SS: At the end of 2015, this flat earth nonsense sprang up suddenly and seemed impossible to avoid. I thought it was some kind of gag at first, especially coming from some of the yt channels I followed at the time, but they just kept on. Were they compromised or just always controlled opposition, pushing bs? Then a few years later, out of nowhere, this utterly ridiculous mudflood/Tartaria thing came along, what I would say is just another bonkers idea to make conspiracy theorists look like dummies by association and to invalidate anything that goes against the mainstream. Where did this idiocy come from? There's even a whole sub of these lunatics on reddit, people who clearly have never read a book and anything they don't understand must be magic or civilizations being erased. And for the life of me, I don't get the connection they try to make between seeing "Tartaria" on a map of Asia and somehow this has something to do with buildings in America? I can't get through entire videos of this on yt because I feel like my brain is hurting and I am getting dumber by even listening to this.
Same person/people behind both theories? Meant to discredit any truth seeker ("oh don't listen to them, they're those people who think the earth is flat and/or was coated in a thick layer of mud from space")? How do people actually fall for this nonsense?

truth is just too much for some people.
A while back I saw an interview with a physiologist about flatearthers and other fringe conspiracy theorists. She basically said that these people are generally thought of in society as outcasts simply for being contrarians in everyday life. Never positive, always looking for an edge to say gotcha even if the gotcha was false or misleading.
Then they all got on the internet found each other and started validating each other’s theories no matter how impossible or how much evidence there was to the contrary.
She even talked about how the more they validated each other the more positive in their everyday lives and they became and less likely to want to have a confrontation with others even if the conversation directly contradicts their beliefs.
They just look at a few images of the world’s fair, watch a few videos on YT and mistake this for research. One of the few “theories” that uses absence of evidence as actual evidence. Their ignorance of how construction, materials and logistics work only makes them harder to talk sense into.
One of the things I’ve heard them routinely say is “our buildings are ugly, and should look ornate like tataria/world’s fair again”. Without even considering the sheer amount of artisan laborers, and access to the same building materials that would be needed all across the world.. just to satisfy their delusions.
Some of these people even believe that at one point, all of the adults in the world were killed off to protect this secret.
Instead of including all of the data points that suggest this never happened, they assume those are all clever cover ups, and only connect dots that prove their theory. These types of people are perfectly fine with holes in their stories, because it’s only based on belief. And if you don’t believe in it, they get angry.
its more mkultra shit
by dissolving and compartmentalizing consensus reality it’s easier to warp it to your will
by familiarizing people with obviously insane conspiracy theories they’re more likely to assume the rest must be insane too and are less likely to look into them
