>>11143031Flat earth is a psyop that was created and astroturfed to support the argument of climate change, vaccines, and similar topics where you have a scientific consensus and a lot of people suspicious of it. Essentially a false-flag operation to give the advocates an easy strawman to use against the opposition. E.g. "don't believe in climate change huh? what shape do you think the earth is, if I may ask?". Why do you think it was popularized by a handful of athletes and celebrities?
When you see flat earth posts, they're trolls 50% of the time, shills 25% of the time and the last 25% are actual impressionable retards who fell for it.
