Bang! If the earth is flat, how can you measure heights and distances across the horizon, a simple task that has been done daily for hundreds of years by sailors all around the world?

Ships are fake and the sailors are in on the lie, together with all the pilots.
Why spend the time or energy trying to "refute" trolls and paid shills?

Wait, who the fuck would pay for FE-shills?

people interested in making all conspiratards look bad
it's the same as the 9/11 troofers but that one has already run its course so they've switched tactics

And we see the (surprisingly rare) meta-conspiracy theory.

I actually buy this more than any one conspiracy theory. The production of rediculous theories discredits all of them, allowing powers to get away with stuff.

I might buy that is more people see the idiot conspiracy theories as being wrong. I'm not sure it makes sense to try and discredit conspiratorial thinking by introducing more conspiracy theories that people buy into.

It's bullshit, read about psychology research. Conspiracy theories, even that one, come up so often because it's been found that thinking of them and understanding them is like sugar to the brain.
Of course that doesn't mean that all conspiracy theories are false, for example the DNC was indeed conspiring against Bernie, but it does mean that in general unless you have a very big reason to believe them they should be dismissed

That's too crazy to possibly be true.
People are idiots and they have a tendency to say idiotic shit.
You can't discredit conspiracy theories by trying to saturate the market with stupidity.
The reason conspiracy theories all fall flat is because not one of them can stand on their own merits. They're usually poorly researched or entirely fabricated.
A conspiracy theorist could simply say that what the equations are calculating is the distortion of light happening due to whatever shit they can come up with. You can beat them with arguments, they are like women of liberals.
serious questions. how do flat earthers explain constellation moving in the night sky and how come some of them are only visible in the northern hemisphere and some of them in the southern hemisphere ?
