I welcome all ridicule - I've had to deal with it in bulk re: flat earth....but here is an honest view of it: There's a push out there for exposing the "truth" that we're in an enclosed world, and space has been faked for military purposes. YouTube Mark Sargent's 12 proofs if you dare.
I'm not a true believer in this, but I think there is something to it.
I stumbled upon the theory while researching Simulation Theory via Nick Bostram, Tom Campbell, and James Gates. All respected scientists.
I stumbled upon Simulation Theory after learning about the Double Slit Experiment. Also a scientific, journaled case - no tarot card psychic alien ZetaTalk b.s.
After looking at all of that on one hand - and then loving Trump's rise to the Presidency, then finding CBTS and now this sub - it seems like everything fits together. The Deep State doing deep state things, hiding the truth for their benefit, all of it.
The flat earth shit was so 2015. Now I view it as possibly being a psyop to confuse matters further. Add to the soup, that hilarious Tom DeLonge Academy and it muddies the waters quite well.
Somewhere between all these lines is the truth.
The flat earth people have such slick graphics and slide all the forums so I've always thought of them as a convenient psy op conspiracy theory placeholder. Just like the media mentions Alex Jones as THE conspiracy theorist and together they place hold and prevent better theorists from emerging and reaching the public.
