@brother mutton the flat earth has a bit of a rebel mentality, if the flat earth is adopted by the UN , the flat earth becomes mainstream, social dynamics within the flat earth community now stop, the function of the community now has been lost.
i'll put it simple,
once you adapt to a new norm, your old norm was lost, thus the end of "that world" while people want to see zombie rise and alien invasion and the return of the killer sheep, the small changes often destroy the old world with more ease.
hence i say it is selfish in its concept, one must have a victim and a cause, easily identifiable and able to point a vinger at
but simplisticly, the farmer in afghanistan who had a rifle left over from the 80's conflict suddenly became a target of smart bombs in the 2000's
and he could be unaware of the bomb being dropped, unaware he was the target, boom bomb hits, end of the world right there
