SovCits are all like this: they want the benefits of living in our society but they don’t want to pay any of the costs. They want to drive on the roads, but not pay taxes or vehicle registration. They want utilities like electricity and water, but not pay the bills. They think they’re entitled to stuff without cost. They don’t even want to pay their child support.
SovCits think words have an inherent magical power and knowing the right words gives them more power than if some other rando person. Their entitlement is from them thinking they have outsmarted the system. They are what dumb people think smart people act like.
I mean, to be fair, I don’t want to pay any of that either. If I could get away with not paying anything while getting all the benefits of paying, then I would, but im not an absolute moron so I pay my taxes and bills.
Isn’t that libertarianism?
So, they are Amish?
No, the Amish actually knows how to live without modern technology and are generally a self sustaining folk. Try to take a sovcit’s phone away and see what happens.
they want the benefits of living in our society but they don’t want to pay any of the costs
Same tbh, at least in the sense of wanting to be allowed to exist by default.
Except they want much more than that. For instance they want every single benefit that you pay taxes for, but they don’t want to pay the taxes. It’s not that they all want to go live off grid and be their own person, they want to do everything you do and have everything you have, but they don’t feel like they should have to pay for it.
You could be right, I don’t actually know any of these people or frequent their discussion spaces, but the memes I’m seeing here including this one seem to reflect anxiety about the sorts of things poor people have to stress about. Like why would someone be begging for the internet to tell them how to make the electric company give them free electricity, unless they are really going through it?
I’ve watched a few trials of these guys because they’re often entertaining. Most don’t strike me as people struggling to make ends meet. They seem like self-entitled people who think they’ve discovered a loophole that gets them out of paying for things or suffering repercussions for their actions. Like they’ll be fighting a ticket for driving without a license or registration and their argument is that they aren’t constrained by those laws, and oh by the way, the flag behind the judge has a fringe that means it’s a naval court and doesn’t have jurisdiction over their case.
Look up the trial of Darrell Brooks, the guy who drove through a crowd of people at a parade (I want to say Wisconsin?). He was a SovCit and he had all sorts arguments about why the court didn’t have jurisdiction over him.
Sell the heavy son.
I came to say “kill the heavy son”, but you beat me to it
I too want to know this one trick.
Build an enormous induction coil under the power lines?
I’m noticing a common theme with the “sovereign citizens” where they can’t for the life of them look at what they’re typing or use the backspace key
Simple answer, but they won’t like it.
Autopay.
SovCits are a symptom of the breakdown of the social contract, not one of the causes.
It’s more a symptom of village idiots finding each other on the web and convincing themselves that they are not idiots. Its a feature of an interconnected world.
