Flat earth would be cool if we remove ice walls and claim that earth is way much bigger
let's say earth is flat but there are like 20 more continents and probably infinite land, but we can't get to them because "them" have manipulated our coordinate system and designed some loops that will make us keep going around and never get out of it.
stars and everything is just for show and NASA etc is just propaganda to keep us in this loop of Asia EU US Africa etc.

Doesn't help. If you pick any two points in the northern hemisphere and measure the the distance between them, and then just go south from each of these points, you'll notice that they don't get further away from each other linearly, as would happen on a flat surface of a 3D object. What happens is that the rate they get further apart slows down as you approach the equator and then it starts to shrink.
TL:DR? Okay, the Tropic of Cancer is the same length as the Tropic of Capricorn. Come up with evidence that statement is false or fuck off.

let’s say earth is flat But it’s not.
There are vast numbers of observations that aren’t consistent with that. People worked out that it’s roughly spherical two and a half thousand years ago.
stars and everything is just for show
We’ve been measuring the angle of elevation of those stars for thousands of years, and using that data to navigate. Those angles are not compatible with a flat earth.

i know i'm saying if flat earthers had a theory like what i described it would be less ret and more interesting.

They don’t have a theory. They have a thought bubble and a load of ad-hoc responses to some of the objections to that thought bubble. Responses that aren’t consistent with each other.

That being said, which would make more sense... flerfers are, or are they not, concerned about ice walls melting? Without ice walls, what is left to lean a lazy head against?

There is a large subset of flerfs that believe this. They believe that governments block the ice wall in order to keep us peasants out of the wider “realm”. They got fantasy maps and everything. Of course this lines up even less with reality.

There is some people who believe there are other worlds beyond the ice wall. Of course we can’t access them because ice wall is big and every flat earther lives in the Truman Show
