Flat Earthers & Space Is Fakers: Cults Who Don't Know They Are Cults
Flat earthers have a sibling you may not have heard of, the space-is-fake bunch, which has been getting nasty and pushy. Both these groups are not just fueled by misunderstanding. They are cults.

How to Reveal the Blazing Cores of Globular Clusters
Переглядів 1,5 тис.День тому
Globular clusters are like mini-galaxies with tens of thousands of closely packed stars. They are often portrayed with blazing cores like suns, the inner regions far too bright for the individual stars to be seen. But that central brightness can be lifted, and the stars at the core revealed. Let's see how. All the images used to make this video were shot at the Sky Story Observatory. Check out ...

A Deeper Dive Into Lifting Detail Out of Darkness

Every time an astrophotographer stretches a histogram to make a DSO visible, they have "lifted" the information. More integration and focused lifting can bring detail out of even the darkest objects because digital camera sensors capture information we cannot see. Let's take a deeper dive into the theory behind this, and use it to reveal the hidden structure of the most famous dark nebula: the ...

Who's dumber ? The flat earther or the big banger where everything is the result of an explosion. There's a lot of dumb out there.
This video is awesome and worded in the absolute correct way thank you , thank you ! Happy new year brother
Look man, I know it's nonsense but I don't hate these people. I actually watch some of their videos. Why? Because it's funny. Yeah, it makes me laugh. Also, there's this one guy who finds the most fascinating photos and drawings I've ever seen. Thousands of them. I mean really, who are they hurting? Are they chopping off people's heads? Are they flying planes into buildings? No, they are harmless. Now,I don't want them to pilot an airplane or program a missile using flat earth theories, but they don't bother me and I don't let them live in my head. I choose to look at it like a comedy.
THE EARTH IS FLAT!
Crap BS
It's not a cult, there's no leader. Trump isn't a cult either, he is too incompetent to run a cult. Flat Earth is a pseudoscience. We should not ridicule poor people or people who think science has become too elitist.
My brother n law is a flat earther. He used to be normal. He thinks the earth is flat, space is fake, satellites are held up by ballons, the sun is actually in our atmosphere, the moon is light, the ice wall, etc. He brings it up all the time. I don't even argue with him anymore. He's too far gone.
❤this vid iis pure propaganja! ❤❤watch: flat earth f.a.q.s eric dubay ❤❤
Eric D turned down a free trip to Antartica to keep on grifting
Chroma key, has exposed what you believe in. It's easier to fool someone than it is to convince someone that they've been fooled. It's hilarious that folks in a cult talk about folks being in a cult. That's a special type of stupid.
"Chroma key, has exposed what you believe in." Ah yes one camera being accidentally left in chromakey mode refutes all the other footage, all the personal witness accounts, all the other experiments. You wish. "It's easier to fool someone than it is to convince someone that they've been fooled." You have no idea how ironic it is for a flat earther to make this statement.
That Chroma key actually proves they didn't use a green screen. Thanks again flatty for all your help destroying flerfland
But if earth is a ball everyone on the other side would fall off 👎

Nice of you to try, but you can’t fix stupid
1 proof of the Globe 🌎🌍 . = 3 x Bitcoin
law of flerfs number 4. All flat earth challenges are fake
I messaged DERP giving him my proof. Take any desktop globe with a scale. Measure the distance across the surface between any two locations with a piece of string. Scale up that distance and find that it matches the real world known distance. How is that possible if the earth is NOT a globe? Of course if he had a shred of integrity those (alleged) 3 bitcoin would be in escrow and an independent panel set up to judge the evidence. But since DERP is a lying conman grifting a living off a useless unsecure app (that uses globe distances and co-ordinates), that will never happen.
You actually think that your telescope Can see stars at 1,000,000,000,000s of miles away or even Hundreds of years away as NASA says? Then it takes A special kind of stupid for someone to believe that your store bought telescope can see that far or any telescope could see that far. It's obvious that you Did not look at any evidence. That's why you have the mentality that you do because you looked at 0 evidence. When you zoom in to a star with your telescope If it's a good one, how does seeing stars = it's in space It's in outer space?? Because somebody told you it was Not because it is.
Flerfs have no idea how vision works.
You slept through physics at school, didn't you?
If "millions of people" have seen a midnight sun in Antarctica, why did a dozen globe zealots have to go to provide highly suspicious footage? They walk around leaving no footprints in the snow and no visible breath when they speak?!
Hilarious!! The Earth is not a giant spinning spherical water world space ball covered in lateral layers of gas spinning faster than a 9mm bullet hurtling through an infinite and expanding vacuum universe!! It's not a conspiracy but the truth that the sky is not an infinite and expanding vacuum universe!! You are being dishonest using artificial intelligence to do this video! If the Flat Earth were just a "small amount of people" you would not be doing this video!! Outer space is a blatant violation of entropic and natural law!! That's how we know space per a vacuum is fake!! Even your alleged astrophysicists admit "No one has seen the curvature of the Earth at that height (63 miles) that stuff is Flat"!! N.D.Tyson!
The Indoctrination is strong with this one…what an ass hat…if the evidence was so strong for a globe there wouldn’t be any flat earthers…every experiment and observation ever attempted to prove movement or a spherical world, has been disproven or a bust…EVERYONE
I had a coworker who was a flat earther. I told another coworker that so and so was a flat earther and the 2nd coworker said they were a flat earther too. Mind blown. I considered for a time pretending to be a flat earther and crowdfunding plane tickets going east until I landed back at my original airport and thereby having flat earther spay for my travels a ROUND the world.
Funny you’re pointing to the sky to prove what shape your ground is. Interestingly enough, ones that believe they live on a globe have never and will never show evidence of motion nor have they ever felt it themselves. No one has ever seen a curve. Globers claim you have to go high into the sky to see curve yet claim boats are going over the horizon merely 3 miles offshore. You can’t have it both ways. None of these claims you’ve presented prove globe only. None. Ironically, your title has the word cultish referencing Flat Earth. Yet Not one piece of evidence you all claim is tangible. You’re only believing what someone has told you. That alone is cultish. No flat earther claims there aren’t stars and Saturn Jupiter isn’t real, the claims are these anomalies are measurable much closer than what we’re told. Lastly, most of your flat earth claims are strawman claims. Anyone truly seeking truth will steer clear of your videos. Not one Fe believes anything you just claimed Fe believe. Shameful.
Marxism it's a philosophy, not a cult.
'The Flat Earth Society with members all over the Globe.' Probably not a true ad but it makes me laugh anyway.
I received a small refracting telescope for Christmas when I was in 6th or 7th grade. I spent hours looking at the Moon and planets. I remember replicating Galileo's tracking of the 4 largest Jovian moons.
I think there are truly some people who believe that the world is flat, but a greater majority are just contrarians. There is also a small minority which uses Flat Earth to grift people and to make money. They're sort of like the television evangelists who get you to send them your life savings promising things they could not only not ever deliver on and things of which they know nothing about.
You haven't looked deep enough into the subject! Calling someone stupid because you can't understand their thoughts while scratching on the surface doesn't exactly make you a genius. Ignorance seems to be a blessing for some people. Until you realize who benefits from it ...
The Globe Industrial Complex got to you! You're an agent of Big Globe!
Really interesting reading the comments. The flerfs keep repeating the same lines from the same script from 2015 though each and every item in their script has been incessantly debunked. Yet never has a flerf gone to a shoreline, filmed a ship disappearing over the horizon from the bottom up and, after the ship has disappeared completely over the horizon from the bottom up, zoomed it back into view. Oh, I take it back. Mark Sargent (claims to be flerf but isn’t. He’s grifting) did participate in such an experiment. After it demonstrated earth’s curvature, he shrugged and said “earth’s flat anyway.” And his idiot minions just agreed.
So Soylent Green isn't people ? 😎
Oh, is Marxism (or Marcusism as you seem to pronouce it) a cult now? Would love for you to explain that one.
It is hilarious that this guy is calling out cults. He is a mouthpiece for the SECULAR HUMANIST super cult. COntrolled by the government. Everything he believes is pseudo science.
It's flat 😊
What? Your own brain?
Most flat earthers are deeply religious followers of the Judaeo/Christian Bible. Christianity itself is a cult, and flat earthers believe the globe is a conspiracy to hide God. It's worse that you think.
You can't take pictures of space. You can take pictures of light that is received that is said to come from space. Your description of a cult makes me feel that round ball earthers are the cult.
My grandfather told me in the 1920s and 30s schools teached Flat Earth still, globe only started after world war 2. This is fact, you can read 1930s newspapers like the Boston globe of teachers being arrested for teaching the globe.
Anything 100 miles away should have a mile drop curve according to NASA and Google
The earth is alway measured flat, it has never been measured as a sphere
NASA is a cult, space is a waste of money
I’m pretty sure that the Flat Earthers are, essentially, Trolls who practice Method Acting, so they are just super committed to their Trolling, and they think it’s funny when they can motivate other people to make videos responding to their ridiculous claims in earnest. But that’s just a theory that I’ve heard elsewhere, and much like the Flat Earthers, I cannot adequately substantiate my claims here either. 🤷♂️ I appreciate you fighting the Good Fight, either way. 👍
the flat earth is easily proven without even looking at the sky.
A "Flat Earther" is not to be found in the ranks of Navigators, nor of long range Surveyors - that's because BOTH disciplines work with degrees (of curvature) as found in Latitude and Longitude.
Unfortunately according to flatearthers, telescopes are preloaded with NASA images and so you only see what the evil NASA wants you to see. The only reliable camera, according to them, is the Nikon P9000 and as expected, NASA has apparently ordered Nikon to discontinue it because it was revealing too many NASA lies. The same Nikon that has made lenses and cameras for use on NASA space missions.
Seeing how much it gets to you makes me kinda want to believe it myself - that the earth is flat or whatever the fuck. Just to piss you off and see you sneer. Not like you're all that bright yourself. Pointing out people believe something dumb seems like just a socially acceptable reason to talk down to people. Why not just call it what it is.
A life lived only to spite others is a life wasted.
@@DukeOnkled I don't disagree.
@@prometheus6474 Then why do you carry on as such?
What's even more important than none of us ever having seen any evidence of a whirling, twirling, hurling, hurtling, wibbling, wobbling, zipping, zooming, rushing, rolling, twisting, turning, spinning and spiraling space ball, spherical "planet" earth is that none of us has ever seen any evidence that "space" is what we've been told it is.
Flat Earthers think that Australia and and New Zealand don't exist and that those who claim to live there are paid NASA actors. It gets REALLY awkward when a flat Earther from Aus and NZ makes an appearance!! Lol!
I seem to recall that the flat earthers sort of took over (on you tube) the peeps who argued against what nasa portrayed as space. Any unbiased study quickly destroys the flat earth stance, but not so much about what nasa has been caught doing, repeatedly, over the years. That is what makes me think "wtf" and "why" more than anything concerning a flat earth. I myself have found more than a few strange things in nasa's mars photos straight from their own website. That being said, does the question fall back to consciousness itself, or misdirection on a level that is beyond believable? Who knows... oh wait. The shadow knows. Or the other guy down the street. One of them anyways. 😂
We can see too far bro
You guys all don't understand how this whole thing works. The moon gives its own light the sun gives its own light these are luminaries in the firmament they are not solid objects in outer space floating around. This whole thing is like a light show. There's a bunch of little lights in the sky called stars but they're not actual large gas objects or things you can land on. This whole thing is called the firmament and all the light show is in the firmament. Just take a look at any Star Trail and you will see that there's no parallax that proves that all those stars are at the same distance from us
From a practical standpoint all the stars are infinitely far away. You would not be able to see any parallax in star trails.
The moon becomes dark when it is eclipsed from sunlight . . as it enters Earth's shadow. This is known as a lunar eclipse. i doubt that you understand the phases of the moon . . maybe ask a 2nd grader for enlightment?
