    So, does this actually work for anyone? Like, how’re they getting it in their heads that this is a functional lifestyle? Is someone selling them this information? Is this information warfare conducted by [insert entity]? I can’t understand the origin of sovcits

      Here’s what they see IRL in court, on YouTube, read about:

      A case is before the court. The lawyer speaks in terms that seem complex, often in Latin. Magically, the case is dismissed or found in favor of the defendant. Sovcits believe these judgements contain cues as to how they can shortcut the justice system. After all, they just saw other people do it!

      Also, sometimes their idiot demands are met, or they think they are. Say you’re buying a car and tell the dealer you’re a “natural person”, or whatever the fuck, and you refuse to pay taxes. The salesman comes back and says, “You’re right! Taxes waived!” LOL no, they found a way to tack that money on and you’re too dumb to figure it out. SOURCE: Sold cars for a few months in the day.

      Maybe a credit card has sold your debt at a discount. The company that bought your debt just needs a piece of it to make a profit, not the whole thing. Demand they get that money from your “whatever the fuck account they think the government holds for them”. “OK, looks like we can pull $750 of your $1,000 debt from that fund. Pay the rest and we’re square.” Numbnuts just negotiated a debt and thinks they won because they’re smart, repeats to FaceBook.

      Now take these observations and find groups of people who have experienced the same sorts of things, now you’re in a cult! Also, there are people whose entire livelihood is making websites to sell you shit like fake license plates and identification.

      My uncle has a friend who cracked the code and discovered you can get free shit by buying it on a credit card and then disputing the charge.

      So it works about as well as that.

      There is a range of course. Some free but with leaflets that contain the spells that get you out of debt/parking fine/ taxes. They will work and if they don’t then you said them wrong. Sign up for my next course for a better spell book that will definitely 100% work*

      *no refunds

      I work with some idiots who spout so much bullshit that people just nod and don’t engage

      This makes them think that they’re right, because nobody is disagreeing with them

      The more ridiculous their idea, the less likely people are to bother arguing with them, so their idiocy grows
