So you're implying a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy theory.

First person I remember trying to convince me was about a decade ago, and there's been plenty of others since then. All of them conservative and believing in a mix of other popular conspiracies from 5g control, to bigfoot, to reptilians controlling the planet. These are physical people in my life that not only believe, but passionately defend their theories. I really don't think they're getting paid by a corporation to tell me about the flat earth.

It's weird that they all lean right though.
