The Flat-Earth community is at all-out war with itself. [View all]
It is fractioning more and more into rivalling factions fighting over followers, Youtube-viewers and donations.
There are a few Flat-Earthers who have tried to position themselves as THE unofficial leader of the FE-community, trying to push their pet-theory as the way how things really are.
Their problem is, the war over followers and donors has escalated to the unthinkable: Criticizing the pet-theory of a fellow Flat-Earther.
There used to be an unspoken rule that you do not attack the belief of a fellow crank. You were supposed to respond with a diplomatic "Yeah, you could be right."
But now they have started scrutinizing the pet-theories of others (not their own, of course), and as the pet-theories of others inevitably fall apart, the attacks start.
The FE-community is now at a point where these factions accuse each other of being unscientific hacks and/or double-agents of the deep state trying to make Flat-Eartherism look bad.
