I guess we could technically “view” that wall of text, rather than read it. That’s pretty much what I did. Point taken.

“Viewers” are consumers of visual media, like television. What you mean is “readers” - consumers of text. Is the rest of the manifesto this stupid?

You might have gotten a more positive reaction if you didn’t start by insulting the people you’re trying to recruit. It’s no wonder most people don’t have a positive conception of anarchy, to the extent that they are aware of it at all, when its proponents are so off-putting.

Boo. Your manifesto sucks. Nobody wants to read it. Stop copy/pasting it.

This image is a parody of flat earth created by someone the flat earthers would call a globularist.

There are two “real” flat earth models. One is similar to this image, but the earth is encased in a dome on which the celestial objects ride. There is no outer space in this model, so there is no “other side” of the earth (or side walls for goats to tramp around).

The other model is an infinite plane. Like the first model, the North Pole is in the center and Antarctica forms an ice wall around the perimeter of the known earth. The government doesn’t want you to know about the lands beyond the wall, so they push the round earth lie.

As far as gravity is concerned, flat earthers often do reject the theory because it doesn’t fit well into their models. Some believe the earth is constantly accelerating upward at 1g, explaining the force we feel. If this is the case, we will exceed the speed of light after only 30 million years! Good thing the earth is only a few thousand year old.

Why would he lie? Is there a real threat of punishment?

No, you matter. I take it back.

 

When is the best time to press the button?

Wait until the leading team takes control, then press immediately. Let other teams ride out most of the full 15 minutes. If you are on the leading team, press immediately when the second place team takes control, and let the bottom 2 teams (and your own) ride.
