Flat Earth conspiracy theories have run rampant in recent years, despite fairly conclusive proof that our planet is shaped like an orb

"So we have to get ahead of the problem and gaslight the people further."

Which is hilarious because for the last few years they've been constantly trying to push the 'flat earth is a psyop' narrative even as it kept gaining popularity. Just more of their usual gaslighting, making sure to label it a conspiracy as loud and as often as possible.

children need ba'al earths in their classroom to be reminded of the lie daily!

Part of the gaslighting is them mis-characterizing flat earth beliefs (i.e. 'disk-shaped') to troll flatters into seeing them as part of the conspiracy. Also attacking Christians with the flatter slur.

this particular theory has a history that is notably intertwined with religious fundamentalism (its been referred to as a form of “extreme Biblical-literalist theology”)

'Professor Dave Explains' is the Satan-who-can't-be-refuted to the flatters. His challenges to flatters are just too challenging. Him being such a reddit douche must make it extra painful.

('Debating' with Professor Dave) It's just like playing chess with a pigeon (like big_fag_dungus), It’ll just knock over the pieces, shit on the board, and strut about like it’s won anyway.

Witsit Getsit has some nice breakdowns of Dave's theatrics, non-answers and complete lack of understanding of 'his own' model. It's definitely cringe-worthy.

His '10 challenges for flat earthers', for example, ask for explanations for observable phenomenon like seasons, night and day, the moon, that would work on a flat earth.

So far, no flatter has been willing to do so.

I watched the 'schooling globers' video by that guy and it was nothing but fluff. Zero theories or explanations for how a flat earth could be possible.

Then you haven't watched Witsit's videos, for sure.

It's okay to say you didn't understand something, but to say that there were no explanations for how these things are is completely disingenuous and factually wrong.

As per usual, people (you) believe what they want to believe.

Just graphics claiming to 'school globers', and lame music. I guess consider me schooled.

The Earth is an oblate spheroid.

Anyhow this bullshit is just to conflate strawman arguments, with suspicious activities and probable crimes.

Like Epstein just happened to die when all the cameras malfunctioned, didn't his prior cellmate get released after? It'd be pretty easy for that guy to have killed him since his DNA would be in the cell.

Jews run reality TV, want to spread the message

Didn't see it coming because it was on the other side of the horizon.

The question has always been who's plant they and why

You can't see things coming half the time on a globe earth.

No excuse for flat-earthers to not see something coming.
