Flat earthers have an answer for every scientific question posed. Now suppose NASA Is faking every video etc.. There's no way Americas rivals Soviets, North Korea etc.. who have been or have satellites in space would collude with America to hide such information.

But then they come back and try to say that the Russians are trying to tell them the truth, but the information is getting suppressed before it gets to them (after all, how many of them have personally spoke with a leader in a foreign government, and if so, how do they know that the person they spoke to wasn't a fake planted by the "establishment"?)

I still think that this movement is a big gag, that 99% of the members are in on (something like the Church of the SubGenius).

Not to mention that there is absolutely no incentive to fake round-Earth photos. What could anyone possibly have to gain from that?
