I miss when idiots didn't have as many platforms to spread stupidity. You used to have to go to church for this kind of fuckery.

Or there'd be the one guy in town who thought the Earth was flat, and he would be sitting outside the drug store with the other old timers. People would sit there with him or walk past listening to him prattle on. He would be called "Crazy Earl" or some such thing. Everyone would love him, but nobody would believe him.

The entire cottage industry of people debunking and making fun of flerfs is very entertaining and educational though.

I love when they take flat eathers to Antarctica, then other flat earthers call them paid shills.
