    I always find it baffling why they think avoiding to state their name is somehow helpful. Do they believe that the court will just say “well, tell your mister NAME that he is guilty and has to go to prison once we actually find him” ?

      They unironically believe that the government has no power to enforce laws against real living breathing people and that they can only enforce laws against legal fictions. All they have to do is ensure their real person is always kept separate from their legal fiction and they don’t need to follow laws.

      To them, acknowledging your name (sometimes only your name in ALL CAPS) is the same as combining your real person with the legal fiction and must be avoided at all costs. In courts, they will only ever say they are representing a legal entity and will never acknowledge they are representing themselves as that is the same as combining the real with the fiction.

      None of this works because the base premise that the government can’t enforce laws against living breathing people is untrue.

        Or the fact that any organization big enough to run a country can effectively do whatever it wants so long as they don’t trigger a popular uprising.

      Essentially, sovcits don’t understand how the legal system works and think judges are bound by the sovcit’s personal interpretation of the literal text. They take this right down to the constitution and common law, ignoring precedent and case law.

        They even draw on the Articles of Confederation. That thing that was famously superceded by the constitution.

      It looks like they are treating this like magic. Say the incantation properly and vanquish your foes. If your enemy learns your name they can cast spells on you hurting you.

      Not stating their name gets them (or at least their strawman) extra charges. Eventually their strawman will have enough magical powers to overcome any obstacle! /s
