      This is what gets me the most about SovCits.

      You don’t like the state’s monopoly on violence and don’t feel like you shouldn’t have to follow rules you didn’t agree to? Sure, that makes sense.

      But thinking there are magic words that will make the state give up it’s ability to do violence and let you do whatever you want… that’s just crazy.

        They have skimmed different legal concepts, found that if you invoke a specific legal concept you can be permitted to do somethings that you else couldn’t do.

        They don’t understand how to actually invoke the legal concept and what it means for themselves, as to what actions and responsibillities they need to face, since they don’t understand that they treat it as a magic spell.

        A classic example is declaring bankrupcy, you need to declare it in a proper way to the government, you then need to work your way out of the situation with the government, you can’t just shout it in a public place and expect it to work…
