FEers never seem to realize they are wrong. Many times they are actively lying in the things they say, in the arguments they provide to "prove" the earth is flat. Maybe for some it is blind faith, but for the hard core ones who create the fake proofs, they must know they are lying because they actively misrepresent things to fit their flat earth assertion - they adjust distances and elevation numbers to fit, they use the incorrect equations, misquote historical things , assert a thing should be like a certain way without giving a reason why - it happens all the time. It's a psyop being pushed with malicious intent. There are those pushing it, and those that have been taken in by the pushers.
No, if it is discussed as a psy op and not asserted as true that would not be a problem. There would be no need for that discussion though if FE posts are just removed.
No auto mod. I see a FE post asserting in some way that the earth is flat, the post get's removed. Posted repeatedly, user gets temp ban. I see them trying to convince others the earth is flat in comments of other posts, and people wasting their time trying to argue with them, FEer gets a temp ban. Simple clean up job, removing some toxic rubbish that stinks up this forum.
they have their own community where you can go and find out who is stupid. We don't need Fe posts here for that reason. Also they are allowed on youtube, their videos do not get removed. They have a louder voice than many other real and consequential conspiracies. Some conspiracy topics are actually illegal in many countries around the world. FE is not.
FE people are not open to discussion at all. That is another part of the problem. Do you go to their posts and discuss their assertions with them?
Are you saying you want me to remove the shitty low effort posts? Many users do want this. Those posts are reported all the time. I don't remove them because of the free speech thing. It will only be my opinion what is low effort.
My position is FE posts specifically don't deserve that courtesy because those posts are a specifically destructive and toxic obscenity for this community in the long run. It's a specific topic that is always wrong, no matter what angle to come at it from. And they try and insert it into every other topic. It's a cult and FE people are members of that cult trying to convert new people.
lol no. Just FE, because its trash. I don't have it in for any other theory at all. Just FE. It's complete trash. Your mind is literally covered in this stinking shit. You refuse to wash it out, so I want to throw it out from here because it's stinking up the place. This is perfectly reasonable.
All those guys probably said Good Morning to their families every day too.
Like reptilians? they can't be proven or disproven. It's a theory. No one claims them as indisputable, irrefutable, scientific fact that is the ultimate explanation of all conspiracies. They are not even said to be of our world at all.
No one doctors real world physics to insert reptilians.
There is not hundreds of years of human discovery and achievement that completely disproves reptilians - they are not a thing of our physical world at all. It's a non issue, and not comparable to FE. FE is not a conspiracy. It's not even a theory that could remotely be true in anyway. It's not a theory about another dimension - they are talking about the world you live in every day.
"like talking about" something is not the same as "like to falsely assert as irrefutable fact in the face of all logic or reason or observation." like they do when comes to FE.
yes all of them
NAYS seem mostly to be coming from a a "free speech" stand point rather than "FE could be right" stand point. Pity, FE doesn't deserve any such defenses.
I waiting to count, but the people voting NAY are almost entirely doing so from a free speech stand point. They are not voting on whether FE is trash or not. It's a pity they have chosen this interpretation, because it's a weak argument for various reasons I have expounded upon in thread.
They should be honest with themselves and just vote on whether they think FE is trash or not. If they did, it would be mostly yays, except for you FEers and your sock puppets.
That's exactly what it is. Pretty proud of it actually. You're probably jealous you didn't come up with it.
Fe is not an "unapproved" conspiracy. It is simply not a conspiracy. therefore it is off-topic for this forum.
They are not correct. There is zero chance of it. There is no compelling evidence. Only misunderstanding, false assertion, outright lying - perhaps done so creatively or entertainingly, maybe that's what you find compelling - something you don't know the exact answer to is presented with a creative answer that points to FE. That's the usual thing.
However all FE proofs are demonstrably and completely untrue after a little serious research. Usually they are a misrepresentation of the facts, with an FE explanation tacked on. Sometimes the knowledge that shows what they say is untrue is not common knowledge, and might be a little obscure, might involve examining some equations or maps, checking their numbers, or consulting old experiments. Of course, any effort you engage in will be resoundingly dismissed FEers.
And yes, I do want to be the guy who banned them from this conspiracy forum. It's not comparable at all to any other conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy. There is no rhyme or reason, motivation nor evidence, showing why it would be, how it could be, why it is covered up, why "globe earth" was invented, for what purpose, by whom etc etc etc. It is just: "I can't see the curvature of the earth from where I am so it must be flat" - everything after that is spin to justify that false assertion. It is completely without merit and is totally toxic to a conspiracy forum. It will prevent this place from being something more, something better and attracting more users.
People voting yay are not by definition against free speech or pro censorship. This is a vote on whether the topic is complete and utter trash or not. Trash gets taken out. No one wants trash scattered around where they live for fear of infringing on it's rights. You get rid of trash regularly, before it starts to stink, ideally. I'm the trash man.
it so easily argued against and debunked
This is not true, because FE make very many random assertions about every little thing, and say these all point to flat earth. it easy enough to do but takes time to sufficiently and clearly debunk each of their minor nitpicks with reality. And if you spend the time and energy to do so, that could be devoted to better things, and you reply in good faith, hoping to show them the error of their ways, they will simply call you a liar and everything you presented as fake. So it may be easily debunked, but you can't convince them of that, and they persist in their grooming attempts. Successful, irrefutable debunking does nothing to dissuade them in the least. They will declare themselves right regardless of all logic or factual rebuttle.
There is simply no such thing as a high-quality FE post, even from the stand point of defending it as a topic. FE posts are by definition made in complete ignorance and are of extremely low quality. This post, my motion to ban FE, is probably the highest quality FE as a topic discussion post that there has been on this forum.
FE has no basis in fact or reality yet is presented as the ultimate scientific reality. It is a specific topic, with one essential idea, that the earth is flat. It is clear, easily identifiable, unvague, simple to identify.
Antisemitic is a label applied to many different types of comments, people and conspiracies, very liberally. Bankers conspiracy? Antisemitic. Israel conspiracy? Antismeitic. WW2 conspiracy? Antisemitic. Leo Frank, B'nai Birith and the ADL? Antisemtic. The "antisemitic trick" admitted to by that Israeli Minister on Democarcy Now? Antisemitic.
Thanks to such admitted tactics, I consider claims of antisemitism to be almost ungovernable. Too fluid a concept. Too liberally applied. Having said that, if the reported antisemitism contains obscene language or incitement to violence, I will of course remove it.
This is not a red v blue thing. Get outside of that box. People on both sides know FE is retarded. Deeply Religious and Atheists alike know FE is retarded. The only non-FE people who put up this fight for FE people is Free Speech absolutists - yet where is the Free Speech absolutist defense of the spammers, groomers, con-artists, CRT people, etc when they get removed from this website? What about their free speech? FE is toxic to a conspiracy forum, just like a 40 year groomer is cancer to a forum for young children.
Your censorship argument is weak if at the same time you expect or presume obscenity and spam and off-topic posts be removed (censored) from this forum. For me FE is obscene, off-topic and toxic, especially in forums like this.
A Birds are robot post, though I don't remember seeing any here, if reported would be removed as trolling if not posted ironically or as an example of a psyop. It was an elaborate project by some trust fund kid who thought he was very smart, specifically established to troll and ridicule people who research conspiracies. It's not a slippery slope thing. These things specifically are con jobs - they use peoples belief in free speech to attempt to destroy free speech. Getting people to turn their intellectual weapons on themselves.
There is zero chance of FE being proven. It's gone, a dead and disproven notion for literally thousands of years. The resurgence in recent years on the internet is inorganic and displays all the hallmarks of a psyop to destroy conspiracy theorizing
You have a con to sell?
It's not an opinion that the earth is not flat, it is a fact. Stop making ridiculous strawman arguments and wise up.
