Seven Hundred Bee posted:the government That's what most of them believe -- that the Antarctica treaty is proof that the governments of the world are conspiring to keep people away from Antarctica. They think that the government patrols the ice wall and will kill anyone who approaches it. They also think that anyone who claims to cross Antarctica is lying or that they're only crossing a very small outcropping of the ice wall.

There weren't many other avenues for young Christian boys to gain power and upward mobility, but once forcibly conscripted it wad possible for them to work their way up to the highest bureaucratic positions, like grand vizier, or Secretary of State. this is an excellent post, not least because the ways in which it is amazing and/or wrong are kinda subtle

I'm hoping the flat earthers hijack the ship, set a course for one of the poles, then sail off into the ice, never to be heard from again.

If you really pressed them they'd just say ocean magnets or whatever made it so that during the age of sail people were covering distances at wildly different rates from reality to make the trips work, and then since the time it was possible to map truly accurately They have been tricking/forcing seafarers to keep the secret and follow worse routes than they should. They're already talking about an intentionally deceptive fake sky simulation created by angels/aliens/God after all

TulliusCicero posted:Oh god this hosed geography overload is breaking my brain How do you know what routes the ships run? Have you ever personally been on one? Didn't think so globalist  ... Oh you have? Did you personally navigate the entire way and track and time the course instead of relying on what the lying crew told you? Didn't think so globalist  ... Oh you did? What instrument did you use, was it the NASA-controlled GPS?  ... It was a sextant and a marine chronometer? Well uh *googles* oh you looked at the stars and just assumed they're far away because your teacher told you. But they're really only a few miles up, so your navigation was all wrong. You don't really know what route the ship ran.

The other one I've seen is that planes are proof of flat earth, because if it was really a spinning globe, they wouldn't need fuel to fly, they'd just need to take off and wait for their destination to roll around underneath them.

Watch that flat earth convention safari on youtube, it has this one dude peddling homemade waterproof globe models that you are supposed to pour water on to prove that earth isn't round. he pours some water on the thing and watches the reporter's face and then asks him what he is going to do with this newfound information. It's like A+++ grade high quality insanity. Highly recommend

Other than a few mentally ill people anyone that has any sort of actually complex or thought out answer for any question about flat earth stuff is just someone clowning around on you. The real answer is "none of that matters or exists in my sphere of life experience, I don't even know what that is"

There are shitloads of hyper-credulous dimwits. That's why the overlap of "people who believe in flat earth" and "people who believe that vaccines are Evil Government Poison and that fluoride is a mind control drug" is nearly 100%. I guarantee that nearly flat earther believes those things, too.

Her disbelief in evolution included a side thing where like, dog breeding was a scam. That it was just a thing people made up, and they just released new dog breeds slowly to make more money. I think she honestly believed this, I think if you pressed her on it she could probably provide some theories on how it worked. Some mechanics on where and how all these secret dogs were, what group controlled it, I think if you asked her she'd give an answer some "they keep them in a cave" or something, but I don't think any of that mattered to her, the evolution is a lie part was the real part, everything else was just sort of nothing side stuff that she viewed as some triviality. I think if you pressed and pressed you could make her say crazier things about it to justify it or answer questions, but like, all off the cuff, she personally had just not ever thought about it very much. There was just some they somewhere scamming people with dogs that already existed pretending they were new kinds of dogs. I think that is how flat earth stuff is, you can press on stuff and people will give off the cuff answers, but it's not stuff they even think, or have thought about. The people that have super detailed answers to it all are people that are mostly goofing around about it.

These people have a wealthy of faulty information at their fingertips in the form of crazy-person blogs/youtube videos. They can go way deeper watching videos that enforce their confirmation bias and kind of make sense at a surface-level but don't hold up to scientific scrutiny and learn lots of totally incorrect tidbits they can toss out.
