The Flat-Earther Debate Technique

Henry Hudson here. (HHH)

Today, I spent around 20 minutes observing normal people (round earthers) vs clueless idiots (flat earthers) debate in a Discord Server. I only observed; I didn't say anything to or for either side. Here's what I noticed about flat-earthers' debate techniques:

Scientific Baloney
Now, not all normal people are experts in the field of science, so flat-earthers take advantage of that. They do their "research" and find bogus scientific claims as to why the Earth's surface cannot be curved, and is, hence, flat. Even though their "research" cannot be true, most round-earthers do not have the knowledge to disprove their faulty claims. Their scientific bogus goes pretty deep; a single Google search cannot provide enough information for a sensible person to disprove flat-earthers' bullsh**. In the end, the argument will end in a stalemate, where no side can disprove the other.

Evasion of Common Sense
Obviously, there are many easy ways people can prove the Earth is round. There are literally satellite images of a round Earth, something flat-earthers cannot argue against. So, they just avoid common sense, and batter round-earthers with their scientific bogus.

For example, I noticed a round-earther ask, "Has anyone ever seen the edge of the Earth?" Of course, the answer is no, and flat-earthers are fully aware. So, a flat-earther in the Discord server retorted with, "Stop asking childish questions." After that, another flat-earther continued to attack the round-earther with more scientific bullsh**. I saw this evasion of questions many times. What I wrote above was only one example.

Stupidity
Overall, you cannot win an argument against a dumb person. As Mark Twain said, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

This quote perfectly describes arguments with flat-earthers. They have experience mindlessly debating round-earthers. Round-earthers come in to the argument thinking their common sense will suffice; it will not. I feel like once you're a flat earther, you're probably going to be one forever.

Dumb people cannot accept that they are wrong. That's what makes dumb people dumb.

I feel like Mark Twain came up with that quote after arguing with a flat earther lol.
