They would probably say all existing maps are fake, as they already do, and the land we call Russia or China is just somewhere else on this observed image.

The human ability to defend a held belief, despite evidence, is absurd and powerful.

You do know that 99% of flat earthers are just trolling, right?

It's kinda like a game for them.

You present hard evidence, they have to find a way around it.

That 99% seems optimistic. I genuinely think there's more people out there than you may want to believe who hold absurd convictions. I work with many of them.
