There are a couple of reasons why flat earth may be making a resurgence (if indeed it is) .

One of them is that people are uneducated and brainwashed. TPTB don't want anyone with basic knowledge and critical thinking skills bc such people can't be manipulated. And one thing TPTB NEED, in order to stay in power, is a manipulable population!

Once [some] people realized how thoroughly and maliciously they've been lied to, they bolt into opposite-land on some -any, many- widely accepted "truths". Again, lack of critical thinking skills: they can't question and look for evidence, instead they react oppositionally to what they've been told and create an alternate narrative that could be just as far from reality as the BS they're reacting to.

Now, TPTB still need scientists and technically-trained people to make for them what they can't make for themselves. But these highly-educated people are de-fanged in two ways

First, people are highly adept at holding self-contradictory thoughts:
Scientists who supposedly work in the real world with evidence and hypotheses and testing who believe in supernatural powers?
Scientists who don't apply their logic and research skills outside of their narrow sphere of work? Worse, scientists who think they can opine on ANY topic in the absence without having thought about it critically themselves, like Mishiu Kaku (physicist) believing he can say anything meaningful.about the future of human development ("We shall become as gods". Er.. Mishiu, hate to tell you this but the energy required for that level of advancement necessarily limits it to just a few people. "What mean this 'we', kimosabe?")

And finally, scientists whose JOB it is to ASK QUESTIONS treating science like some sort of religion, creating a dogma instead of doubt. Scientists can be just as doctrinaire as anyone, and nobody responds to a doctrinaire twit.

THUGR: The most ignorant people in the world are those who believe they already know everything. Unless you doubt even your own knowledge, you'll never be able to learn. Instead of a thinking brain, you will have a read-only memory.

"Respected" news outlets?

WHO respects them? Seems like it's a self-referencing mutual stroking but they can't seem to be bothered looking for actual EVIDENCE. They just make shit up or knowingly pass along lies that were made up for them

So why do YOU respect them if they lie so often?

You say they lie but they don’t. They may make an occasional mistake but respectable news outlets don’t lie. And when they do make a mistake, it is pointed out. Their very existence depends on them being fair and honest. Are they perfect, nope, who is.

You post shit from sites that deliberately state lies. It’s what they are in business for. You have been proven to do this for years now. It’s hilarious how you keep acting like you have any credibility at all. Really, it's pure entertainment.

OH yeah comrade. Turkey just OK'd Sweden entering NATO. So, how's it going for Putin?

Too funny

Three conspiracy theories pumped by the M$M and one long-term lie that went on for months if not YEARS that you believe(d):

SADDAM! 9-11! TERROR TRAINING SITES! ALUMINUM TUBES! YELLOW CAKE! CHEMICAL WEAPONS! BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS! MUSHROOM CLOUD!
Went on for a year. But none of that, literally none of that, was true. And the WMD!!! conspiracy theory was pushed EVEN AS Hans Blix and his team were invasively inspecting every possible manufacture, storage, or dual-use site. Of course, you didn't hear about how they were doing what they were doing, but I listened (on one of these alt sites that you trash) to Scott Ritter, former Marine and experienced weapons inspector, describe in great detail HOW they went about making sure their inspections were surprises, despite Saddam's surveillance, and I came away reassured that they were achieving legitimate results. Didn't you find it unusual that the closer Blix came to finding Iraq in compliance with the UN mandate, the more frantic Bush got to invade? It was our bombing that literally drove out UN inspectors.

TRUMP! RUSSIA! KOMPROMAT! COLLUSION!
This was a deliberate fabrication where the CIA and FBI and MI6 worked hand-in-glove to leak and then disseminate accusations and "facts" that THEY KNEW were fabrications. Not gonna go over that shit again, but it was a deliberate lie made up and disseminated at the highest levels.

1-6 INSURRECTION!
Son, even the clips that were posted early on showed NO SUCH THING. Yanno, a REAL insurrection involves planning and weapons. Where is the evidence showing that large numbers of people brought arms and planned to occupy BY ARMED FORCE a television station, a radio station, police headquarters, and the White House? Jan 6 was exactly what most people recognize: a protest that got out of hand, with a little bit of incompetence and entrapment thrown in. Do you have evidence for anything else? Or do you have just froth and emotion?

MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS: 'Nuf said. But the M$M pushed this obvious lie for a whole summer. The thing that had me busting up? The reporter with the chyron about "mostly peaceful protests" as a large building was happily burning to the ground behind him.

I could post at least a DOZEN examples of M$M bullshit, but these went on for months if not years when evidence pointed firmly in the other direction. If they had been simple honest mistakes, they would have been corrected early on.

Ted still won't denounce Drag Queen Story Hour for Hop on Pop aged kids, highly sexualized and homosexual books in elementary school libraries or naked men dancing in June parades in front of kids in the middle of the street while chanting "we're coming for your children".

He's been given many, many opportunities to do so now, but he still won't do it.

Even Second was able to do so when pressed, illustrating that even one of the most Left-leaning people on the internet can draw this line.

Not Ted though. Because Ted is a child rapist.

6IXSTRING and THG you are driving this thread way off topic with personal attacks

THG, never did I ever say I believe in any of this Flater BS

read and use your brain before responding, it seems you are responding emotionally to my posts because I wrote a post a while back critical of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or something?

You posted a number of times in a personality test thread - it is interesting how people are broken down and put into boxes. You might not be so interested in it but a lot of people put feelings ahead of logic, they look at the world like poetry and symbolism, some love to be part of a group think even if its a cult. Even guys who go out and earn good money and they claim to be 'men' they can be as emotional and passionate and crazy like women. Then on top of all this add a Neo new age society that is constantly stimulated by nonsense on tv, magazines, internet, drugs, alcohol and legal prescription meds and you have a people with their minds transported to another realm.

I agree a government likes its populated to remain dumb and easy to manipulate, however what happens when they stop believing everything?

That's the path of least resistance. Reality, for most people, sucks. At the same time, mostly due to technology, life has never been so easy for most people for the last 60 or so years than any other point in time in history.

Human beings, in general, don't work right. We've got a whole lot of history in our genes and die-hard instinctual behaviors that are going to take infinitely longer to remove from the species than the speed at which the winds of change in society swing. We should be FAR happier, successful, innovative and motivated than people who used to toil out in the farmland or hunt all day long, just for sustenance and with little in the way to preserve all of that work for long, only to come back home at night to the relative darkness of candlelight and torches to go to bed and wake up and do it all over again. But here we are... bored, grumpy and unhappy. Ungrateful... and in many, many cases, completely without real purpose.

For the most part, we're just consumers now. And for the most part, that's what we're happy being. No... Happy isn't the right word at all. Content? Safe? Certainly not happy, but at the same time most of us don't ever find the will to pursue our dreams anymore when you can just spend your free time playing video games or binge watching netflix and ordering take out food before you go to sleep to go back to your likely unfulfilling job in the morning.

And I've got a feeling that there has been some EXTENSIVE research done by people in power to figure out exactly what staring at a bright shiny rectangle 8 to 16 hours per day does to the human mind that was created long ago and has existed for many, many thousands of years without ever staring at a single bright shiny rectangle. But we're not privy to that information. And that might be for the best. We'd probably be mortified at the findings.

At least we'd be mortified for about two weeks, before we collectively forgot all about it and went back to staring at our bright shiny rectangles all day long.

Read Job.

Eventually everything is going to be taken away from us. All of us. I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, but the kids today who are growing up with tiny rectangles in their hands the moment the pacifier comes out of their mouths are going to be very much different adults than people like you and I who were born before answering machines and call waiting. Actually, it's kind of terrifying to think that we're about 10 to 12 years away from the first batch of them graduating college and running things.

People are going to need something to believe in when they have nothing and their daily life is otherwise completely without purpose and not even worth living. When they "own nothing and are happy."

The only question is, will it be one of the traditional gods, or will that idea have been stamped out completely 100 years from now, so they'll turn to some sort of AI god?
