yeah it was started for that reason, there are actual real people that aren't shills that do believe it though. I have a irl friend that does... I tried to talk sense into him, but he wasn't buying it.. some people have a hard time with actual logic.
Personally I find Flat Earth theories very interesting and I don't instantly dismiss it solely due to being raised through a state enforced educational system.
It is very interesting. Any real thinker who values the actual scientific method rather than blindly submitting to authority is going to find it very fascinating even if they don’t necessarily agree. This is one way you can tell it’s deliberately censored, because there are so many shills out there just to put it down or make sure the front page contains only benign crap that’s not even interesting.
The fact that it was getting hit pieces in the mainstream media is what really sparked my interest. They went out of their way to 'debunk' flat earth, just like they did with pizzagate.
Same here. I was not receptive to Flat Earth even after figuring out Apollo was fake. One thing that made me decide there may be something to it is the vitriol and total dismissal of the topic. Even if you don’t believe in it, it’s fascinating, worthy of discussion, and provides a worthwhile thought experiment. But you never see it promoted even on conspiracy forums.
I also realized that faking the moon landings just to look cool was a wholly insufficient reason to do it, let alone to keep the lie alive for so long. If there weren’t a bigger lie being concealed, they could eventually admit it was fake and go there for real to make amends. But they can’t go there, ever.
