A sad moment in my life was when I watched my beloved shit posting flat world Facebook group went from a place where we had debates using incredibly flimsy science about flat earth to real people not realizing it was a joke and taking it as fact.
The smirks and winks lead to shouting matches. Silly banter ended up being personal attacks and threats. The monthly "long rant" became daily.
The crazy conspiracy theorists folks won.
AndbThe "birds aren't real" folks are going to get it next.
And the scary thing is many of these flat earthers moved on to the Q world. It was like a gateway entrance to Qanon. Once you're going down the slippery slope territory...
When this nonsense points to the Jews every single time, you can't get all surprised when the cookers turn Nazi.
Denialism is pluripotent.
