    What I don’t understand is let’s say it is flat. Why would they go to such lengths to lie that it’s round? For what purpose.

      This question debunks 99% of conspiracy theories, but they’ll just give some non-answer like “power” or “control.”

        Don’t get me wrong. I do love a good conspiracy, but it needs to have plausible motivation and a mountain of evidence

      and also the flip side: who the fuck cares if it’s flat and the government is lying about it?

      I think they have this paranoia that the entire humanity turned against their religious belief. Like what benefit is there to changing the world’s shape for nasa, or anyone?

      Literally every flat earther is outright retarded.
