🔍 Deep Dive: BeTheChange (Nathan Thompson)

Lore

Founder of the largest flat Earth Facebook group and self-styled 'Flat Smacker.' Nathan blends biblical cosmology with confrontational outreach, often targeting NASA employees and mainstream science advocates. His methods—ranging from street debates to surprise encounters—earned him both fame and infamy within the movement. Despite early prominence, he experienced a falling out with several fellow Flerfs over leadership disputes and credibility concerns. Recently re-emerged with renewed zeal, though his debating skills remain widely criticized.

Trivia

Arrested in South Carolina for shouting flat Earth claims at elementary school children through a playground fence. Claims dinosaurs are fabricated and heliocentrism is sun worship. Known for dodging debates with credentialed experts and allegedly stealing from a fellow Flerf. His catchphrase 'Flat Smack!' became a meme in both supporter and skeptic circles.
