    It’s astonishing to me that people don’t give up the whole sovcit thing once it backfires horribly.

    “Yeah I sent them a letter saying I don’t owe them anything and now I have debt collectors after me.”

    “I told the courts I can’t be summoned cuz I’m a living person and now there’s a warrent out for my arrest!”

    “I told the cop I’m not a citizen so I’m not beholden to their laws but I just got tased and thrown in jail!!”

    “I told the judge I wanted to contest his jurisdiction but he still sentenced me to jail!!! Wtf!!”

    At any point does it cross their minds that maybe they were lied to or take advantage of? Not once?? It’s so incredible. Stuff like this is why I got really interested in psychology and trying to learn about the human condition but then I found out actual psychology jobs aren’t really about that so I work in a metal fabrication shop now. Idk I guess if you’re reading this remember to stay hydrated.

    Also this guy. He’s special, and I worry about his kids.

      “Attempting to summons me but I’m alive not dead” made my morning—hilarious. On the flipside, actually dealing with these so willfully obtuse people must be maddening.

      My person = me. Presumably if I punch him I can’t get done for assault as he isn’t himself and doesn’t really exist. Muppet.

        His kids I honestly worry about. One time they tried to tow his wife’s van because of him trying some dumb cancellation of debt nonsense he was doing. It’s one thing when a single weirdo does this, but the kids are actually in danger.

        I had a coworker many years ago who had ultra religious parents, who haughtily told her they would not attend her wedding in the future as her boyfriend wasn’t Christian enough for them, but they also took out credit cards in her name and racked them up sky high. These fringe belief people are really dangerous.

      For most of these that I see, I can kind of make sense of what they are going for, even though it’s all complete nonsense but this one has me stumped.

        I’ve worked helpdesk and I got a knack to understand wtf someone is talking about.

        You see, you summon spirits of dead people to appear, like when you do a séance.

        They are not dead, so they just need an invite.

        Which is obviously wrong because you don’t get an invite to appear in court, they should have requested an order or a mandate to appear.

      A small bag is great for carrying dice for DnD. SovCits should start recruiting whatever fantasy tabletop role-playing gamers.

    Is a small bag the Sovereign version of a minecraft bundle (equally non real)

      That’s the only piece I can’t figure here. What is “a small bag” in this context? I know it’s some imaginary thing but usually I at least understand what they’re doing.

        A “bag” in slang terms is a lump-sum of money. I think he believes that since he already “tried” paying them, but was refused (as it was already with collections), that he is somehow going to be able to turn his debt into money.

        Don’t ask me to clarify anymore. I had to hit myself in the head really hard to make that much sense of it.

          I should have seen that and you’re absolutely right. Appreciate it!
