat Earth. Because keeping things around that keep people fucking ignorant and stupid is always preferred by authoritarians.
a derealisation hobby
That's an interesting term
Nothing about hollow earth claims that the earth is flat. This post is only about the claim that the earth is flat, covered by dome etc. that whole crock of madness.
I really don't think it Hollow Earth is Flat Earth territory. A giant hollow within the earth, that once or may still harbor a civilization of some kind, is nether proven nor disproven., unlike Flat earth which is completely disproven. The hollows existence or lack thereof has no fundamental reality changing bearing on the the shape of the external earth of which we are already well aware.
Likewise the lesser known theory about the expanding earth, a theory that is supported by a lot of evidence and actually explains geological observations far better than the current favored theory of plate tectonics, does not contradict the observable reality of the shape of the earth in any way.
No, I've never burnt a book, and yes, I will certainly help you out any time you are having trouble discerning reality from fantasy, if you want such help. I know it can be tricky. Ping me if you are unsure.
Do you smoke a lot of cannabis?
No idea, sounds interesting though

So you want me to remove all low quality posts? Is that what you're saying?
When the idea is to find truth, removing the ability to speak on a certain topic is counterintuitive.
lies are told through speech. Not all speech is conducive to truth. some actively seeks to guide you away from truth. FE is a perfect example of this. You are defending th ability of people to come on here and try and stifle truth and mislead people.
why do you have such an extreme reaction to flat earth
It's a complete lie. There has not merit whatsoever. it's not a conspiracy theory or fact. It's mind rot, metal illness. Read the rest of the thread for many other examples of why it doesn't belong here. Your passionate defense of free speech is very nice and all but completely misplaced. What you are defending in this instance is a group of peoples ability to only tell lies and mislead others and waste their time and energy. there is zero truth down the FE road. I may actually save some people from loosing their minds by stifling this bullshit.
No and no. This is No Flat Earth only. Please read some of the other discussion in thread.
The shape of the earth is extremely well established beyond a shadow of a doubt through many independent sources over hundreds of years, not handed down from any single authority. If there is a giant hole somewhere into a giant hollow inside with a small sun in there, that has so far gone undiscovered / rediscovered, so be it. That would have no bearing on the overall external general shape of the planet. There is no need for any authority or group to ever to say that there is an "official" shape of the earth . There is just the shape of the earth.
I asked the simple question first. Waiting for him to provide the source.
Before we get into that, let's see the comment. How long did you spend scrolling for it when you saw it? it can't be that far back, since I haven't been commenting a lot lately except for the FE post. You could also search my user name and some of the words you remember from the comment. Come on now, where are your excellent research skillz gone?
I've just been looking at that, thanks. I had some YAML code in the filter before and I wasn't sure if was working or not. But now I see my syntax may have been off. I'll experiment.
Do you ever engage in debate with FE? FE threads are not a free debate of Ideas. They are a toxic mess that degrades this forum.
Many in thread are taking a single blanket stance against censorship of any kind that is unrealistic, unworkable, impractical. Everyone says they believe in it, but no one really does. You may proclaim you are against censoring things, but actually there is plenty that you want censored, and expect to be censored in society and on the internet.
what good would it do to corral the people who believe otherwise in one place?
The same good that (for society) that's achieved by locking up criminals or the criminally insane in one place. Or by removing CRT from schools and the work place and putting it in it's own CRT box where people can go and see it if they want, but no one else is forced to sit through it or even come across it randomly and be tempted into engaging with it. Any attention encourages FE, positive or negative.
OK Doc, I nominate you to debate with Flat earthers. Any thread I see I'm pinging you into.
Most FE posters are selecting their stuff from repositories of nonsense created over years by a few prolific FE content creators, the ones who come up with the "proofs". What you describe above is more like someone making up an original claim that is demonstrated to be untrue quite quickly. It would not stand up to much scrutiny, and they probably would not have endless supply of back up "proofs" to spout in gish-gallop arguments like FE people do. If they keep spamming the same comment over and over again and ignoring discussion of the comment it would be reported as spam and removed.

i can search for it
Please do and link it here. Before we go any further.
You think the earth is flat bro.
I'm with him up until he brings up The Electric Rainbow Book and says that Wuhan was the first city blanketed with 5G.
I tried reading that book and stopped reading it, it seemed to make a lot of claims it was not substantiating. Some claims it made are substantiated in other places I've read, such as what he says about The Spanish Flu experiments. But the author's more original contributions about electric illness didn't seem well substantiated within the book. I will have to go back and look again, I always meant to give it another chance, but moved on.
As to the Wuhan being first city to be blanketed by 5G thing. Is it true? I don't know that it is. And if it was true - there was no big outbreak of illness in Wuhan. There were a few people who suffered from severe pneumonia in a city with poor air quality. And then there was the propaganda videos. In the end though, Wuhan never had the big spike in illness and death. Why not, if it was the first city to be blaneketd in 5G and 5G causes pneumonia?
Cowan doesn't bring up how many (all?) of the people we are told that died from "Covid" actually died from the crazy treatments they were given to try and fight a fake novel "virus". No one was given known, effective treatments because doctors were told from the start that the usual treatments for pneumonia (covid is pnemonia BTW) would not work because they only work for pneumonia casued by known viruses, not this new virus. So they were given some of the most toxic experimental cocktails of antibiotics and other strong drugs ever given, often in over dose amounts, placed on respirators that have a tiny long term survival rate etc etc.
Why doesn't Doctor Cowan mention how perhaps a vast majority of the people we are told died from covid were actually murdered by their doctors?
I don't know how to make auto mod bots. Are there any functioning on this website so far you know of?
It's more than just my opinion. It's a statement of fact.
