    Nah, these are people with virtually no education, usually from cities, who are party to the criminal justice system. In other words they are completely fucked and desperate to begin with, and someone offers to sell them these tricks. Can be affluent libertarian minded dumbasses, also with no education, such as the people as you describe, though in my own experience virtually every single one was the former.

        It is sad. They people are mostly victims of a mail order scam that’s been around so long the original scammers have long absconded. It’s fascinating how it’s still so prevelent, despite a 99.99% failure rate.
