My favorite part is that he refuses to acknowledge being a citizen (or person or other legal fiction) of the United States but then invokes the United States constitution to argue for his rights.

Well, non-citizens are protected by the constitution, so that's not the most crazy thing they've come up with.

[–] One_Honest_Dude@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

It is always funny/interesting the contradictory opinions that sovcits hold, but I just want to point out that the rights granted by the Constitution apply to anyone in the US regardless of citizenship or legal status. This is a good thing. This guy has all the rights even if he did manage to become stateless, they just don't apply how he thinks they do.

Isn't that wonderful? Like it's so insane it's beautiful.

Everything else in our system is invalid, but RICO laws and mail fraud laws are all good. Good to know.

I just noticed he was too stupid to change any of the “Your name here” on the first letter. It reminds me of the Portal message “participants name must by the pride of participants home town”

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Written by someone with a sound mind for sure. Surprised they actually got a well written reply.

[–] whodatdair@lemm.ee 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if they have sovcit reply form letters lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Some of them do!

[–] fenynro@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

"I am a natural born State Citizen of 'State you were born in here'" lmao my man didn't even try to proofread what he was sending

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They have a million stupid templates for their letters on these groups. They're extra hilarious.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We need to make some extra terrible ones and secretly distribute them to these groups

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Entirely possible. Write some.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah I had a mental stronk reading that

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

Yes there's trouble looming. It won't be too long before the sov cit enters the find out stage.

"I don't want extra attention from the IRS, let me send them a letter that will surely cause them to pay less attention to me!"

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

That's the best way to handle this.

"Private, this is not a public communication"

Posted on facebook. Whoops, now the magic won't work, like when you say your wish out loud.

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wait, they didn't even fill in their information in the fields!?

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Well, perhaps they are really called 'Your Name Here', who are we to judge? Why bother filling the 'By' field if the form already states their name, that's just redundant. Think of all the time saved!

I'm more confused about the 27th day of May 27. How exactly does that work?

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

Ya I'm thinking now they just posted the template to not show their own info. But 27th day of May 27 makes it sound like they're in for a long year

[–] SkyerixBOI@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Man, the "Your name here" text at the bottom of their letter really makes it all come together.

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I like the IRS jabbing the person by addressing them as "Taxpayer".

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

It's a little malicious compliance isn't it lol

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I am rubber you are glue - this sovcit doesn't recognise you!

Boogity Boogity boo - your ink isn't blue, I'm a living person not accountable to you.

I'll take all your benefits, ignore all your laws - get your hands off me, pig - you've got dirty paws!

Your authority I fought - and landed in court, I was tossed in prison - sovcit witchcraft isn't a legal retort.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Whenever I see sovcit I think "soviet citizen" lol

[–] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 12 points 6 months ago

RICO laws, stocking laws

They even spelled stalking correctly the first time. Sheesh.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If these "sovereign citizens" want to play their so called make beleive they should renounce their united states citizenship and move to no mans land

It'd be funny to see how long they last then

I'm glad I don't live in america, it's full of fucking crazy and bigoted people

[–] vorpuni@jlai.lu 7 points 6 months ago

Sovcit about to find out being sovereign implies being able to nuke the IRS if you don't want them to bother you.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

IRS using a typewriter or what?
