    Putting aside the insanity that’s at surface level, why put all zeros for your zip code?

    Like, in their delusional world I get that SSNs are some ownership tool, contract or reference to their secret corporation, but zip codes are a place. If you’re putting down your address, the zip code just makes it easier for mail to reach you.

    Of all their bullshit, this is the one that totally breaks me.

      Possibly because a zip code implies you live in the US instead of your own sovereign state.

      Or something…probably giving these folks too much credit here…

        Yeah, I think it gets to a point wherethe just figure everything’s a trap so these arguments become easier as they go along.

        Zip codes are a way to admit that I’m in the US, SSN is me saying I’m their property, license plates mean my car is really theirs, etc.

        Except it’s all good when a notary “verifies” their claims, I haven’t really seen an argument against using notary services in a country they don’t recognize as their own.

          Hah good point.

          I wonder if notaries are rationalized with “logic” like, “I signed it therefore it is legally binding in my sovereign country, and it is notarized in your country therefore it is legally binding in both our countries and you have to do what I say”?

          Nevermind that’s not remotely how the world works…

        Coming from Canada sometimes you just put all zeros for zip codes if asked. It’s a special zip code used for those cases. So not entirely crazy I guess.

        Of course you can’t fill an employment form, but if you use a credit card from another country for example, the zip code is all zeros.
