    Sovereign Citizens are crazy. Who thinks they can live in our society, use the things our taxes built, steal from companies, not follow the rules and laws our society made and just say they are special and get to do it. These people want to be leeches. How about pay your taxes, pay for products and services you use, follow the laws and join the society. We all must live together and there are rules.

      This is basically the core of Republican ideology. Living off of the benefits of society while claiming to be 100% self made and then destroying the underpinning of that social fabric because it “isn’t needed”.

    • On another note it’s kind of nearly impossible to really at all decouple yourself from society. Even as a literal homeless person who is denied every single benefit of society you’re subject to the poaching by tax agencies (I’ve been there. Imagine building up radio tax debt when you are literally live on the streets).

        Yeah, fuckin freeloading babies. Crows repay kindness with shiny things though, so I’d take them off the list.

          During the snow storm a couple weeks ago, I put a pack of walnuts and dried fruit out for the 3 crows that are always in my yard. The next day they were staring in the window at me so I put another pack out.

          That afternoon around 100 crows were on my house pooping on everything. A week later my driveway and deck still have a solid covering of poop that the rain hasn’t been able to wash away.

        It does, except rich people just pay this stuff cos it is negligible. They avoid consiquences by throwing money at their issues in the form of lawyers. (Or just money presented by lawyers).

        These poor people have been conned into thinking that the law doesnt apply to them or worse still there is some super secret underground law that only the elite know. Truth is, in civil law with enough money and time there are no consequences because your oponant cant afford to keep fighting, and if they can by the time there is consiquences youve made so much you dont give a fuck.

        They are a bit different, the rich found out how to be leeches while still following the law (or making it seem like they do) whereas these guys are more like both leeching and shouting out loud that they are leeching

    So this person thinks they found a loophole to steal gas and power, and all they have to do is an “I said so” spell, but that the people they’re stealing from can’t and won’t just “I said so” spell right back? “How can I get these people and the cops to stop caring about my theft attempts?”

    Even if they kept the police off of their property, the power company would just disconnect the wires coming into their property. Even with the sovcit magic it wouldn’t work.

      Yknow, I kinda hate this smugness about people who just are really awful sick of the constant degradation of rights. Let him have his meters. let him do his own thing. Just shut the power off at the property line. It’s all made up bullshit on paper anyways, everyone else just subscribes to the popular model.

        Except that’s not how things work. Nobody is say the way it works is good. But living in your own world and pretending things work differently doesn’t make it so and there are consequences.

      Oh but that would cost money to install. Why do that when you can just steal and spew some nonsense about “private” property.

    I feel like if you’re gonna go this hard on being a sovereign citizen, you might as well start actually learning and practicing law
