The Flat Earth Conspiracy

I've always been fascinated by the flat Earth conspiracy in particular.
As opposed to the conspiracy theories like chemtrails, UFOs or floridated water, where the conspirators have something to gain be it control, power or money. It seems like the "They" in flat earth theories don't have any tangible motive.
Like, what could you possibly gain by a mass coordination of government agencies to trick people into thinking the world is round when it wasn't? Do they just think it's funny? Would the social order collapse if people found out you could walk to the actual edge of the Earth? Iasked a flat earth guy in person and he just kept insisting it was a way to keep us weak and ignorant.
Is the lure of getting to 'know' something others don't alone enough to keep a conspiracy theory alive even in the absence of any discernible practical motive or benefit to the supposed other?

supposedly there's something behind the ice sheet they don't want us knowing about, like free real estate

the most common argument i see is that it's supposed to trap humanity in this sort of materialism where "the earth is just a tiny speck of dust in a infinitely large cosmos", as opposed to the "truth" where the earth is at the center of the universe.

>>14216228
The government is hiding something behind the ice walls. I'm sympathetic to flat earth; but I am an agnostic when it comes to round-earth v. flat earth debate. Flat earth is definitely the more common sense view.

>>14216257
the earth IS the center of the universe though

When did flat earth start gaining traction? I read some flat earthers claim it was a common view point in medieval times, but was it really?

>>14215966
What is the impetus behind believing in flat Earth? I get the first impression that it's the illusion of "enlightenment"; like, "I know the real truth". This seems to be intertwined with anti-government/anti-shadow government (conspiracies inside conspiracies) sentiment. Is flat Earth belief just a desire to be different, to hold the truest truth, to feel vindication after a lifetime of personal dismissal? Or is it just retardation? A belief in this must fly in the face of overwhelming evidence, testimony, science, and relies upon mass conspiracy. Is the desire to be unique really so strong?

No, flat earth is supported by fact and empirical observation

bruh, watch the flat earth videos. i doubt there's a single person here (or in the general population) who isn't into physics that can debunk their arguments. it's not that self evident at all if you hold some skepticism against mainstream science.

i guess this thread goes well with the climate change deniers and intelligent design believers on here today. this board is really shit at the moment

>>14216371
cry all you want, faggot. hold your materialistic, unrepeatable, not empirically observable views if it conforts you.

Unironically, The Bible

>>14216228
A good chunk, if not all, flat earthers are fundamentalist Christians who take the bible too seriously. "They" to them is just the government making it ok and allowing satanic gay homosexual agenda post-fema alkalin preventing and force vaxing your children. The flat earthers think that what "they" wish to gain from this cover up is that people/sheeple/goyim don't see da troof (the bible mainly genesis 1).

Is it finally time to leave /lit/ for good? This board is rapidly gaining extra chromosomes.

>>14216504
Don't like truth seekers on your board Shlomo?

>>14216388
do you have a GPS in your car or in your phone? congratulations, you've proved the earth is round.

>>14216529
Just because you seek truth doesn't mean you haven't overlooked it. I think you guys are overzealous.

>>14216533
>Muh GPS
How many times do we have to tell you? NASA scientists have already admitted that GPS doesn't work in Antarctica because the world is flat.

>>14216504
>noooooo don't look into flat earth!!!! don't look for tru- i mean, conspiracies! it's all for retards really don't look there
you got BTFO, retard. eric dubay alone can expose pretty much any astrologer - i mean - astronomer of this earth

>>14216560
>muh antarctica
but does it work where you live anon?

>>14216533
no retard, gps is done by using under the sea cables, dumbass

>>14216566
I don't live on Antarctica

>>14215966
>66%
The remaining 44% are larpers. At least 40% are at least. The remaining 4% who actually do believe it's flat are probably retarded.

kek

I really do wish the flat earth theory was real. The idea of an icewall and then oceans and islands beyond, an endless plane, is just very based.

>>14215966
Read about seismic shadow zones and try to describe them on a flat earth model.

>>14216560
you never looked at the clouds after the sun has set and wondered why the clouds are still illuminated?

>>14216582
It's true. There evidence is mounting. It's already moved past the "first they ignore you stage" to the "next the ridiculed you" stage. They can't disprove our evidence, so they get authority figures and public intellectuals to mock flat earth. Now, we begin the long period of acceptance. The establishment will eventually have to accept flat earth because you can't hide the truth forever.

>>14216599
what about instead of using "models" and other nonsensical trash, just use your fuckin eyes, retard? yeah, common sense, you abssolute idiot. look at the fucking horizon, it's right there, it's flat, it's all it needs to tell you, and you still manage to fuck it up. or better yet, grab a go pro and use baloons to go up really high in the skin, i'm talking above aeroplane high, and see no curvature, retard. now do that and tell me if you still believe in retarded "models" lmfao, dumbass

Considering that earth being flat would be a very good argument for existence of God, why don't religions finance a trip to the edge or something like that which would prove it once and for all?

>>14216627
it's really scary there, you can fall into the abyss if you climb the ice walls

It is just retarded boomer american fundamental christians misunderstanding the bible and hating obama

I got BTFO without any proof of having been so. But you guys are used to not needing evidence to prove your beliefs, so what's new?
And why do flat Earthers always resort to namecalling? It doesn't legitimise your argument.

>>14216649
LOL. You're saying we have weak arguments, but your top arguments are appealing to the supposed scientific consensus and muh pictures of earth.

>>14215966
>flat earth
Wrong. Doesn't explain the nature of Antarctica or the evidence supporting hollow Earth. See pic related for a more robust theory.

>>14216649
bruh, you're the one who needs arguments. all globetards can say is "newton this", "eistein that", "gravity this", "nasa that", anyway it's all stupidity, and mere belief in fake cgi LOL

>>14216668
Why can't you just talk like a normal person instead of putting words in my mouth. Using "muh" to refer to something you disagree with predisposes a reader to a biased interpretation, instead of relying on evidence and logic to disprove a contrary position. It's the coward's way out. You don't need evidence if you don't need to put any effort in.
Also, you are projecting your own fears and biases onto me. Read the thread: I never mentioned scientific consensus or pictures of Earth.

unbelievable that there are actually spherecucks on this board. this is literally the best argument they can muster. a chinese cartoon character

>>14216697
Again, you are projecting. I never said any of this. Is this all you have to fall back on?

>>14216720
I've already disproven globe earth. I don't debate globers anymore because all of your arguments are Incorrect.

>>14216757
How did you prove it?

The typical flat Earther. C'mon everyone, tell us how you FEEL. Let it all out.

>>14216627
all major religious institutions were infiltrated by masons/jesuits/kikes forever ago, they'd either be in on it or anyway not interested in the truth. Also the Christian church has always taught ball earth.

The flat earth movement is perpetrated by individuals of average intelligence taking advantage of the skepticism (haphazard analysis) of lower intelligence individuals. Mostly it appeals to beliefs, like Christianity in the states, but there is many other versions designed for any variant of the bugger.

>>14216695
I can appreciate this one, but for me it's hollow earth.
