Are those flat earthers?

I still haven't figured out if they genuinely believe the claims they make or if it's all just an act.

The flat? The earth? Or the question? Does the flatness ever expand?

Both. It's basically a religion.

You have the people in power, controlling the narrative. ie the self professed science experts (grifters) who know it's bullshit, as the pastors/preachers.

Then you have idiots desperate enough for community to believe/pay anything, who failed earth science in k-12

They're trolls as far as I'm concerned and should never be taken seriously, we have 3 major space industries employing 100s of thousands, then there's all the other space industries globally, yeah I'm sure those millions of people are keeping flat earth a secret🤦‍♀️

Flat earthers, also known as flerfs, are easy prey for Russian trolls. The object of hybrid warfare is to destroy the enemy's institutions from within. Science is a revered Western institution.

I know what they are, a waste of oxygen.

Unfortunately, they tend to vote for fascists as disdain for intellectualism, expertise, science, and the arts is a defining trait of fascism.

I spoke to one earnestly, I said “let’s say I just believe you. Let’s say I’m a flat earther now, and I believe all this, what have we gained, what have we proven?” they said “it’s proof god is real” so. They cray cray lol.

Most flerfs are straight out science deniers. Some are grifters.
