    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.

    Its pretty easy to hear a credible-sounding claim and take it in, without doing the research to debunk it

    Yes, that is exactly what sovcits do.

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

        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

            If someone REALLY wants to believe something, they will.
