A group of popular flat earth YouTubers have admitted defeat against the ‘globers’ after taking a trip to Antarctica to witness the 24-hour sun.
…
“What does that mean? You guys are going to have to figure that out yourself. Don’t listen to my beliefs or my opinion, it shouldn’t matter to you. But at least you should be able to accept that the sun does exactly what these guys said as far as [it] circles the southern continent. I realise that I’ll be called a shill for just saying that, and you know what, if you’re a shill for being honest, so be it. I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun, I honestly now believe there is.”
Austin Whitsitt from Witsit Gets It conceded to viewers “we were wrong” about the 24-hour sun, but said he was still open to the earth being flat.
“Defeat” didn’t last long. I guess the grift must continue somehow. 
What I never understood is what the point of all the world’s governments lying about the shape of the Earth? Who benefits from tricking people into thinking the world is round vs flat?
It’s to promote atheism. The flat earth would be proof we live in a divine fishbowl.
Without looking into it at all, I can almost promise you it’s “the jews”
Yeah, it’s “the jews have set up a Truman Show style trap for humanity and are covering it up”.
All conspiracy theories will eventually turn into antisemitism. Flat earthers got there immediately. It’s one of the first reasons they give in that documentary, Behind the Curve. The film crew goes to a convention and there’s multiple groups there blaming jews.
keep people from venturing beyond the ice wall, or understanding that Heaven is literally just up, beyond the firmament
Modern flat earth is a CIA psychological operation. No one gave a shit before 2016ish and then it became a thing (Obama himself mentioned it as something ridiculous). That’s about when google started censoring by prioritizing MSM websites.
What does the CIA get out of convincing a bunch of weirdos that the Earth is flat?
Wacky conspiracy theories make people who believe in more likely conspiracies look stupid.
Its a dry run. They can practice propaganda techniques “harmlessly” by cultivating stupid shit like flat earth, so they can then apply that experience later when they wanna incite some pogroms or foul an election.
they would also much prefer someone is putting a bunch of energy into bs like this than, you know, communism
Someone got bored and wanted to have a laugh, someone probably lost an office bet.

*I guess I can’t figure out how to make the quote feature work
My personal conspiracy theory is that the whole flat earth “movement” was entirely manufactured by feds to serve as an example of how much manipulative power they have over the public. 10 years ago you could laugh at flat earthers in spaces where now it’s suddenly treated as if it’s a legitimate belief.
i think you can still laugh at them. i mean shit, might as well say all of christian fundamentalism is a psyop (which i’m not opposed to)
in most places yes obviously, but in some places people will get mad and downvote you which wouldn’t have happened decade ago
Probably an experiment cooked up by someone in the intelligence community, yeah
Was Dan Olson right that all these dudes moved on to Qanon? What’s it like to be a flat earther who doesn’t believe in far right conspiracy theories?
Had me in the first half
Austin Whitsitt from Witsit Gets It conceded to viewers “we were wrong” about the 24-hour sun, but said he was still open to the earth being flat.
You could blast these dimwits into orbit and they’d still be like “umm nah that’s actually NASA projecting a 3D globe over earth” or some b.s.
lots of them were already saying beforehand that the 24 hour sun in Antarctica was just a big lamp NASA put there lmaooo
Even if literal fucking aliens came to Earth and told them they’re wrong, they’d still accuse the aliens of being part of some globehead conspiracy. That’s probably when the aliens decide Earth isn’t worth it.
smh, fake believers. I would never admit I was wrong.
