(Stupid) people like to make fun of and mock Flat Earthers...

People like to make fun of and mock Flat Earthers. And sure, fair enough. However, the thing I'll never understand is, these same people also likely believe in something equally idiotic and lack as much critical thinking as any Flat Earther. The same people mocking flat-earthers, also tend to be:

  • Christians
  • Muslims
  • Jews
  • Scientologists
  • Deeply religious people of any kind
  • Feminists
  • Social justice warriors/the woke
  • Communists
  • Marxists
  • Socialists
  • Democrats
  • Republicans
  • Sovereign citizens
  • Racists/race supremacists
  • Vaccine cultists
  • Breatharians
  • Andrew Tate followers
  • "Disney Adults"
  • Transgenders
  • Pronouners/non-binaries

...And other, for lack of a better term, fucking idiots. You see, most human beings are fucking retarded. Like, legitimately 95-97%, if I had to put a number on it. So mocking a Flat Earther for being "a moran," is no different than mocking someone who believes in talking snakes, women made out of ribs, and giant zoo boats that would take 400 years and an entire forest of wood to make with just one small family. Or someone who believes in their pedophile goat-fucker who doesn't like to be drawn.

The difference between an intelligent group of people, and those who like to mock easy targets is, we already know MOST HUMAN BEINGS ARE IDIOTS. Mocking a Flat Earther is like a moron bullying a retard. Pretty much literally. So maybe think about that and your "Earth was created in seven days" myths before you mock something equally implausible. Because there really is no difference in a Flat Earther, Scientologist, or feminist, other than the subject in grade school they failed.

At the very least though, Flat Earthers are willing to deny the status quo and stand up against the establishment. And many probably know they'll be mocked and ridiculed for it. Which is at least more ballsy than I can call people who proudly support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I'll take an independent-thinking idiot over an establishment-sheep idiot, any day.

(Oh, and for the record, I am Agnostic. I can't say whether there is a higher power/God or not. But I seriously doubt a species as retarded as the human race, has the answers towards the Ultimate Creator of the Universe. Most humans don't even know themselves accurately.)

Some of those worldviews are more coherent than others. I'd go so far as to say it's rather lazy to not even attempt to form one, and instead rely on a vaguely agnostic, "Well, there's just not enough evidence for anyone to have any conviction at all so shrug" sort of philosophy.

It is true that people should keep an open mind and consider the fact that they believe many things that could sound just as preposterous as whatever they're railing against.

I strongly believe humans, and the universe in general, is mostly chaos and that the great flaw of humans is that they foolishly try to force order and "explanations for everything" into said chaos as much as possible. Sure, the planets may revolve around the stars, but most of the entire universe is just dark matter and black holes.

I'm not against people having faith; whatever works to make you a better person. I'm just against hypocrisy; like a Christian trying to mock a Scientologist, or a feminist trying to mock anyone.
