First let me state that I am neither a flat-earther or globe-earther at this point. I am open to further proof either way. That being said, a number of the flat earth guys that I have listened to are super smart and incredibly well researched and informed. What they all call out regularly are serious anomalies in the theories and stories that we have been told since birth. Theories that according to rock solid empirical evidence can't be proven from the face of the Earth itself. This means that anything we think we know about the Earth model is based upon trust from an authority.
What most people are really afraid of when they talk shit about the flat-earthers is that they might find out that they have been so f**king lied to their entire lives that their whole basis of reality may be bullshit. This is my hypothesis as to why most are so afraid to admit that the flat-earthers have some incredibly legitimate points. You can disagree with them for sure, but if anyone just writes off their evidence, it's being both incredibly biased and ignorant. Unfortunately, our society relies upon this indoctrinated ignorance these days in order to keep the sheeple in full control.
Why people are so passionate about it is simple. If it's true, it's probably the biggest f**king coverup the world has seen. 911 is small beans next to this. However since most people still haven't even wrapped their heads around what really happened on 911, they can't go anywhere near this topic unless they're willing to let their heads implode from the sheer scope of what this level of coverup would really mean.
I am so on board with you. I am still of the opinion that a verdict has not been reached because there is a battle happening for reasons beyond what we know.
It's a battle for the minds of the masses. There is so much planted deception out there that unless you are really perceptive and persistent, you have no chance of knowing who to really trust. For example, just have a look at my recent articles 1-4 on Luciferian symbolism in the cryptocurrencies. Most people will blow them off because everybody that's involved in cryptos wants to become a millionaire with them. This would make them feel conflicted and who wants that?.. Well, just people that actually want to know the truth more than anything else. That's not the typical person. Congratulations that you are not one of typical ones as well.
