My biggest issues with flat earthers is that
A) when hitting an impasse and can't defend a point they resort to 'you're being lied to and refuse to see it'. Such a vague and unprovable statement and one that closes discussion. But allows them a safety net in every conversation.
B) they call others close minded, while also refusing to consider they may have it wrong as well.
C) anyone that doesn't immediately accept their premise is automatically available for insult and criticism. Again, closing off discussion.
The biggest enemy of flat earthers is not brainwashing or 'the koolaid'. It's themselves.
