The recent failed SpaceX Starship launch flushed out the "Flat Earth" retards in droves, making "FIRMAMENT" trend on Elon Musk's X.com. Is it a psyop targeting fuckwits? Yup. Check this graphic sowing the obvious #'d BOT ACCOUNTS. Each account tweeted random Flat Earth faggotry. INFORMATION WARFARE!

🧠 These people are stupid!
The Biblical "firmament" is in reference to the fixed stars. People from ancient times knew of the constellations that do not move in contrast to the planets which do. Thus they are "firm."
A launch from Cape Canaveral from up close will show it going straight up into the sky, but elsewhere, say northwest from there while viewed from a powerful telescope, that same rocket will appear going up at a slight diagonal angle. There are ways of proving a round earth without even leaving the atmosphere. But these goofballs will point to the UN logo and claim that it's a disk with the North Pole in the center (even though that very logo shows the continents wrapping around a sphere).
Another fun fact, the Ancient Greek word “planetes” appropriately means wanderers.
This is absolutely 100% untrue. The understanding of the movement of constellations, also known as precession, has been recognized by many ancient civilizations, including the Persians, Sumerians, Babylonians, Ancient Greeks, and the Maya... The Ancient Greeks, in particular, had a term for it, "the Great Year," described by Plato. Hipparchus is often credited with discovering the precession of the equinoxes around 150 BC. The Maya's Long Count calendar also reflects an awareness of astronomical cycles that span vast periods. This knowledge was often used in the context of astrology, agriculture, and the timing of religious ceremonies.
LOL, the UN logo... these tards also isolate isometric navigation maps as "proof that teh US Navy knew the Earth was flat back in the 40s" without realizing that these are NAVIGATION maps (for use in paper, with protractors, while flying). Tards. I swear to God I'm going to get every single one of them.
It looks like there are still plenty of Flat Earthers on this forum you've yet to get rid of. That VaccinesCauseSIDS guy is one of them and I am pretty sure I remember him going on about FE in the past. It's easy for a shill to drive the point of something most people here can agree on, such as vaccines damaging children, to gain a high forum score, get a Pepe icon, etc. and then push Flat Earth crap. Perfect way to embarrass the Q movement, even while Q said directly that the earth is not flat.
That tard and I hashed out an agreement last year, and I told him that if he toned the FE down and stayed focused on GAW, he'd be OK. But I start seeing flat earth and other dogshit conspiracies infecting the board. Like clockwork, out they come
While I do think making a FE honey pot every few months is a pretty ingenious idea, was he talking about it before this thread? I've personally never seen him mention it before, and his stuff is usually pretty good.
It is absolutely saying the Earth is flat
Hmmm. Multilingual pedes will understand the significance and relevance of translation and cultural context.
Here's one interesting tidbit:
So let's note: "Firmament" is an English word, a translation. No translation is 100% 'accurate' in the sense that no translation can ever recreate the full meaning of the original.
So many folks formulate their views, their beliefs and their theological positions based on .... inaccurate translations or translations that miss certain aspects of the original meaning.
