No, they don't, flat earthers are stupid enough to convince themselves
Many Flat Earth believers end up believing in it by first starting out to disprove it.
Only few posses both an open enough mind and the ability to overcome overwhelming cognitive dissonance to actually realise the level of deception involved, and see the reality that all the globe "science" is actually completely fake. Even less have the humility to admit what they learn.
Your responses and hostile reaction to the mere idea demonstrates you know very very little on the topic and have not done even the tiniest amount of research on it.
You most likely also trust Fact Checkers and the Google search algorithm.
But that's not unexpected. Most people are like this.
Flat Earth is a massive pill to swallow. I first had to understand several things about the world we live in before I could possibly overcome the cognitive dissonance. Some of those being:
- The mainstream media is 100% propaganda, specifically designed to deceive and control the thoughts and opinions of the population for the benefit of those in power.
- Moon landing was 100% fake.
- All major governments of the world are in collision with each other to some degree.
- Fact checkers are specifically designed to deceive and hide truth and/or spread propaganda.
- "Conspiracy Theory" is just a dismissive term that exists to keep people from searching for truth.
- And many other things which are also very hard pills to swallow.
