This a version of the general right-wing paranoia. They do not seem to believe that things "just happen," in this case things like Adam Smith's "invisible hand." There must be some "central committee" somewhere, wringing their hands in fiendish glee as they plot to flood the shelves of stores and posters of advertising with GLOBES. It can't just be markets, reflecting the fact that we live on a globe and it is important to us. It can't be the will of the people ensuring abortion rights in Ohio, it must be a cabal of demons. Everything is a PLOT.
All of a sudden I think I know how a kindergarten teacher feels after a bad day.
You've GOT to listen to the videos in the original twang (with respect, I have one too). At one point in the older one she points at some bric-a-brac behind her and says, "this would be a globe if I were a normal person." Yep.
I keep getting Kandiss Taylor confused with Katniss Everdene. I don't know why. I doubt Ms. Taylor would survive the first five minutes of the hunger games. And Katniss probably does believe the world is roughly globular.
Hey ... that is not a recent idea, dopey. Every prince in Europe had a globe of the world (short on detail and accuracy, but a globe) in his royal library before Columbus set out to find a way to Asia by sailing west. Generations of fifth grade teachers told their classes that Columbus was mocked and reckoned crazy because he thought the world was round, but he wasn't, every educated person already knew it. So did various savvy ancient Greeks. Aristotle, Eratosthenes, I forget who else - but Ms. Taylor would probably stamp her foot and say, "Ignorant heathens! They don't count!"
Thanks a bunch Al Gore for building the means for unhinged nutters like Ms. Taylor to decompensate spectacularly out in front of everybody and gather up like out-of-their-minded followers. After all, what has Reality ever done for us, lately?

"Why (WHAH?) are we seeing globes everywhere?"
Up in Oregon, we call them "tits."

Same old story. https://photos.fife.usercontent.google.com/pw/ADCreHc4IBrs7PRqw-DT4UdVAQubF6HBJ_mgP-iTefDa7qHCsWV5sV4jueRJ=w850-h400-s-no-gm?authuser=1
Someone tell the London HUA they need to re name this place. https://londonhuawiki.wpi.edu/index.php/The_Globe_Theater
Sweater midriffs! WTH!? I just can't with that.
I'm trying to follow the logic:
* Kandiss says that many stores sell globes.
* The person she 's talking to notices that this is indeed true.
* Therefore, that person assumes that Kandiss' entire argument must also be true.
* Step 5: profit!
SMH. No wonder there are Republicans.
Is Kandiss Taylor a religious person? Does she believe in the Great A'Tuan? If not, why not?
Enquiring minds want to know.

Lol my son has one of those Nordstrom Rack NASA shirts. Also a globe. OMG they've gotten to him!
Globular earth is worth billions a month, but just how lucrative is the flat earth game and how do I break in to the market?
Ever wonder why Earth is always represented as a globe? And why is pizza flat? They won’t let you sell globe shaped pizza, because agenda.
Have you ever seen Earth and Pizza in the same room? I know I haven’t. They can’t fool me! . . . I need to lie down now.
My chief complaints about conspiracy theories are that they are often super lazy about plot holes and have trouble in the third act.
“Jesus Guns Babies”
geesh! that Jesus guy seems kind of rude.
The babies started it.
Can't we just shoot this woman into space? You know, to see for herself?
