Hillary’s candidacy is better evidence of the answer you seek. “They” care only about power.
Ever watch Dateline? When they ask the audience to chime in online with what they think, they don’t care what you think. They just count hits.
Flat earth is out there because somebody invented a bulls!t meter and it needed to be calibrated.
He is getting older and he’s scared.
He doesn’t even realize that.
Flat earthers are gullible enough to believe the deep state doesn’t exist.
Also...television in general is very seductive and destructive to the moral compass of especially young minds. I was at a place recently that had TV. I was nauseated to see a commercial that pitched a prescription drug that when taken prevents someone from contracting HIV!
I couldnt hardly believe it. The actors portrayed obviously gay people. AND then the following commercial was a Vodka commercial with Ted Danson with an obviously gay man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWdD7rvbOLc
I hate to suggest that your dad might be a danger to his passengers and other innocent people on the ground, but do you think that might be the case? Personally, I don't know if I would want to fly with someone like that.
In my experience, flat-earthers can deny what their eyes are telling them, and what their brains ought to be telling them, all to hold onto that whacky belief of theirs.
In their obstinacy, they could conceivably fly their plane into the ground rather than admit what they are seeing is the curvature of the earth up ahead.
This time is the Rejection of Reason.
I see it in science. I see it in politics.
Hell, I see it in my personal dealings.
The Lord of Lies is working overtime. This is not a man-made thing, this not a man-centric struggle.
This is a war of Powers and Principalities.
Get right with God.
I think you might want to listen a bit closer about the gun thing and your statement.. “today more people have guns than ever” is a complete fabrication. maybe your dad is just checking to see if YOUR bullshit meter is working
It is disturbing. It’s disturbing that people would in the face of facts
and even good ol’ common sense embrace narratives and viewpoints that are have been or will be disproven, and why? Because the truth is too painful to accept. Because a position they hold dear would be debunked or contradicted and they’d rather stick beans in their ears and babble about how they can’t hear you. They’d rather misquote someone and repeat and dissect a fragment of what a person they do not admire said as what they “really” meant, and when it suits them completely ignore what people they admire say that is truly in the negative.
It’s good to question authority and try to get to the bottom of things,
but when you hold an inflexible position that denies incontrovertible
facts that should be at your own peril and not at others.
For example, on the way to work last winter I heard a fellow commute passenger , a millennial “Latina” college kid assert that Trump controlled the weather and allowed it to be inclement. What can you say or discuss with someone who espouses that kind of idiocy? How can you talk to 9/11 troofers, climate change believers, socialists, kneeling racialists, who have no facts to support their beliefs? I know I wouldn’t get in a plane knowingly with a pilot who has flown at altitudes where the curvature of the earth can be seen but denies it.
I think attempts to equate concern over government attempts to disarm the population with flat earth theories is disturbing.
"Oh, you think some kind of conspiracy was behind the 911 attacks? You must be a flat-earther moron!"
