Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

The visible horizon always "rises to eye level."

Some of the lies in the Flat Earth narrative seem to exist for that purpose. They are so transparently, obviously false, that they must have some other purpose than evangelism. Why would they make these claims, except to recite the creed in public for other devotees to see?

Many of their comments in social media make no sense as evangelism. But they make perfect sense as community affirmation and reinforcement.

Why do guys look up TikTok girls instead of porn? My boyfriend of two years, looks up big boobs on TikTok. He has never once cheated on me, not on social media or IRL. He claims it’s to “get off real quick if I’m not home.”

We don't have technology to go to the moon.

When they use those terms, they are not trying to convert newcomers to the FE belief. They are signalling their tribal loyalty to other Flat Earthers and their Thought Leaders.

Water doesn't bend.

How can we understand the mind of a Trump supporter?

The Antarctic treaty restricts independent exploration.

Surveyors and civil engineers never account for curvature

Millions of scientists and engineers believe the Earth is spheroid primarily because we were brainwashed by NASA.
