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!
How in the world does FE give cause to stop digging any more than "the CIA assassinated JFK" or "vaccines cause autism"?
They don't have to 100% stop 100% of the people, just enough to make those that continue digging dismissible, people are hardwired to lie to themselves and being 'right' is a powerful feeling(pretty much all socials on every topic proves this....)
It's all about the numbers and the traction, people are barely awake enough to be willing to sorta start thinking there might be something to the 2 other examples you mentioned........
It's a variation of the whole 'you don't have to fool all of the people all of the time, just enough of the people enough of the time' thing, same concept applies to rather a lot unfortunately...
