It's not. Flat Earthers, the real ones, not the controlled opposition types (a category you forgot to mention), are able to be highly individual. If a Round Earther says, "I'm not sure the climate is changing though," that's it. He's excommunicated. That's orthodoxy. Agree with all beliefs or you are just like that Bulmabriefs144 over there.
I disagree with you there. There are way too many climate deniers on this planet and only a very small fraction of them are flat earthers. There certainly has been a narrative during covid that "the science" is always right and always in agreement, which is certainly wrong. But round earthers are also individual, there is just a set of established knowledge that we rely on.
And for the record, I don't "rub" anything into anyone's face. But when I often get three to one arguments, I feel obligated to defend my ideas.
Agree with you there. There is certainly a tendency to 'gang up' on flat earthers here, and that is not helpful to any discussion.
Categorizing me is actually easy. I'm a Questioner. I question how anything on round Earth can work.
It is understandable to have questions. The problem is that nowadays people appear to believe that their opinions are as valid as the ones of experts who have been working in that field for their entire life. Yes, you should always be able and allowed to question things in science. No, someone who has not studied physics (either in University or via books, idc) will probably not find flaws in current theories in physics. We are building upon a combined knowledge that goes back to Newton (or even further into the past, if you will), more than 300 years of lifelong study by some of the greatest minds on our planet. You alone can not figure out this much on your own, no matter how clever you are. Once you have learned the principles, you are very welcome to question them. But your questions regarding the RE model can all be traced back to a blatant misunderstanding of gravity, acceleration, velocity, scale and perspective. So please,
please, learn and understand the core principles of a theory before you question it, otherwise your questions are meaningless. (I even created a thread for that (Globe Earth Q&A), please feel free to pop in, that one is intended as a judgement-free zone to ask questions about the RE model.)
This is a harmless curiosity in the case of flat earth, but the spread of distrust in science is extremely dangerous, in particular when it comes to climate change/biodiversity collapse/...
