Comment on What happened to the flat earthers who demonstrated that the earth is round in the netfilx documentary ?

What consequences are there for being a flat earth idiot?

I don’t understand how you can see a comment that says “being mean is unproductive” and conclude “we should be mean anyways”

Do you carry the same principle for fat shaming?

Fat shaming is such a bad analogy, I wouldn’t dream to mock someone for their body.

Mocking someone for the factually wrong “theory” they scientifically disproved themselves… That’s fair game.

  What if an individual believes in flat earth theories because of a mental disregulation they suffer from?

You don’t have a choice over whether or not you’re fat. If you ask a fat person if they want to be fat, I can guarantee that the vast majority of them will say no.

Believing in flat earth, on the other hand, is a choice. The people in the Flat Earth movement don’t want to leave; in fact, when faced with contradictory evidence, they just dig their heels in.
