Hi, I'm new here, but not new to the idea of a flat earth.

It seems to me there are many good and simple proofs that the Earth might be flat, but the most convincing of all to me is the vehement hatred with which the flat earth theory is received by news and social media.

Something that is absurd, or that has no scientific basis would not be considered worthy of rebuttal by the establishment.

Flat Earth Theory, however, is received with great attention to discredit it by the establishment.  This is very strange phenomenon in and of itself.

For example, if I say the moon is made of cheese and start a cheese moon society, no one will speak against me. The idea has no basis and I am an idiot. NASA will not acknowledge ny claim, nor will the media.

Flat Earth, however, has a great amount of establishment resources dedicated to destroying the theory. This in and of itself seems concrete proof that there is something to the Flat Earth Theory. Why would the government, the media and the scientific community spend time and resources to "debunk " something they claim is ludicrous?

This attention and attack by the establishment is proof they feel threatened by the Flat Earth Theory.

Flat Earthers are not capitalizing on the hatred of the scientific community. This is a great opportunity to further the cause so to speak.

When your enemy fears you, he attacks. The establishment is most definantly your enemy if you are a flat earth proponent. The flat earthers should press the scientific community very hard, as they are pressing the flat earthers.

This is just an observation, but a good one I think....

Thoughts?
