Behind the Curve (netflix)
I watched this last night. It's a documentary following legitimate Flat Earthers and their various hypothesis. Generally speaking, it's unintentionally hilarious. While having the flat earth society on show, it also features a number of legitimate scientists who are there to be the "serious" people, and also to point out who absurd the flat earth theory is. One thing that is highlighted is that being a flat earther doesn't mean you are "stupid", as to be fair some of them come up with some pretty good ideas in an attempt to prove their point [Spoiler: They fail in doing so, and prove the world is round....Twice] but they are good ideas non-the-less. There is also the idea the most Flat Earths are "out casts" in some way or another and essentially use this "belief" to find a community to be a part of.
That being said, as with all these things, it's a slippery slope. For example: One guy who believe the earth to be flat, thinks its some form of "control" that 'They' have over us. As such it becomes a case of "Well...what else are 'they' lying about?" and as such he is anti-Vaccine and an evolution denier. Are these people also religious? I'm not entirely sure, but there were hints as to them being believers of some kind, due to odd words/phrases being used at times.
It's interesting, infuriating and again unintentionally, hilarious.
