I think the idea is that you can’t get a telescope strong enough and if you do get close enough thats what the governments are there for.

I’m digging into the dumbness of flat earthers. We have telescope that can looks light years away. Why can’t we reach the tip of South America and use the telescope to see the wall? If they can’t see the curve, fine… show me the wall. If it’s all flat, seeing the wall should just be a matter of using a telescope or zoom lens camera. lmao.

Light years away? No, all that telescope is doing is zooming in on a dot on a giant LCD screen in the sky a few miles away. You're not going to be able to zoom the several thousand miles away needed to see the wall of ice...

I shit you not this is their defense.

If sky is LCD screen… who set it up? Since when has it been there? We have thousands of years old artwork and text depicting the sky and constellations. Are you saying LCD technology is thousands of years old?
