The Earth is flat. This means- in the immortal words of Adam Savage "I reject your reality and substitute my own." It means to conveniently decide that science got it wrong. Worse, they lied. After we're done laughing, we have to wonder how people believe such nonsense.
It's easy, it doesn't require any examination of life -per Socrates advice- it's simple and if there are others who think the same thing- it must be true, it was all explained in a YouTube video. Flat Earthers belong to an exclusive club. They have a truth to hold up against a web of lies, distortions and contradictions that others have been caught in. You are the one deceived and deluded. The Earth is flat. Science and a godless ideology has made life confusing and uncertain.
With this knowledge they do not have to fear or suffer from anxiety like the misguided ones. Don't you see? The world is flat, vaccines cause autism, the current pandemic is a commie plot, gravity is fiction, everything in the Holy Book is literally true. All one has to do is follow the instructions (after we figure out which of the conflicting instructions to use or ignore.)
It's no different than a glib tyrant promising a perfect society or a preacher on TV offering salvation with your donation. Eden for us, purged of those people. Hive mind combined with cult worship is a powerful drug.
The Earth is flat means someone who has traded messy, confusing reality for a safe, comfortable delusion.

Dang! I always thought it was hollow and contained an infinitely large emptiness. Or maybe a doughnut? 😸
