A group of popular flat earth YouTubers have admitted defeat against the ‘globers’ after taking a trip to Antarctica to witness the 24-hour sun.
…
“What does that mean? You guys are going to have to figure that out yourself. Don’t listen to my beliefs or my opinion, it shouldn’t matter to you. But at least you should be able to accept that the sun does exactly what these guys said as far as [it] circles the southern continent. I realise that I’ll be called a shill for just saying that, and you know what, if you’re a shill for being honest, so be it. I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun, I honestly now believe there is.”
Austin Whitsitt from Witsit Gets It conceded to viewers “we were wrong” about the 24-hour sun, but said he was still open to the earth being flat.
“Defeat” didn’t last long. I guess the grift must continue somehow. 
What I never understood is what the point of all the world’s governments lying about the shape of the Earth? Who benefits from tricking people into thinking the world is round vs flat?
Without looking into it at all, I can almost promise you it’s “the jews”
All conspiracy theories will eventually turn into antisemitism. Flat earthers got there immediately. It’s one of the first reasons they give in that documentary, Behind the Curve. The film crew goes to a convention and there’s multiple groups there blaming jews.
Yeah, it’s “the jews have set up a Truman Show style trap for humanity and are covering it up”.
It’s to promote atheism. The flat earth would be proof we live in a divine fishbowl.
keep people from venturing beyond the ice wall, or understanding that Heaven is literally just up, beyond the firmament
