I tell ya what, this whole flat earth movement is about the dumbest crap I've heard in a long time. An old Marine Corps buddy and his son have bought into the theory hook, line, and sinker, and he's been trying to convince me it's true. I just don't get it, with all the proof, how can someone be so stupid as to actually believe that bs????? I've personally seen the curvature of the earth, and he's trying to tell me that it was distortion and was actually flat....WTF????? According to him, and from what I understand, the absolute "proof", is that Antartica doesn't really exist because they can't find any global mapping of it, and it's actually an ice "wall" around the edge of the earth......Not sure what drugs he's on but I tell ya, they must be good ones!!!! Also says because it's a no fly zone the govt is hiding the fact the earth is flat! It's a no fly zone because of navigational and temperature issues. Compasses will spin because of the magnetic south pole, and it's cold enough to actually freeze jet fuel. Plus no place to safely land in event of an emergency....but the earth is flat....GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

This is almost as bad as saying liberals are not insane......

If the earth is flat, then certainly many people have come to see the end of the earth somehow and can tell us about it? I'm sure they have an explanation for that.

The majority of conspiracy theories are consumed by sheep, in their living rooms on the evening news.

The rabbit hole is deep on this one, indeed.

My mom worked at Cape Canaveral during the Apollo missions, I was born in Rockledge. There's nothing wrong with people asking questions.

I have watched some videos on their claims.....wow......no appreciation for how small we are and how big the earth is........that is a hell of a scam sending probes to Mars just to really reinforce the conspiracy. They have an anti moon theory to explain lunar eclipses.....that's my favorite. Or maybe the stars being 3100 miles up.

It's a cult.....they feel special because they feel they alone have the "truth".

Hope he snaps out of it.

More likely it is counter intelligence from official sources, same as Q anon. Anything that makes it to mainstream media, is the first clue.

You'd have to trace it back to who first uttered the idea.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Ecchh. Whether we like it or not, Biden DID win, he IS our president, the election was NOT stolen (Trump threw it away), and the earth is NOT flat! There is life beyond politics.
