For a long time now I thought the flat earthers were some kind of psy ops experiment. I think "they" whoever "they may be" is trying to figure out how gullible the public is, and how much of the public they can sway on an issue like this. Think about it for a second, if you can convince a seemingly intelligent person the earth is flat, against all scientific fact, and contrary to popular belief. Then you can convince that same person of probably just about anything. I tell you now, it's a conspiracy!
I honestly believe this is how it started, but now the people they convinced are out there convincing others and making the group even larger. Maybe some day whoever started it will come out and prove your hypothesis correct lol
LOL, psy ops grown out of control. Operation flat earth has taken on a life of its own. You may have just nailed it @brianm4
When you don't know what to believe you could believe anything. Let's concentrate on facts and real evidence. Plus we need to watch those in power. They always slip up.
It would be hysterical to catch them in the act on something like this. Could you imagine the headlines, "NSA Trolls Try To Convince Society The Earth Is Flat". LMAO, nothing would surprise me nowadays.
