Flat Earthers

[Nicholas]

What I'm really wondering is: How in the world can otherwise 'normal' (not even necessarily intelligent) people fall for something like this?

What if you were my daughter and I had brought you up believing a square was actually a circle and red was actually green, you would inevitably be alienated from from your class mates in school and repeatedly feel distressed at your inability to re-educate them. So I guess these folks that believe in such narratives are wholly abandoned at birth, both in terms of nurture, and nature.

What are the roots of this

   

It's a natural consequence to orange ray upbringing in my view.    

Are the negative elite behind it, as DISinfo, to discredit the real 'conspiracy theories'? (By 'real' I mean the ones that are actually true.)

I believe that negative influences are behind it, although the momentum is freely chosen by the masses that consume the garbage science. In a world of "illusion" though, how can we define what is real and true?

Anyway, I found it rather amusing. I had no idea that such a movement even existed.

Another movement that exists is the "Keep Monica at Bring4th" movement
