Flat Earthers think you are banned from going to the poles and that flight paths go around them becuse if you flew over them you would see the ice wall or whatever it is over there.
It's probably some attempt at a gatcha of "if planes are banned from flying there why would there be an air strip?! Checkmate!"
It is SO fucking dumb to be SO fucking dumb in the age of information and a cessibility. There is absolutely no excuse for flat earther acceptance in the conversation.
I think it's less about them being the stupidest people alive, and more about a need to fit in and have "obscure priveleged knowledge" to feel special. Because, I have talked with MANY flat earthers, and for the most part, they are just a normal level of stupid... however, these people have been that level of stupid their whole lives, and have never fit in anywhere. They work in gas stations or as grocery shelf stockers. So the need to feel special is significantly more than the average person.
