Modern flat Earth societies are organizations that promote the belief that the Earth is flat. Such groups date from the middle of the 20th century; some adherents are serious and some are not. Wikipedia notes that: "those who are serious are often motivated by religion or conspiracy theories".[1]
It may well be an effort, or co-opted effort, by US/UK intelligence to equate people who are interested in conspiracy theories with low intelligence, like Academic research into conspiracy believes does.
Youtube
At some point after 2013, when Obama equated climate change deniers to members of the "Flat Earth Society",[2][3] YouTube saw a surge in videos that promote this thinking. Like Elsagate, the Youtube system made recommendations for these videos on a noticeable scale out of nowhere, but most likely primarily for those who watched conspiracy videos before.[citation needed]

Gaslighting | “This is also the model for the greater imperialist propaganda construct, not just with regard to Syria but with Russia, North Korea, Iran, and any other insolent government which refuses to bow to American supremacist agendas. It works like this: first, the oligarch-owned establishment media, which itself is chock full of Council on Foreign Relations members, uses other warmongering think tanks and its own massive funding to force deep state psyops like Russiagate and “Saddam has WMDs” into becoming the mainstream narrative. Second, they use the mainstream, widely-accepted status of this manufactured narrative to paint anyone who questions it as a mentally defective tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist. It’s a perfect scheme. The mass media has given a few elites the ability to effectively turn a false story that they themselves invented into an established fact so broadly accepted that anyone who doubts it can be painted in the exact same light as someone who doubts the roundness of the Earth. The illusion of unanimous agreement is so complete that blatant establishment psyops are placed on the same level as settled scientific fact, even though it’s made of little else but highly paid pundits making authoritative assertions in confident tones of voice day after day.” | Caitlin Johnstone | 12 February 2018 |
