I'm not claiming any belief in my comment. I am merely pointing out the issues of citing sources we'd normally hold suspect, just because they so happen to align with OP's preferred take on the matter.
Also you're creating a false dichotomy on an opinion you're assuming that I have. Even if I were to argue for the case of flat earth, that doesn't mean I can't believe Q. That is fucking absurd and lacks any sort of logical thinking.
Q also said misinformation is necessary. Q also had to be extremely smart and focused on what message they were transmitting. It would be tactically idiotic for Q to also promote flat earth even if they knew it to be true. That would only serve to drag down the movement and add another major point of detraction against them.
I mean it doesn’t just align with OP’s preferred take, that’s a very skewed and neglectful portrayal. Most importantly, it aligns with Q post as well, and again being that this a Q board - it should be discussed. What would necessitate misinformation of the shape of the Earth? Cant you make the same claim that you made of OP, that you are designating this particular Q post misinformation because it doesn’t align with your take? It’s not a false dichotomy, you either follow and believe Q posts or you partially do by picking and choosing the ones (Q posts) you want to follow or substantiates your prior personal beliefs.
Okay maybe not OP specifically, as I haven't seen his posts on the matter, nor did he present an opinion along with the post. However, I agree with you on the "it should be discussed part", but what you're missing is the open hypocrisy of the mods. Idk if you've noticed, but mods such as catsfive are very aggressive with mocking and banning people talking about this subject. Then the reasoning provided is, "This is a Q focused board" and to take these sorts of subjects to conspiracies.win.
Yet, in this case we have someone posting about the same exact topic, to a mainstream news source with the only major difference being that the source is mocking the flat earther viewpoint. However, instead of removing the post or issuing a ban because "This is a Q focused board", the post is instead stickied by a mod. That's outright hypocrisy. I don't think any case should result in a removal or a ban, and I damn sure don't think either case for or against should be stickied. I agree with you, it should be open for discussion.
"What would necessitate misinformation of the shape of the Earth?"
I already explained this. Even if Q believed the Earth to be flat, they gain no benefit by talking about it. It doesn't help serve the main purpose of the movement, and it only adds even more negative weight. Its the same thing with JFK Jr. being alive. Even if that theory were true, Q would gain no benefit and only negatives in perpetuating it. Because optics are something Q repeatedly said to be important.
