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

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

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

Some of the lies in the Flat Earth narrative seem to exist for that purpose. They are so transparently, obviously false, that they must have some other purpose than evangelism. Why would they make these claims, except to recite the creed in public for other devotees to see?

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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.

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

Water doesn't bend.

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

The Antarctic treaty restricts independent exploration.

Surveyors and civil engineers never account for curvature

The visible horizon always "rises to eye level."

What should I do if a girl whom I love asks me to be her friend?
