Such a fantasy. This is exactly how it happens. And they literally just respond to the “debunking” post with garbage and move on. It’s not about information, it’s about emotion and tribe.

Not always.
I remember scrolling through the flat-earhers forum once and I was amazed how short all the arguments have been. The conversation was usually like:
- Look, the Earth is really flat, I've measured the visible height of such-and-such mountain from such-and-such place and it's way higher than should've been.
- Man, you got the distance wrong. Look at google map, you're off by X hundred miles. Try doing your calculations with the correct numbers
- Fuck off, I've got better things to do in my life than replying your stupid messages
