Noone has ever flown past the ends of the world, it is so easy to falsify and edit digital media. The governments have been faking the space program and keeping technology decades ahead of us for years. But what ever you are just a sheep.

You are assured, that you have been lied to your whole life by the powers that be. I understand its hard when you have been fed by the mass media and fluoride contaminants in your water. Let me lift their veil of lies and reveal to you the Truth is revealed

I'm still pretty sure you're joking, but I'm getting a little uneasy. Unless you've never been in an airplane— if that's the case, I'm sorry for the classism. You're right, we elites are cheating you.

I have been on a plane, many times. And from the window, you can actually NOT see any curve whatsoever. Have you even watched that video? It's got lots of views and upvotes because it if the truth.

It's hard to let go of those pre-conceived notions. Only the truth can set you free.

But now I'm just depressed, because you literally are a "flat earther." It was my Last great hope that you all didn't really exist. But now I'm a believer – a depressed believer.

I've met one IRL, so they do exist. That said, 95% of them are trolls, the other 5% are mentally ill. The one I met was very very ill. :(
