              Just send a coupon to their CFO. Since they have no treaties with you, and you are not aware of their intentions, they HAVE to accept.

      The issue is that they don’t believe the US government is legitimate. From what I’ve gathered, they think that the real US is theirs by right, and that the entity that we know of as the government is essentially a parasitic corporation that has convinced everyone it’s the real governing body so that we fund it with our taxes. Though, even if you had a logical explanation within the confines of their worldview as to why they can’t drive without a license, they’d still pretend they had some excuse not to listen to it.

        1. US govt not real

        2. Convince people to pay taxes to fake government

        3. Fake govt has the ability to enforce laws

        4. Therefore becomes actual govt

        5. 🤔

        6. Real govt

            • Some define government just means an entity with an effective monopoly on violence in a region. So if they can and will fuck you up, then they’re a legitimate government. Everything else is just pretenses to maintain/justify that monopoly by that definition.

          Well they believe it’s parasitic in that the US somehow funds the roads, while the parasitic government company doesn’t. It’s not true, but they don’t believe the government does literally anything but take the people’s money.

              If it made sense it wouldn’t be a conspiracy theory. All it takes is one guy claiming some private good-guy billionaire has been funding the real US this whole time and they’d eat it up, throwing it at anyone who doubts them as if it’s some undeniable fact.

      Sure, it’s legal to sell them. For all the seller knows you’re just hanging them on the wall of your man cave or using them for target practice. The seller could even cover his ass with a disclaimer not to put them in a car.

      It’s the moron that actually uses them on a car that’s violating the law.
