They don't exactly believe the government isn't real. They say it isn't legitimate, but they don't really understand the concept of legitimacy. They think it's simultaneously a real, inescapable entity and something you can cheat your way out of.

Yeah its sorta funny as you can live mostly without the government if you want to live as a substanance farmer. Even the amish use cash but after property ownership your farm does not need to make a profit which it won't if you don't use currency or public roads or spaces or anything. Heck you will likely lose out mostly since the life you live would likely qualify you for assistance.

Fair enough but I wouldn't report anyone to an authority that I don't recognize.

I wouldn't either, but we haven't pretzled ourselves into the irrational knot of the SovCit where the government simultaneously has all the power and no power.

they treat the government like irish fae, supreme power that is magically bound to follow certain rules and if you play around those rules they're powerless

i'm sure they think dora the explorer was a documentary, swiper no swiping!
