    Language is magic for these people, specifically the right grouping of words is supposed to be an incantation to get them out of social responsibility, and the wrong collection of words is what binds them.

    Since the state regulates “driving” of vehicles, no sovcit drives. They all “move” vehicles or “transport” vehicles.

    It’s ridiculous, because law revolves around actions independent of how anyone in specific describes those actions, but that’s the mindset of these people. Viewing their beliefs as a kind of word Tetris has at least helped me wrap my head around what could possibly give them some of their strange notions of law.

      My favorite line is “I’m not driving, I’m travelling

      Like Bruh, I guarantee he isn’t paid enough to care about semantics

      It really does sound like they can just have a high persuasion roll and get away with whatever they want.
