Should sovcit just be it’s own community? Every post here seems to be about them

A lot of us have been encouraging Bones to keep posting here lately because it keeps the community alive

Also, it’s addictive. The posts make your head hurt, but the erudite comments make the pain go away.

Private tags for private roads. The state owns the public roads and represents the public. We’ve all agreed to pitch in costs and register vehicles on our roads. If you want to use them, that’s all you have to do, otherwise it’s trespassing.

How do you feel about the Amish using buggies on roads without license plates or paying gas tax?

Agrivar ,

Buggies are animal-powered, and by law (in nearly all states) that exempts the vehicle from needing plates. You don’t have to be Amish to “take advantage” of this “loophole.”

Indiana actually does require a license plate and fee for a horse drawn carriage. Most other states do not at this time, though there are proposals in some.

verity_kindle ,

Buggies are very popular here in Kansas and they’re not allowed to use most of the roads. They have to obey the same traffic laws as everybody else.

I love how they act like they didn’t essentially force the cops to remove them from the car. I’m no fan of cops basically ever, but they’re generally way more patient with sovcits than I would be. I’d be telling them we can skip right to the part where I break their window because I have other shit to do than listen to nonsense for 20 minutes. We all know where the conversation is going, let’s just move it along.

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

Considering sovcits have killed cops, cops are right to be apprehensive with them. I am no fan of cops either but honestly sovcits should be considered very dangerous.

I can say policy in my area is that when an officer gets a whiff of sovereign citizen, they immediately call for available backup.

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

They should. Any extremist should be treated with caution, even as silly as these twits are.

Gork ,

I like how this guy has a folder for this scenario.

Or he could just keep his registration and license current, like the rest of us, and not have drawn out pointless arguments with the cops.

One thing they could try to reduce the chances of this happening again is to stop being a sovcit. I hear that shit works wonders.

stoy ,

“This time”

That means that it has happened at least once before, meaning that one can hope to see them recognize a pattern of behavior when they keep doing their dumb shit.

Eh who am I kidding, they’ll just keep looking for that one magic spell that will solve their issues.

ArbitraryValue ,

So “magical thinking” explains why they believe this stuff in the first place, but what explains why they keep believing it after it doesn’t work? Even in a fantasy setting, it doesn’t make sense. If you thought vampires couldn’t come into your house uninvited but then a vampire did exactly that, you’d run away. These people would lecture the vampire about what his weaknesses really were and then go online and complain that the vampire sucked their blood when he wasn’t supposed to.

WarmSoda ,

They’re desperate. And they found thier defense mechanism. Having others that also go along with the same fantasy just creates a cycle of denial.

cmbabul ,

I think this is the thing that most confuses me about all these sovcits, they are presented with demonstrable evidence and refuse to accept it

humorlessrepost ,

Every sovcit interaction is answered with either “you win”, “it’ll work itself out in court”, or “the system is ignoring its own rules to win”.

Every prayer is answered with “yes”, “no”, or “later”.

Unfalsifiable claims gonna be unfalsifiable.

bleistift2 ,

why they keep believing it after it doesn’t work

If these any people knew basic logic, religion would be very upset.
