in general, things do exist out of the U.S, its just people in the U.S do it more publicly. Its like racism, and how some people think U.S is the most racist due to media and social media, its actually very far from that on the general scale of things when compared to other countries.
In Australia I knew I guy who was a SovCit and he would do stupid things like quote the bill of rights. We’d say “what bill of rights?” Australia doesn’t have one. All his info came from the US and he just followed it with realising none of it was relevant in a different country.
True. But things like the UCC are real laws. Sovcits just hilariously misinterpret them. There is no such law in other countries. Plus sovcit stuff is based on common law. It makes even less sense in civil law jurisdictions.
Fortunately I haven’t bothered keeping up with him for many years, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he was doing that. And protesting vaccinations too probably.
There is a similar movement to SovCits that is at least properly adapted to other countries (specifically the Commonwealth and Ireland’s) laws called “Freeman on the Land.”
that would of course be count Binface, who is a space alien and thus obviously is only subject to any human law in so far as that he chooses to go along with it.
It seems no one made the people of Cyprus aware that they’re on the hook for the outstanding debts of every idiot in the world lol imagine their surprise 😂
Let me make sure I follow what happened here… He got a bunch of paperwork he presumably needed to sign in several places? Instead of doing that he put a postage stamp (?) on top of the pile and “signed across” it?
I’m still trying to wrap my head around this apparent notion that signing a stamp is supposed to have some official function lol I’m assuming it’s something he dreamt after a particularly large meal
A 2014 survey asked US law enforcement officials to rank terrorist threats to the United States. They ranked sovereign citizens as the highest threat — with Islamic extremists coming in second.
Jeez
I can’t imagine a country that ranks it’s own citizens as the highest terrorist threat
In fairness, I’ve had to write a privacy policy due to store restrictions. It boiled down to “everything stays on your phone. I don’t collect your data, I don’t want your data, I don’t even have a backend server that could be collecting your data. If you find my app sending telemetry of any kind, please tell me immediately because that should not be happening”
That being said, this doesn’t exactly inspire confidence
He was gifted 400k, just not by BK. The post doesn’t say it was BK, even though it insinuates that. It’s technically correct, but it has a clearly deceitful intention.
The better way to have worded that post was to say, “A Burger King worker, who never missed a day of work in 27 years, was gifted $400k from a GoFundMe setup by his daughter.”
But that would mean being intentional and using more words. Can’t have that when you want to be spicy and increasing your engagement with ambiguity.
It’s weird, but also more specific. You can give someone a haircut, give someone guff, give someone herpes, but you wouldn’t say “gifted” in those contexts.
Yes it’s been around for ages, but not colloquially or informally used until about 20 years ago, just about the time where people started typing a lot!
Even if that were true, I fail to see how that would make it incorrect. And I don’t think it is. I’ve heard gift used that way my entire life, which I wish was only twenty years long so far. Perhaps it was regional until more recently.
For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.
