      Lots of countries have a variant of these crazies. e.g. Freemen of the Land in the UK, Ireland & commonwealth, Reichsburger in Germany. It all boils down to the same thing - very, very stupid people think they can steal property, dodge taxes or get out of legal trouble with pseudo legal incantations based on misinterpretation of obscure treaties or defunct laws. And naturally what happens is they miraculously transform minor infractions into massive fines and actual prison time. Very, very stupid people and occasionally very dangerous.

        ‘Reichsburger’ sounds like a fast food item

        “Hello let me get one Reichsburger with cheese” “Do you want fries with that?”

        It’s really successful psy op propaganda. Divide and conquer. Make people fight against their own country from within, if you’re lucky you won’t have to fire a single bullet, just fan the flames until the country burns itself to the ground.

        You know who.
