I'm open to the craziest of shit, I've posted most of it in this thread. However, I am defensive of this subject because it's the topic that single-handedly does the most damage to real conspiracy theories (real, as in those that existed before conspiracy theories become political slop ideas hopped on by nigger-worshipping normiecattle).It certainly seems to be the most divisive topic this thread has seen to date, with the "Old World" or "Tartaria" in a solid second place. The topic of landing on the Moon, I would suggest, likely places third..and I only place it behind the "Old World" because I recall far more overall (and relatively speaking) respectful discussion going on the last couple times Moon shenanigans came up.
It's fascinating seeing where lines in the sand appear for even those who are otherwise open-minded compared to most of the public. Where the intellectual outrage kicks in, insults get dusted off and hurled around, etc.
Also, the 'evidence' put forward by flat earthers is just factually incorrect. No-one in antiquity or history ever thought the Earth was flat. None. No one. The idea that 'hur dur we fly in a straight line because of a map' is retarded. Of course we fly in a straight line on a map, it's because a globe is a 3d object and a map is 2d.
The idea that "the other side of Antarctica" (Admiral Byrd) means there's an ice wall, is a misinterpretation of what is common parlance "I'm off to the other side of the field/town/country".
No evidence I've seen is evidence of a flat earth and is instead more evidence that something dodgy is going on in/around space.
