“Chile does not exist”: the disconcerting publication of a flat land that has gone viral on the networks | the Chronicle

If we refer to conspiracy theories, the flat burrows, those who defend that our planet is flat and not a sphere flattened at the poles, had been somewhat forgotten after new conspiracies emerged, as is the case with those who make false and crazy conjectures about vaccines against the Covid-19 and especially everything that surrounds it the disease. However, the Flat Earth conspirators have returned to the fore and with more puzzling claims.

In a Facebook group, in which several earthlings were “find” to discuss and share messages and thoughts regarding the shape of the Earth, in particular one user went above and beyond everyone and ensured that Chile does not exist, it is not real. In this sense, the conspirators supported this unusual statement with which the photos of the country “They would look like they were made by a computer” and that all the inhabitants of the country seemed “actors”.

This is a screenshot circulating on Twitter and Reddit, which was taken from Facebook group Tierra Plana- Spain, where one user, with the name censored, said: “I watched this documentary from Chile and it is increasingly clear to me that Chile does not exist.”

In his argument, he clarified that “The houses look like cardboard and people can be seen as actors because sometimes they are even looking at the camera”. In addition, he assured that he does not know anyone who has ever been to this country. This crazy idea seems to be taken from one of the paragraphs of “Morel’s invention” of Bioy Casares, but no, it’s not literature, it’s just a real life statement, totally baffling.

“I’ve seen a few photos, but they’re definitely CGI (Computer Generated Image). I’ve been taught maps of Chile all my life, explaining that it’s a country in South America. But in my research, I discovered that not everyone who talks about who has been in Chile can prove it. What do you think? ”added the flatter and the denier.

Although we intended to enter this Facebook group to see exactly what other followers of this doctrine were thinking, unfortunately we find that the group is closed.

The way The Guardian published in 2017 that another group of earthlings had made a joke or “troleo” similar. Doctrinaires asserted that Finland and the Italian region of Molise did not exist.

For their part, the Chilean media The third, in a way to mock the Flat Earthers, assured that “Chile is real”. “At least that’s what many of us feel when we wake up and live in this country every day.”they quarreled.

What is flat grounding?

Flat Earth is a conspiracy belief that the Earth is flat. It reached its peak in the Dark Ages, in the Middle Ages. As science consolidated itself on religious precepts, it turned out that our planet is “A sphere flattened at the poles”, or which has a shape similar to this geometric body.

However, over the past five years, flat Earth groups have come out of the crossroads of science and have claimed it is all a sham, and have argued that the earth does not revolve around the sun and is flat. In addition, they claim that it is surrounded by a giant wall of ice which contains sea water. Yes, similar to fiction The iron Throne.

The Flat Earthers believe that all images sent by NASA and other space agencies showing the Earth from space are fake or that they belong to a Hollywood production.

In 2020, a group of people who defend this belief had planned to travel to Antarctica to “find” that such a giant wall of ice exists and reveals this planet. It is “plan”. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made such a trip to Earth’s South Pole impossible.

Mike Hugues, a famous defender of this doctrine died in February 2020 after having a fatal accident, when his homemade rocket collided with which he tried to show that the Earth is flat. The accident happened yesterday near Barstow (California) after the steam engine in which he was traveling collapsed from a great height.
