Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

Some of the lies in the Flat Earth narrative seem to exist for that purpose. They are so transparently, obviously false, that they must have some other purpose than evangelism. Why would they make these claims, except to recite the creed in public for other devotees to see?

The Antarctic treaty restricts independent exploration.

Many of their comments in social media make no sense as evangelism. But they make perfect sense as community affirmation and reinforcement.

Why is watching a man and a woman have sex considered perverted? It's how we all got here, it's what we do, I say if you want to watch porn then carry on!

Millions of scientists and engineers believe the Earth is spheroid primarily because we were brainwashed by NASA.

Water doesn't bend.

Surveyors and civil engineers never account for curvature

What does it mean when someone tells you they love you and want you in their life, but doesn't want to commit?
