But there is, perhaps, an over-willingness to treat them as harmless cranks, as though we can start from their shared frustrations with the world and just gently nudge them in a more sensible direction.
These common anxieties are a shared coordinate that is, I think, far more superficial than we would want it to be, because, while we're all worried and skeptical [about] what people in power are doing, Flat Earthers have very, very different ideas about who's in power and what they're trying to do with it.

Flat Earthers have an agenda.
