>>12961454Is it a pointless conspiracy theory, though? I'm genuinely interested in the truth, and I don't want to waste my time or anyone else's with bullshit conspiracy theories, but here are some things I've learnt that might address your question.
Firstly, the vast majority of people you meet will be incredulous if you raise the possibility of the Earth being flat... but how many people can meaningfully argue with you and inform you on the truth? Just as with believe in viruses... probably less than 1 in 100 people, probably far more like 1 in 10,000 people can even begin to meaningfully address these questions... so why is everyone so smug about it? If it's so self-evident, why can't the average person give me a decent enough EFFORT at a rebuttal? The best I usually get is "masts of ships are still visible above the horizon while the rest is below the horizon", but most of the people who raise this SINGLE POINT end up admitting they haven't even seen this for themselves and are instead relying on having read that claim.
Secondly, considering the question WHY WOULD THEY LIE? I keep coming back to this major point - the powers that be are very much served by having us believe in a round earth, that they have been into space, that they have been to the moon - it's actually a part of the systems power. Just as with "the virus" the system has every reason to have us believe in the POWER of their science to determine the exact cause... even though when you actually go looking for evidence of viruses, or especially that the virus labelled SARS-CoV2 causes 'covid19 respiratory distress', you find the evidence is very very thin and lacking.
It makes intuitive sense to me that the moon is a real place, that the earth is round, etc. But it's certainly true that the power structures as they exist are very much served by maintaining belief in a round Earth, in the moon, and that they've traveled there. So this is an issue of political importance.
