If you visit different channels you may see plenty of examples of "infighting" and rivalry between flat earthers. One flerf accuses the other of being a shill or controlled opposition, CIA agents, and so on.
All it takes is a differing opinion and a bit of immaturity, then name calling and accusations tend to begin. It's unfortunate and embarrassing, and tends to be something most of us are guilty of. This behavior stems off of distrust
Let's face it: Not all flat earthers have the entire truth. In Fact, NONE of us have all the facts. This is the main reason this Wiki is call the True Earth Wiki rather than the Flat Earth Wiki - because, it's not about the shape, it's about finding the truth. One of the goals of this wiki is to help bring this community together. It's okay to have different opinions and different theories - unlike modern Science, we just need to be clear on whether it's Fact or theory.
Even globers, physicists, scientists, doctors, and preachers don't all get along! There's multiple theories of how the universe works, there's doctors calling other doctors quacks, and there's hundreds of religions and denominations of religions.
As you know, many of the things that make up the globe model have been debunked. Now all we want is the truth. We're not willing to listen to the same source for that truth. We're not interested in their new theories and supposed findings and new evidences - when they've been caught lying all along.
We need to realize that we've all made mistakes and sometimes it's how we learn. We've all been indoctrinated with lies, so it's only natural to have some of these false beliefs until we've had time to research and relearn. Unknowingly making a mistake does not necessarily make me a CIA Agent.
Let's just be thankful that there are many who spend time researching, looking for the truth, then sharing that research with us. Even if they are wrong this time around, I think we need to just be patient. If you
===Name calling===
====Grifter====
A grifter is a con artist: '''someone who swindles people out of money through fraud'''. Grifters might be a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, or a scammer. The word "Grift" may have come from "graft", a slightly older word meaning "to acquire dishonestly."
I had a aunt who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a TV evangelist who was "selling" God's blessings (Act now and you'll receive double the blessing, smh 😠). I also have a grandmother who gave away all her savings and even reverse mortgaged her home (also totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars) to be able to send help to an "in need" scammer who's story was he was trying to "deliver" lottery winning (A car and money) to a lottery that she never even entered, meanwhile the scammer fulfilled her loneliness and even called this scammer a son. She got a blessing by helping him with his life and relationships - both financially and in prayer. She even went so far as to yell at relatives who were trying to warn her of this scam.
I've yet to see a flat earther demand payment for "blessings", and yet to find one even asking their viewers for money under threat. Yes, many have mentioned they would appreciate donations, and some even went so far as to tell the viewers that donations are their only means of income and any help will make further content possible.
It seems like being a flat earther, who makes a living with odd business opportunities, selling merchandise, and relying on donations from viewers - is seen as a con artist rather than self employed.
We never called the Rainbow vacuum cleaner guy a grifter or a shill, yet he went from door to door making statements that would inevitably make you feel that buying this vacuum is necessary or a good idea. One thing for sure, the salesman sure needed the sales, it is his livelihood.
If listening to "truthers" provides you with some sort of entertainment or help in life, it's certainly not evil of you to provide support. You have to be the judge if support is a good value, not others.
I guess we can admire people for not having to "work for the man". Do we feel jealous, envious of this person? Is that the motivation for spreading hateful comments about this person? Maybe we just disagree with this person, and having their success rub salt in our proverbial wound.
Even in the legal system there's several stages that must occur before Sentencing. The news broadcasts the arrest and shows many accusations. Almost everyone falls for the trap in participating in spreading hate and labeling. Sometimes these people are found guilty from a Trial, sometimes they are found innocent, yet all the labeling and hate was already spewed out of the NPC's watching TV.
Labeling people and causing division is a reoccurring tactic of the globalist elite through the media and the education system. Let's not participate.
====Shill====
A Shill is a '''person paid to endorse''' a product favorably, while pretending to be impartial.

Truth is a never ending journey. To accuse somebody of not knowing the truth is discouragement. We need to be loving and gently with those who are willing to bury their pride and relearn what they've already been taught.
