    Everything I have seen about sovcits really just makes me think that their fetish is paperwork.

      I am now reminded of Ivanova’s sex scene on Babylon 5.

      “Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Tell me about your portfolio! Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes! Lie to me about your family! Oh, yes!”

    These people confuse the hell out of me. Is this a cult without a leader, and they’ve been sucked in? That does make some sense because they clearly believe they have secret knowledge and are special for knowing, which is very culty. Or are they all just extremely out of touch with the way the world works? Probably a bit of both but that still just doesnt quite add up for me.

    Obviously they hate the US government because they don’t want to be bound by its laws and customs, but they also think there’s some secret America that has all these little loopholes built in for people to use so they can still have all the benefits. Why the hell would any government, which they don’t trust, allow such things to continue? It’s somehow both deeply insane and incredibly stupid

      Basically a very loosely grouped cult. They have some “gurus” of the movement such as David Lester Straight and Malika Dulce, but no real leader. Just a bunch of lunatics misleading each other on the Internet. Somehow this ideology has endured for decades despite never working ever.

      I’m tempted to start selling meaningless certificates as sovcit catnip. I bet they don’t even question why I only take USD

        Let them know that they can’t use their United Corporation money until they have the certificates. It’s a small up front cost for a lifetime of ease.

    Letter from Specialty Response Dept.

    Seems like working there would get the award for the most interesting horrible job.

    I wonder how many times it takes for shit like this to blow up in their faces and they end up living in an unregistered van down by the river before they realize it doesn’t work.

      They go to vast lengths to make this nonsense work and it never does.

        I think so. When I was 16 and bought my first car I didn’t have enough cash left over to register it so me and a buddy decided to push it home to avoid “driving” without registration. We got stopped by the cops who told us it didn’t matter if it was running or not… if it was on a public road it had to be registered.

        Mind you, this was in Canada so I don’t know if that’s the case everywhere.

            The cop was pretty cool about it. We told him we were just going to push it to a friends house down the street so he didn’t ticket me but warned me he didn’t want to see us doing it again. As soon as he left we hopped in the car and took off lol.

    If sovereign citizens were animals, they’d be put down as an act of mercy.
