    These twats believe a name in ALL CAPS is a ‘fictional shell corporation’ and a name in Regular Capitalized Lowercase is a ‘real person’. (They prove this by saying your name is written in all caps on your birth certificate because that’s when the government creates the shell corporation of you that they trade securities against.)

    So this person is upset that the government is trying to trick them by having an envelope looking like it’s addressed to the real person, but inside the letter is for the shell corporation.

    They don’t want to be conflated with their shell corporation in any way, because that’s the entity that’s responsible for taxes and following laws and paying back debts, stuff like that. SovCits want to live in and take advantage of society’s benefits, but they don’t want to actually contribute to it. Especially if it involves childcare.

      I don’t know if this is canon in their universe, but it’s delightfully ridiculous, so I’m going with it.

        Oh, it’s canon. And it gets even crazier.

        The government uses maritime law to make these shell corporations, because your mother gives ‘berth’ to you, goods that she signs away to the State. These chuckleheads actually call it a ‘berth certificate’. That’s why they always go on about ‘not being subject to maritime law’ whe they get dragged into court.

        (You can tell it’s a maritime court because the flag has fringe on it.)

        They have this weird belief that words that sound the same mean the same thing. It makes for some… interesting ideas.

      Woah wait, especially if it involves childcare? Damn I thought they were just varying degree of stupid contrairan dorks that hate the government and cops especially laws about land or vehicles, and I guess court, cuz that’s all I ever saw. Is it like against child support or something or paying taxes that benefit schools if they are CF or something else? More?

      I experienced havint dinner with one once. It was a treat, I’ve never felt so smart in my life.

        Quite often the non-specific ‘court’ mentioned in these posts is because they’re refusing to pay their child support payments.

        Of course, that gets their wages garnished, so they start working off-the-books, but then the IRS eventually notices
