It's never that easy. Flat Earthers will claim that they were seeing Earth from a warped lens, or that it was a TV screen that looked like a window, but they will never admit that the earth is spherical.
Politicians are the weeds of the galaxy.
wait, people think the earth is flat? why?

Better education.
Send all the flat earthers off to a remote island and tell them it's going to fall off the edge of the world
Stand out, fit in

Of course the earth isn't flat. If it were, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

More seriously, willful stupidity in all its forms (flat earthers being some of the least pernicious) is a mortal threat to all democracies.

Flat earthers are completely irrelevant. Just ignore them.

Nope doesn't matter. Go to space and look down? God wanted it to look that way. Circumnavigate the entire planet? God picked you up and brought you to the other side. See the horizon? God wanted there to be a horizon. Gyroscopes and Magnetometers? Obviously the technology is faulty. Astrological proof? God moves the stars around however he wants.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

American education is generally piss poor and its not because the government doesnt have the money for it.
Ya gotta think, why do these people care so much to claim that the Earth is flat? Why is this a hill to die on? I don't think it's because they truly believe the Earth is flat. I think it's just dumbasses tryna be rebellious to the normal science we get.
Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's that simple

I.e., the "my ignorance is superior to your expertise" attitude, applied to the stupidest possible issue.

sounds like the devil is the one in question if they are distorting the shared reality we have.
This is why we gotta get at the core of people's beliefs no matter how much you disagree or hate them.

1+1=2

isnt everything math cant we just start there and move up?

Are you asking what about it makes it piss poor or what motivation has led to it being that way?

That's not going to work. Flat earthers etc. are not ignorant. They are willfully stupid.
