It is a psyop because it is demonstrably false. Rudimentary observations provide ample evidence for a round earth.
George Orwell didn’t think so.
In this he said that any normal person would have no way of knowing or proving that the earth is round. Einstein said that no optical experiment can prove the earth is rotating.
This was before NASA existed to provide CGI animations that people think are real photographs.
I would love to hear your “rudimentary observation” that you think proves any of these qualities but I would also bet lunch that it’s already been disproven many times over.
Two thousand years ago people proved it round. With surprising accuracy.
For some reason two thousand year old technology is beyond the mental capacity of flat earthers.
I've repeatedly challenged flat earthers to prove the earth flat. They all cried and ran away. No takers.
FE is pushed by Jews for the very reason OP posted.
You're an idiot. Prove the word is spherical. Saying other people already proved it isn't proof. What proof is there?
Thank you for that George Orwell essay, I really enjoyed it. I think his broader point is about how we place too much trust in the "authorities" on important subjects and don't question enough of what we think we know- something Flat Earthers are really good at.
I would like to say that I don't trust Einstein at all because he was a plagiarist and a self-promoter rather than an actual scientist. Reminds me a bit of Bill Nye or Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Next I would like to say that I appreciate a lot of what flat earthers have exposed, like how fake NASA is. There are so very many examples of liars on wires, or bubbles in space and CGI satellites and the like. It is largely a scam and they need to be shut down ASAP. And for that matter so much of "science" is actually nonsense, and our understanding of science is intentionally garbled by the education system, to keep us ignorant and controllable. However, I don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because some of what I was taught in school is baloney, that doesn't mean it all is.
Initially I was going to list a bunch of reasons for you as to why the earth is round, but I have a better idea. I am willing to arrange an observation for you to observe the curve yourself. I will provide you with exact coordinates and what to look for, as well as the information as to why it proves the curve. All I ask is that you give me a rough area to work in, say a 100-mile radius, or however far you are willing to travel. You can post a location here or PM me if you would prefer.
