On the other hand, belief in a widespread historical myth that has been argued by professional historians isn’t exactly ‘soveriegn citizen’ level - even if that myth has been overwhelmingly dismissed by the majority of their colleagues.

I’m not sure why you think sovereign citizen beliefs aren’t widespread. This community shows a ton of people seem to believe it. In multiple countries.

They are equally credible-sounding because they tell the person what they want to hear. SovCits are told they can get out of debt or a government fine. People who believe this are told that Muslims did something first due to their superior skills. It’s the same.
Yeah i suppose you have a point. I never think of sovcit claims as credible, but if that’s what someone needs to hear or believe in a tough time, could be a different story

I suppose where we differ then is if sovcit beliefs are ‘credible-sounding’

If someone REALLY wants to believe something, they will.
