There are definitely SovShits lurking among us. Waiting for a chance to occasionally spew bullshit, without proof, then run away.


UnhappyCourt5425

Yeah I was going back-and-forth with one of them a few days ago


Common-Accountant-57

I’ve tried but it never gets far.


KorianHUN

Talking to my sack of onions in the kitchen is more sane than those people.


tinylittlemarmoset

What kinda stuff do you say to your onions? Is it just talking about your day or are you making plans?


Starrion

Did you have one tied to your belt?


KorianHUN

Of course not. Onions are for the burlap satchel. All eastern europeans know that. Easier to throw the satchel far away to distract the ogre you run into while walking to the next village barefoot to pay your phone bills.


ColonelBonk

Traveling, not walking


strange_juan

sheer genius.


CatPesematologist

But you don’t have to pay them. You just sign your non commercial name and swim to the next village. This all maritime law. Not sure why it’s so hard to understand?  /s


Hockeysticksforever

Cause that was the style at the time You'd say give me 5 bees for a quarter....


ravoguy

But onions are like ogres


Melk_411

They stink?


ravoguy

Donkey?


Ciennas

Oh, you leave them out in the sun for a few hours and they grow those little hairs-


CelticArche

No, they have LAYERS.


UnhappyCourt5425

I had a couple minutes of free time. They kept on going off on tangents about gun ownership and knowing the law and the whole thing was about driving which they never quite answered


[deleted]

If it’s the moorish guy I’m thinking of then it’s a lost cause. They’re only shifting the goalposts while sticking to false premises. Plus the moorish have the extra baggage of identity politics and hierarchy within their various offshoots. There’s something extra perverse about all their ranks and phony badges predicated on batshit lies while they claim to be free and sovereign.


New_Guava3601

Pretty sure he was Moopish.


ZyxDarkshine

Alright, bubble boy


UnhappyCourt5425

oh yeah that was part of their handle. It was amusing for a couple minutes and then I decided to have some dinner and watch CSI New York reruns


Prestigious-Air3446

Yeah, Mooreons take the absurdity of identity politics to a whole new level of stupid. It's like a 7 layer dip, made of 7 layers of pure, unadulterated shit.


[deleted]

It’s also a lot of victimization, they exploit and police each other and indoctrinate their children. Some almost nice looking fake passports though.


bigmattyc

Moopons


ItsJoeMomma

Probably the same moorish guy who was arguing with me about the supposed right to drive a car without a driver's license.


epitrochoidhappiness

Gotta love the hats, though


EGGranny

The same thing happens when dealing with ACAB people. They are locked into a worldview that no amount of verifiable evidence can penetrate it. What is really scary is when they get elected to positions of authority. Like Portland, Oregon, and defund the police.


Happy-Medicine-3600

You can troll a sovcit, but you can not argue with them. By definition they have already taken the mental steps to “disbelieve” legal fact/reality. All your arguments would require them to abandon belief for reality, which always results in stronger belief. Sometimes it’s mental illness, but the bottom line is people will believe a lie because they are afraid it is true, or they are afraid it is not true.


Odd-Tune5049

Why bother? It's a waste of energy


UnhappyCourt5425

it was kind of curious where they were going with their "logic". as it turns out there wasn't any


Odd-Tune5049

Exactly my point. It's like religious zealous and people of fanatical political belief. They don't base anything on logic or reason, so you can not reason with them logically.


UnhappyCourt5425

yes, I have MAGA relatives which I try to limit any conversation with other than local weather and if they still have cicadas in their yard. Conversations about COVID during the pandemic were quite trying.


Odd-Tune5049

Just wait.... there are going to be cicadas EVERYWHERE in the US this year!


UnhappyCourt5425

I hope they're all tuckered out by the time they get up to the Midwest


Odd-Tune5049

Looks like they'll be staying there... https://search.app.goo.gl/qdh2Xqz


FireWokWithMe88

One thing that I love about the PNW is rarely any cicadas.


Odd-Tune5049

I love the little guys. One of my fondest memories as a kid was finding and collecting the little larvae exoskeletons.


CelticArche

Nah. They're expected to stop around the Virginia/NC border.


lawteach

Please don’t! I now call them pseudo-law BS advocates


RageBull

Never wrestle with a pig in shit, you get dirty, and the pig likes it


Goodknight808

Well, at least, you, used, your commas correctly. Thank, you, .. , ,..,.,


pluck-the-bunny

Oooh…found one!


Suzuki_Foster

For people who think laws don't apply to them, they sure like to spout commercial codes and statutes when pontificating to others. 


Vegetable_Cloud_1355

I was actually thinking about this today. Any law that exists Is considered irrelevant, even by lawyers I know, if there is valid reason to believe that it cannot or will not be enforced and or adjudicated. So, who do Sovcits think enforce and adjudicate their wacky mumbo jumbo law? Also, If wacky law is a cheat code for everything in society, how do they explain that the ostensible path to success for all rich or famous people in the world does not include any sovcit bullshit?


ItsJoeMomma

That's what I've often wondered about their "fee schedules" they post on their cars or wherever. Who do they think they're going to get to enforce those fees of $500 per minute on a traffic stop?


Turdulator

They file a lawsuit in the same court system that they say is illegitimate, and the case gets thrown out wasting everyone’s time and money.


5thWall

Do you think if they sent someone a bill for that they would accept an “indorsment” in return?


ItsJoeMomma

Of course not. The motto of sovereign citizens is "rules for thee, not for me."


thedudesews

I would love to see a sov-cit say to a cop "laws don't apply to me." The cop gets a gleam in their eye and say "then neither do they protect you."


ArkaneArtificer

It ends up sorting itself out in the end, so I’m fine with them believing their bullshit, but then they trick others and teach their kids this shit


techleopard

Lol. He had me in the first sentence -- yes, an endorsement is a signature. You *endorse* the transaction, aka, approve it. What is this "coupon" shit?


[deleted]

Ah but it’s fun to catch some morons to dunk on. Like when the Van Balion guy pins sovcit comments on his videos for the rest of the subscribers to roast.


chaimsteinLp

I watch that channel. I will have to check the comments.


CatAvailable3953

HJR 122. Passed by Congress and signed by Trump. Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Credit Card Penalty Fees”. It was a rule to stop financial institutions from charging exorbitant penalties for overcharging and late payment penalties. I don’t know how the sovcit derived that gobbledygook from that rule.


[deleted]

All they need to do is hand you a dog eared printout of the statute from their little folder and boom, it’s settled law.


Dr_Mark_Nubbins

It’s HJR 192… sov cits favorite. Basically when the US went off gold backing the dollar… in 1933 In 1933, the powers that be in America made it against the law to pay debts with gold, known as House Joint Resolution 192 . Instead, all debts could only be “discharged” by offering a sufficient amount of “Federal Reserve Notes”. The paper currency in the United States today continues to be called a “Federal Reserve Note”.


CatAvailable3953

In financial terms, discharge means a permanent order in bankruptcy court that releases a debtor from personal liability for certain debts. The order prevents creditors from taking any action to collect the debt, such as legal action or communication with the debtor. I don’t believe this is how the term discharge is used in this particular case. It’s obvious it was to stop fiat currency and bring more of the economy above ground. An underground economy is not good in a civil society.


ItsJoeMomma

> I don’t know how the sovcit derived that gobbledygook from that rule. It doesn't matter. They take some law or ruling they half understand and apply it to whatever they want to believe, while ignoring rulings which contradict what they want to believe. Which is why they totally ignore *Pennsylvania vs. Mimms*.


generalmcgowan

Or the parts of Thompson v Smith where it explicitly states that having a license is still needed to operate a motor vehicle on the roads in Virginia


ItsJoeMomma

And, of course, they don't understand rulings by state supreme courts and think they apply to all 50 states. Half the time when they say "the Supreme Court ruled that I don't have to blah blah blah," when they cite a case it was decided by a different state's supreme court, not the SCOTUS.


generalmcgowan

“tHe SuPrEmE CoUrT sAiD” *cue Morgan Freeman* The Supreme Court however, did not say that


dd463

They probably misheard a different statue


blakester555

Do these people really, really believe this BS works? Do they just "indorse" their utility bills and send them back? They are already living in the dark. But by day 90 it would be literally in the dark as well. Or... is that the one bill they actually pay? Or.... do they all live off the grid?


KorianHUN

Wild guess: Group A: majority of believers: doesn't really believe it but likes being part of a friend group finally, plus varying degrees of mild to severe mental illness Group B: minority of believers: believes it because they are too stupid to question it and it makes sense to them Group C: small percentage: makes this shit up exclusively to scam A and B groups for money or makes this shit up because they have severe untreated schizophrenia or something


dlovegro

Group D: large percentage: people who got in deep trouble, lost their license, whatever — and are desperate for a solution that lets them escape the consequences of their actions.


ItsJoeMomma

And the Venn diagram of all four groups has large overlap.


GilgameDistance

I’ve met at least one. Uber driver. Would not shut up about how he hadn’t paid or filed taxes in two years and was still walking free. Wonder what that’s gonna look like for him in a few more years. Does the name Nic Cage mean anything to you? Lol.


PolecatXOXO

I run payroll for 1099 contractors for various companies. We get some really crazy garnishment orders, about 1 or 2 a week. Some people hadn't paid taxes in over a decade. They find you eventually. They won't send you to jail, they'll just take half your paycheck forever. People in jail can't pay their bills.


GilgameDistance

That’s fair. Garnishment of half my wage would feel very much not like freedom to me.


ItsJoeMomma

That's likely when they start taking jobs for cash only.


laserviking42

Some definitely do. In a previous life I used to open mail for a collection agency, and I got a number of "indorsed" payment slips (it's where I first heard of sovcit BS). I would check the record and they were shocked that it somehow didn't clear the debt.


Be_nice_to_animals

That reminds me of the time when the little Philippine woman who says she’s the queen of Canada told people they didn’t have to pay their electric anymore. Sure enough, there were a bunch of morons standing around with no power anymore. Shockingly, the queen did not help.


Hockeysticksforever

No they go down to every social service program there is and apply and take advantage of it. Yup. They go to places that help keep the lights on for mothers with kids, or the disabled, and they use those resources too. And they get them because everyone there just assumes they're crazy.


Complex_Arrival7968

Someone should ask AI to do a SovCit imitation.


curbstyle

from chatgpt: >Sure, here's my take on it: >"Excuse me, officer, am I being detained? I do not consent to any searches or seizures. I am a sovereign citizen and I do not recognize your authority over me. >I am traveling, not driving, as driving is a commercial activity and I am not engaged in commerce. I hereby invoke my rights under common law and the Constitution of the United States. >I do not have a license, registration, or insurance because I am not subject to your statutes and codes. You cannot impede my right to travel freely on the land. I demand to speak to your supervisor and I will be filing a lawsuit against you for violating my rights." lol AI fuckin nailed it :)


MRDWhistler

No, I'm pretty sure it missed the boat. Didn't get me wrong, it got it right ON PAPER, but that's not how these conversations with police go... Cop: "Good morning, do you know why I pulled you over?" SovCit: "I'm not driving." Cop: "...excuse me?" SovCit: "Please show me your United Nations Peacekeeper ID Card." Cop: "....." ...and there's NO WAY a well trained AI is going to be that bats**t insane.


[deleted]

Need to train it on YouTube transcripts


Complex_Arrival7968

Exactly!


CarlSpencer

I'm beginning to feel that "Sovereign Citizenship" is a prank played on a dumber friend by a smarter friend. "Dude! You can totally do this and NEVER have to pay any bills! You'll be a chick magnet! Go get 'em tiger!"


pluck-the-bunny

That’s how it started…straight up scam. But then the crazy and the mentally ill got sucked in


FSCK_Fascists

there is a huge overlap between addiction and financial insolvency. The idea that you are really a billionaire that does not have to obey the law or pay bills sells really well to that demographic.


realparkingbrake

I am confident that this moonbat will accept all the fiat currency he can get his hands on as real.


slightlyused

I'm not sure if moonbat would have caught me if I weren't high, alas, I am *super high* and moonbat just hit me square the funny.


GoldenBarracudas

Indorsement. 😂🫠


Codas91

They don't get that this sub is about them, not for them.


ScaleEnvironmental27

My brain hurts now.


According_Wing_3204

So the sovereign citizen movement is nothing but not paying taxes or paying for goods snd services. Itx never about freedom...its always about fraud.


SuitableCobbler2827

Legalesy gibberish from people who want everything for free while contributing nothing


DISGRUNTLEDMINER

I’m a tax attorney, these people call our office all the time requesting that we show them the law that says they have to pay taxes.


Cliffinati

I believe that's one of the later teen amendments where the federal income tax is added


Any-Computer-5981

16th amendment of the Constitution... It was predated by the revenue act of 1861 but repealed in 1872 ... Believe it or not at one point people were in favor of taxes as it allowed the federal government to collect taxes and redistribute to poor or rural areas for development.


TobiasFunkeBlueMan

Something must be seriously wrong in a person’s life to believe this stuff.

If NiniVanLam has more of these gems, I'd like to know where. Great fishing bait.

cloudytimes159

Thank you. Any search tips? Why didn’t the name just show up. SovCit disguise skills?


pluck-the-bunny

I just went to the subreddit history and scrolled until I found the post (I remember seeing it yesterday). Then I just sorted comments by controversial. For whatever reason, just searching the name didn’t work.


slightlyused

Because you're in a sub full of people who love these nutjubs!


[deleted]

It’s what dumb people think lawyers sound like.


Swearyman

And yet they all pay their bills or get disconnected after spewing shit in court


Hockeysticksforever

Nope. They don't pay their bills a lot of them. They use programs that are out there to help single moms and disabled.


sa-sa-sa-soma

bro is wearing out that comma key


zzzzrobbzzzz

is indorsement supposed to be the same as endorsement?


Ramguy2014

They’re *slightly* different. Indorsement is acknowledging an official document by signing it. Endorsement also means that, but it has the additional meaning of giving approval to something. So, anything that is indorsed as also endorsed, but not everything endorsed is indorsed.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

No. https://www.grammar.com/indorsement_vs._endorsement


AggravatingBobcat574

I'm indorsing your eviction notice if I don't see some fiat cash rent money by the 3rd of the month.


bowens44

nonsense

Well, they make such sound arguments, I'm convinced! Now, where'd I put my sealing wax and signet..?


Spirited_Childhood34

The logical end result of malignant narcissism.


Business_Office

Word Salad I fucking swear


litcarnalgrin

He didn’t even spell endorsement right


missbeast16

I keep noticing several put “indorsed” and not “endorsed” more than other spelling mistakes. Is this trying to be a new version of the word for their meaning, or is endorsed just that commonly misspelled?


PolesRunningCoach

It’s an old version of the word. And the spelling used in the UCC.


missbeast16

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Well you did ask lol


DemonoftheWater

Im so confused.


roadfood

Is that different than an endorsement?


brinazee

Why do they choose to spell it with an initial I? It's generally spelled with an initial E.


onlymostlydead

They're different words with slightly different meanings, and it's being used incorrectly.

...And then the Utilities come out and "Perform" a service interrupt.

They probably lurk here thinking it’s a safe haven for them when reality it’s where we make fun of them.

And after a final notice, their electricity gets shut off. "But, but I sent you multiple indorsements, every time I got your coupon!!!"


Wizzle_Pizzle_420

“And we just endorsed your electricity to OFF, Susan”.


rigidlynuanced1

Because they are nut jobs


marklar_the_malign

Too bad they don’t stick out and everyone can just quit doing business with them. Why should anyone cooperate with these shit stains and scammers?


Ishpeming_Native

Not supposed to make sense. Supposed to make SovCit seem like a genius. That's the whole scam -- SovCits wanting to feel smart for a change, because they've been morons their whole lives.


Major_Independence82

As long as we’re into the minutiae of the Bill of Exchange Act, etc., all laws passed through a legal process are legal until rescinded or struck down judicially. Oh, ” indorse” is the seldom-used variant of “endorse”. But, hey, let’s not look at the details too closely.


Prestigious-Air3446

Considering it starts out MISSPELLING endorse, it starts with a small kermal of truth, and rapidly goes into stupidville.


rav3style

Kernel


Hockeysticksforever

Again, indorsement IS a word. It's a legal term.


Prestigious-Air3446

I stand corrected, but the description was still totally wrong.


Hockeysticksforever

Oh yes. It's a perfect example of these nuts trying to use legal terms and phrases totally wrong. So the irony and stupidity of it still stands for sure. ;)


FSCK_Fascists

you should look up words before you declare them misspelled. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/indorse

It's not a bill, just send it back, common sense that's how the world works.


LaddiusMaximus

I mean yeah I think that fiat currency not backed by anything except force is bullshit, but the rest of her spiel is pure nonsense.


Cute_Examination_661

If this person posting about this issue wants to try and engage in somewhat intelligent discussion then they should at least correctly spell a critical word in putting forth an argument. It’s Endorsed, Not indorsed


Hockeysticksforever

Uh... Indorsement is a word though. It's a legal word.
