The consequences of spreading fake facts in this case are benign, so no, it's not persecution it's simply a response to how silly the position is.  A flat earth can't explain the position of the sun at nigth versus it's position during the day, unless china is on the "other side" of the earth and it earth flips completely every day.  A flat earth can't explain why the moon is round, along with the sun, along with all the other planets - unless, of course, you're going to say that they are all flat as well and just happen to be facing us perfectly so it simply "looks" like they are round.  And please, dont' ask a pilot about the eart being flat, you'll get more "persecution" as they laugh in your face.

I'll take minds like Einstein and all that came before him to shed light on our existence in this universe long before I'd take some youtubers stoking fake facts that can't even explain how we get eclipses if the earth was flat.
