If the point trying to be made is that normies are turned off being red-pilled because of what they consider "silly" conspiracies, flat Earth is not the only one they consider "silly". Not by far.
Just because the mods here have a particular dislike of flat earth doesn't make FE any more "silly" in the minds of normies than any other conspiracies.
I'm sure if you went around to other groups that concerned "conspiracy theories", depending on the personal beliefs of the mods in each, you could re-use that meme and just switch out the subject of the second panel with any of the conspiracies listed in the first panel, and it would go over just as well.
For example, I used to chat in a group that didn't mind flat earthers, but they absolutely despised people who believed in past lives.
Just to be clear, I'm not a FE believer. So there's no need to try to convince me I'm wrong about that.
I just think it's silly that FE has been selected to be ridiculed here when there have been some really wacky ass conspiracies welcomed with open arms
Its honestly, because there is so much clear evidence that the earth isn't flat and also as any engineer can tell you: you have to take the curvature of the earth and gravity into account when making the calculations for most of the things that make our industrial society function.
