Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

Surveyors and civil engineers never account for curvature

When they use those terms, they are not trying to convert newcomers to the FE belief. They are signalling their tribal loyalty to other Flat Earthers and their Thought Leaders.

The visible horizon always "rises to eye level."

The Antarctic treaty restricts independent exploration.

Millions of scientists and engineers believe the Earth is spheroid primarily because we were brainwashed by NASA.

We don't have technology to go to the moon.

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

Many of their comments in social media make no sense as evangelism. But they make perfect sense as community affirmation and reinforcement.

Why do flat Earthers exist? Why can’t I see the Sun at night? Is it because Earth is not flat?
