This strikes me as similar to flat earth, in that if you even bothered to think about it for a minute you'd realize it couldn't possibly be the case.
Is there a massive global conspiracy involving hundreds of millions of people which doesn't benefit anyone...hmm... probably not.
Or, could we have a civilization if people could just opt out of any responsibility or obligations...hmm... probably not.
I disagree it makes sense in a just but crazy world view.
How many times have you not heard a rich person got Scot free? Or how they seems to get so many benefits that you and I don't get.
It always seems to involved with lawyers. A group of people that using very specific language.
Maybe they bake in loopholes were you can say a specific phrase. That the rich can just walk free by uttering them but you don't and end up in prison?
No, that's called money. None of this nonsense makes even an iota of sense.
Thats the thing. Sovereign Citizen stuff starts out sane.
Sane: Naval courts have a weird flags.
Insane: therefore a weird flag means a you are in a naval court
Sane: running a corporation can shield you from civil liabilities. If the corporation gets sued there is a lot less of a chance your life will be ruined.
Insane: I can do whatever I want by calling myself a corporation.
Sane: during the chaos that was the early days of the FDR first administration some accountant decided that everyone just has a sum of money for being born and the government was managing it for them.
Insane: you can tap into this temporary accounting trick from a century ago and get lots of free money.
Sane: lots of laws really do depend on everyone just agreeing what a word means. If a lawyer can shift the meaning slightly unexpected results can occur, on rare occasion.
Insane: I can drive as fast as I want as long as I say I am traveling not driving
Sane: depressingly the wealthy and powerful are often shielded from the results of their actions to an extent
Insane: I can do what I want as long as I pay off a judge.
Cargo cult logic.
Wow! That is a spot on insight I didn't notice. Good job!
Thanks, really good way of framing it.
