I looked into flat earth. My take away is that it's used to discredit real conspiracy.

The earth isnt flat, but flat earthers bring up interesting talking points.

Like why is no one allowed in Antarctica?

I think flat earth is used to end the conversation there. But it's hiding the real answer. My guess is there and an elite civilization there, and they don't want people finding out.

Remember when fit bit data was hacked, and it shows a lot of activity in Antarctica.

Antarctica is perfect for hiding a civilization. It's isolated, and you can use the temperature difference that a contained city can produces vs the cold weather to produce energy (Nitinol turbines).

And at the same time, they can be like oh you believe in Q, I bet you also think the earth is flat.

I think flat earth is pushed here hard by bad actors, granted I'm sure a chunk actually believe it.
