Same here. I learned about Flat Earthers, and assumed they were sarcastic, like Birds aren’t Real. Took me two years of occasionally coming across their shit to realize they were serious. I was flabbergasted.
That’s when I started to understand how stupid people can be. They can be all the stupid, and in unsettling numbers.
Me in 2015 reddit in the_Donald Subreddit thought they were shitposting sarcasm but no. It was a coordinated Russian intelligence campaign to fuck with retarded voters
After reading the comments I’m glad I’m not alone
…did the friend know too?
I wonder how flat earthers explain it’s winter here in S. America and summer in Europe, at the same time.
They think earth is flat and space is 3d
We are but a spinning plate in the grand cosmic microwave oven of the universe
I think it was either a Miniminuteman or a Folding Ideas video that showed what some flatties proposed: the Sun moves in a wacky repeating spiral pattern above the surface. It’s closer to the Arctic during summer and to the Antarctic during winter, which they claim to explain the different angles of incidence. Obviously that doesn’t conform to any physical laws… observed phenomena… ideas that a person of ordinary intelligence might come up with… their own models of flat Earth… but flatties are nothing if not persistent in their dogmatic rejection of reality.
… explain?
Piss off with you pro-establishment crap.
The earth is flat; it’s just space that’s curved.
I imagine it is like moving a lamp over a table. Closer parts have summer and further away parts have winter.
wasn’t that 4chan in general, it’s fun to post far right memes and jokes until the actual far right shows up and doesn’t know the difference
Something similar happened to me once, ended up sharing something that I figured was satire and antifa, then it did end up in fact being satire but also nazi. Basically everyone thought it was on their side, correct or not.
Mostly started very quickly in 2015.
I wonder how hard it is to infiltrate and influence an anonymous message board.
Considering trends are started by a single dedicated schizo I’d say not hard. I’m pretty sure one very dedicated person made fit and beyond believe onions boosted test.
Oh boy do I have a rabbit hole for you: https://archive.is/RvJdW

Flat-earth shitposters and actual flat-earthers may have their differences, but at least they can all agree that Apollo 11 was staged
Of course it was staged. That’s how rockets work.
A lot of groups take advantage of shitposters in this way. Oh woe is me.
Female… shitposter?
Fake and gay
It’s still gay if they have a dick right
With all due respect, go fuck yourself
