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.
I've seen exactly one in all my sovcit observations who admitted it didn't work, and they chucked him out of the group. He ended up evicted for not paying rent, because he decided he had paid enough rent, and 20K in debt.
Damn, his grievances are real and relatable. He's clearly fed up with the system, as we all are, and sadly that led him to buy into lies people told him, based on the thin hope that he might have some modicum of power over his situation.
I get it, this system is absolutely oppressive. It's hard to accept being on the low end of such a massive power imbalance. It doesn't excuse the sov cit movement, but I definitely feel the pain this guy is going through.
