Flat Earth videos rack up huge views on the Internet — but how could anyone believe such a fundamentally false idea? Daily Beast reporter Kelly Weill joins John Avlon on this week’s Reality Check to discuss her new book and explain how social media has given an old conspiracy theory a huge boost – and the best way to convince someone to leave these cult-like groups.

They give you all these labels to make you seem crazy. The word "liar" is never among them. Do you think people just wake up one day thinking the way they do?
Did ONE person, who was drugged, really started this madness?
cults, nazi's, quacks, conspiracy theorists, far rights, wing nuts, cynics, Societal rejects, religious, people who are seeking scapegoats, financial opportunists, angry people, problematics, people that are jokes, morally REPREHENSIBLE people! people alienated by friends and family, people in need of a intervention, people that are depersonalized, people that are not in reality, people that need a safe landing place.
did i miss anything?
لواه جزائرية
There is no outerspace concept in flath earth theory dumb…
I refuse to believe some people believe the earth is flat😂
That's not a conspiracy from the 1800s don't be full open the Holy Bible in Genesis God put four angel on each corner of the world you can have corner on the sphere and we've got the firmament we are stuck here nothing can come nothing can go out like alien aliens War Satan agent the falling angel is not from another world that's from his world
conspiracy ? the guy/man/boy smiling here too much and using the word conspiracy too often is like a cheap unscientific commercial with no true consistant daily-measurable fact-checking ( and only talks about things orbitting the planet while most satelites are situated on ONE (relative non standing-still) location compared to Earth; like gps and data/tv and weather sattelites… Only the rather big ISS is going round and round and roundabout orbitting the earth AND can see other sides of the ("flat") earth, but is that thing with people in it showing corumpted data about the underside of the "flat" planet ?? 😂😂😂😂
nevertheless; this toyboy himself has many many conspiracy-thoughts AND acts 😂😂😂😮😮:
1:
believing that putting on a suit makes him more intelligent 😂😂😂
2:
believing in afterlife 😂😂😂
3:
believing in a god or two three🎉😂😂
4:
believing his partner was a virgin 😂😂😂
5:
telling others he has gone through very interesting studies and schoolings 😂😂😂 so thinking he is smart and overseeing things 😂😂😂
6:
telling his parents-in-law he is openminded and open honest en never cheats than only in small minor laughable situations 😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂
8:
cleaning and coloring his face before the tv-scan because he thinks he looks better and has more character in that medium😂😂😂😂
253:
that cleaning and bleeching his butt gives more open chances to get some nice addoration 😂😂😂😂😂
2.487:
thinking many people like and prefer his presentation-attitude in media…😢😢😢😂😂
all of these are conspiracies in his Sapiens primate head 😊😊😂😂😂😂
if earth was really flat, these people would beliefe its round
She siad that flat earth has the motive of money by getting clicks from videos when nasa gets billions in taxes who really has the motive of money what a qack
Earth is a spear idc what you say 😂
If right-wing talk radio said earth was flat, 40% of the US would believe flat earth.
Well you two canaries didn’t give much information as to why people believe the earth is flat.
Or refute the argument with science as to how we know the earth is round like a ball.
CNN you are consistent in putting others down to make you look good or right in this case. When it comes to presenting the truth…. You really suck😂
Time zones wouldn't exist if the world was flat
And Jeshua had to delete and spam again, trying to hide my answers to his dubious posts.
Let's go for another round, it's fun annoying this cultist.
Wait for it, his stupid posts are going to reappear after this one again.
Classic cultist behavior.
Exactly as predicted, Jeshua deleted and spammed again his dubious posts because he doesn't like when someone points out that the vast majority of Christians know Earth is spherical, when he pretends it's antitheist to know Earth is a globe.
He also doesn't like if you point out that the Deuteronomy tells you to stone your rebellious children to death.
He will soon delete and spam again so he can make my answers disappear.
Watch it happen, this is going to go on and on because he can't stomach reality.
Classic cultist behavior.
Watch Jeshua deleting his dubious and poorly written posts because he received criticism he can't handle.
He's soon going to delete then and spam again, you'll see his spams reappering after this comment.
Watch it happening.
That's all you need to know about this YEC cultist's intellectual honesty.
2024 Earth is not a ball shape 😂
Zillion years later proved, earth is flat😂😂😂😂
Been a while since I saw Don's (@Jeshua1737) badly worded religious spam that means absolutely nothing.
I remember back when he used to 'try' and engage, before we collectively slapped him into the role of a passive bot.
Why the water is level?
if earth is round?
