FAQ/Why FE Exists
Why would FE Groups and FE Believers exist?
If you've not researched FE, you might find the topic laughable or insane to believe. I've heard many claim that FE is just another "psyop" or even described as some sort of ridiculous religious cult.
Simply put, flat earth isn't a belief, it's an observation. The fact is, NASA was founded by satan worshiping occultists and the heliocentric model was built off of a religion. Flat-earthers actual work to expose this fraud and the pseudo-science, or rather, find the truth.
If curvature existed, flat-earthers wouldn't.

According to wikipedia
Flat Earth is an archaic and scientifically disproven conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat-Earth cosmography. The model has undergone a recent resurgence as a conspiracy theory
Many seem to think the Earth is a disk surrounded by an ice wall and that those who show evidence to the contrary — including NASA, with its many satellite pics beamed down of our blue marble — are fakes. These conspiracy theorists believe NASA and others are trying to keep this secret from the public.
Flat Earth groups of the modern era date from the middle of the 20th century; some adherents are serious and some are not. Those who are serious are often motivated by religion or conspiracy theories. Through the use of social media, flat Earth theories have been increasingly espoused and promoted by individuals unaffiliated with larger groups. Many believers make use of social media to spread their views.
However, flat earth was known to all the ancient civilizations, and it was taught in schools all the way to the 20th century. Surprisingly, earth's supposed curve has never been observed or scientifically measured.
It wasn't until about 14 century the Jesuits infiltrated the Church, shortly after, the globe earth was being adopted by the Catholic church, and by the beginning of the 20th century it was being forced into schools, by means of "bullying" schools into teaching all points of view. (See an example of this in the Sep 06 1874 Newspaper clip below) [1]
It seemed like teaching the globe was considered taboo not long ago, in the year 1900, a man was almost thrown in to jail for teaching the round earth theory. (See the example in the Apr 21, 1900 Newspaper clip below)
To answer the questions "Why Flat eathers exist?": Simply put, we don't appreciate being lied to. We want to discover the truth, we have scientific minds, and the pseudo-science adult cartoons that NASA makes doesn't cut it.
Flat-Earth Society
In the early 1900's the Flat-Earth Society was a legitimate group, including members that were royalty. Today, the Flat-Earth Society has been sabotaged by the government to make flat earth researchers seem crazy by making half-truths mixed with nonsense.
In June 2013 Oboma said "There's No Time For A Meeting Of The Flat-Earth Society", another way to make fun of FE, or to make those who are researching FE aware of the modern Flat-Earth Society which is will mislead them. It also was intended to make it seem like FE researchers deny climate change or science, to further add prejudice among people who haven't researched FE and those who have.
Censorship
Eventually both points of view were slowly exchanged with one point of view - the globe model. And teaching the FE model was eventually banned. I guess bullying worked well. (See YouTube cracking down Newspaper clip below)
Modernly big tech actively "shadow-bans" FE content. YouTube hides videos that discuss FE in a scientific way, they promote videos that talk against FE. [2] Search engines now will show you "Fact Checkers" for any search query for FE. (See Keeping us "safe" from scientific knowledge web search below)
It tells you something when the Government actively plays both sides: They illegally censor information and question private businesses on what they're going to do about allowing free speech (Treason by breach of the 1st amendment). Plus they make fake flat-earth societies to discourage people from learning the truth.
