Sovereign citizen Facebook is full of people trying to send magic paperwork to companies to pay their debt and they never understand why it doesn't work.
did she break the law because the letter was for the eyes of the CEO only
This may be my favorite thought process sovereign citizens go through.
"I don't have to follow laws as long as I make shit up. But everyone else is required to follow the law exactly as I assume it works for normal people."
Back in mandatory masking days of COVID, one of them posted that he tried to shop in a store without a mask (they hate masks and literally think it's against their religion), and was refused service so he just decided to shoplift instead, and came on the sovcit group asking for the law that said if money was refused that meant it was free. I have never laughed so hard.
New business idea: novelty "notary" stamps for sovereign citizens. Make sure they say "definitely not a real notary" on them so you don't get sued by the state. Sovereign citizens who hate the state will love it.
I think they genuinely believe they are reading the law right and everyone else is just wrong or don't know something they know etc. So from their pov they're following all the laws that are lawful I suppose, so there's no contradiction in their mind.
Unless they’re really fucking out there and believe you know they’re right but are acting in bad faith because you’re in on this whole thing. So gross.
These are basically the same people who will click the ads that say something like "this quick trick your doctor doesn't want you to know will save your thousands and keep you healthy for life".
Sovereign citizens believe that there is a difference between JOHN Q. PUBLIC and John Q. Public. Like your name in all caps is a “corporation” that the US government controls, which has money that you can access with the right combination of magic words. It’s very cargo cult.
Literally exactly what it is. The "coupon" they refer to is the little payment remittance slip on the bottom of bills, they think if they sign it and send it back without money that it pays their debt. It's WILD.
Soverign citizens are so cute, they are like kids. Whenever they want something you gotta go "say the magic word!" and instead of please it's a twenty minute run on sentance about 1600s treaties, colonial maritime law and how capital letters don't count.
If a 4 year old went off like that for a cookie I'd lose it. Kinda sad that these are dorks in their 40s but somehow that also makes it even funnier?
I just really wanna know how they thought this was going to work. Like what could make someone think they could mail a thing to someone, and that somehow saddles that person with their debt. It's wild, it reads like some kind of magic spell. You complete some incomprehensible ritual, scribble some meaningless symbols on a paper, get your enemy to accept this "gift" and now the curse has been passed on to them.
It's like a MAGA hat, or a swastika tattoo. A big early warning sign that somebody is proud enough to display, but lets you know they are well worth ignoring.
