I am entirely convinced the flat earth movement consists of 90% pranksters who are doing it for shits and giggles and 10% bona fide contrarian retards who falsely believe they’re in good company.
I work with a guy who is convinced the earth is flat and space is fake and all the governments know it and that’s why planes aren’t allowed to ever fly over Antarctica or something.
I worked with someone who seriously claimed that covid was produced by 5G towers, and also was a con by the government so they could inject nanobots into our blood via vaccines. He was never able to see the contradiction.
He also relieved that if you speed in a rental car for some reason the police cannot pull you over. Boy was he wrong.
I’m not sure I see the contradiction myself. It sounds like the theory is the towers somehow transmit the virus which creates the need and pretext for the vaccine that allows the secret nanobot injection right?
Is it contradictory because the capacity to wirelessly transmit a biological virus through these 5g towers would mean they wouldn’t need to physically inject these nanobot things because they should be able to just transmit them the same way? Because if so, I can see what you mean but I suppose that doesn’t necessarily follow, like maybe for whatever reason viruses are different to nanobots and can somehow be transmitted through radio technology but nanobots can’t. Or also they might think, as so many conspiracy theorists do, that COVID is a “hoax” so that opens up all kinds of creative interpretations, maybe their 5g towers merely produce the disease known as COVID and there is no actual virus known as SARS-COV-2 and that’s the “hoax” part. That theory wouldn’t require virus transmission over radiowaves just radiowaves being “bad” for reasons that could be made up later.
What the hell is there to make money off of though? In today’s Flat Earth news: It’s not confirmation bias, Earth is still flat and nobody will believe you if you try to tell them and you’ll get kicked out of orgies for revealing the truth.
Do actual real people really compulsively watch this like their favorite live streamer or HOW does this shit even exist? IS there an anti insanity monetized counter channel war to this? Oh wait, that’s what OPs image is setting up for…anti-flat Earth grift
Flat earth isn’t the scam itself, it’s the hook. There are a million ways to get people into the conspiracy theory sphere, but once they’re hooked on one thing, they’re primed to believe everything else. It took less than a year from my mom to go from watching videos “asking questions” about science to spending a bunch of money on everything from silver supplements and ivermectin to 5g blockers and resonance machines.
The point of flat earth and related conspiracies is that they prey on people’s misunderstanding of science and mathematics (why Earth round if look flat?) to sow doubt in the collective understanding of reality as a whole. Once that happens, you can tell them anything isn’t what it seems and they’ll believe you, and sell them anything to fix it, and they’ll pay you.
merch? patreon? idk dude i haven’t figured out how to monetize the internet besides selling CDs (and only family and friends buy those anyways, so it wasn’t worth the hosting fee)
Maybe? The Netflix doc mad a pretty convincing argument that they are sad, undereducated, and unaccomplished losers who are desperate to feel superior to something and to have something approximating real friends.
I think it started as stupid shit and people with the most desperate need latched on because they had nothing else in there entire lives.
Maybe started by pranksters then grifters realizes that can sell fake books and fake stuff like some fake tool that pretends to prove some false assumption

But even that guy jumped off the trump train.

I lol’d. We all have a coworker like that. Hell, he’s my supervisor.
I think it’s more like 10% grifters, 90% dupes.
What’s the grift angle? People make money believing that shit?
There’s a small industry of flat earth influencers.

Basically, yes. Merchandise and subscriptions.
I’d say you could host your own flat orgies, but I wouldn’t want to attend. I like the round bits on the ladies too much to enjoy that scene.
i think you have the percentages wrong but the groups right. more like 1:3 pranksters:dipshits
also, would you mind using a different word than retard? i don’t particularly like being grouped with flat earthers.
Wait until you meet some

so you start with that fuzzy equality where you end up at 1=0 due to bad math. then you just start multiplying if by shit and it looks legitimate!
