I love watching vids of sovereign citizens explaining their rules

I feel bad for them because they see people saying fancy words and terms in courts and they think that if they use the magic language they can do whatever they want.

There’s whole industries of people selling guides and licence plates to them too and it’s just people taking advantage of gullible people.

Well said. A sober look at the lives of these people often reveals a sad truth.

Yeah, but didja know that if your name is in ALL CAPS that's not really legally about you the person, it's about you the corporation, and if you see a flag with fringe on it that means you are not in a real court of law and it's all very sooperdooper unlegal, brother?

My favorite is P. Barnes explaining to a sovcit how he isn't getting into the courtroom, and the sovcit just won't take no for an answer and ends up getting himself arrested....again.

My favorite thing about all of it is their fetishization of The Constitution.

I'm always like - you mean the Constitution of the country you say you are not a part of? What's it to you? Also, they usually worship Republicans - again, a party of a country they claim they are above...
