flat earthers are only unified by the belief that the globe model is fake.

they all pick and choose which models they like, based on what conspiracy theories they subscribe to, and what "evidence" they believe in.

for example the model i described fits in well with hollow earth conspiracies like annunaki or lizzard people and "nasa hides the poles to cover up the truth"

and when they are confronted with evidence that disproves one of their models its suddenly a strawman that no real flat earther believes in. and they pull out a different model that is entirely designed around addressing that one issue. (rinse and repeat if you disprove the next model)
