This is the first sovcit I think I understand. Don't mistake me, they're still fucking wrong and dumb as dirt, but I finally get what they want.
They want to be able drive drunk and speed and not get pulled over for it.
They want to be able to load up on credit card debt and not have to pay it off.
They want all the imaginary privileges they can muster, but take no responsibility for anything they do.
It even kinda makes sense. If a company C-levels can get away with what's essentially several thousand counts of manslaughter because it wasn't any one person, it's this fictional legal entity that doesn't really exist and the government just gives it millions whenever it's in trouble - why don't we all do it?
The way that I've seen it, they see the legal system as this complicated thing that few people really understand, with those who get away with bad things hiding behind fancy words which get them out of trouble.
So they got fancy words of their own which they can use back, just like Harry Potter.
It's the American dream
I think that sovereign citizens are basically like evangelicals. They know the special words and others don’t. If you know them then you can do anything. Everyone else is an idiot
