Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

We don't have technology to go to the moon.

Water doesn't bend.

When they use those terms, they are not trying to convert newcomers to the FE belief. They are signalling their tribal loyalty to other Flat Earthers and their Thought Leaders.

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

The visible horizon always "rises to eye level."

Millions of scientists and engineers believe the Earth is spheroid primarily because we were brainwashed by NASA.

The Antarctic treaty restricts independent exploration.

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

Surveyors and civil engineers never account for curvature

Some of the lies in the Flat Earth narrative seem to exist for that purpose. They are so transparently, obviously false, that they must have some other purpose than evangelism. Why would they make these claims, except to recite the creed in public for other devotees to see?

Many of their comments in social media make no sense as evangelism. But they make perfect sense as community affirmation and reinforcement.

How should one respond to compliments such as "You are so special" and "I'm lucky to have met you" from a guy?
