    Is there any kind of tourism where you can drive around in a big land rover with a South African guide and like, see these people in the wild? I’m like 40% convinced that most of the sov-cit things we see are just, staged, maybe another 40% convinced that yes, western society has degreaded to this level of idiocy, and maybe a final 20% interested in spying on these people irl through a large telephoto lens. Like I just want to be a fly on the wall in the meeting with the bank where they offer their 10 silver coins.

      The silver coins one has to be a troll with a fake picture.

      Even these nutjobs have to understand that not all properties cost the exact same price and there’s no way anyone has actually pulled it off.

      If anyone believes that, they’d try to start buying up properties and quickly find out no one accepts that.

        Shows how much you know. Me and two friends just bought Bill Gates’s house for only $2.50 with some old silver quarters! Dude had to sell to me cuz I had a land patent and that fool only had a deed.

        These people believe you can sign some magic tax forms and it’ll automatically foreclose any debt you owe to other people.

        This guy probably figured that if he could secure a home loan he could pay it off the next day with a 1099A form.

          I hate all the negativity here about people just trying to figure all this out and do the right thing.

          It’s actually Form 1099½.

              Oh that is just rich, coming from the likes of you. Where do you get off speaking to Moorish royalty that way?

                Platform 1099 and ¾

                Where do you get off

                Well I guess you made it very clear where it is you get off. Good day to you.

        In the Age of Trump it’s hard to tell what’s sarcastic and what’s not. Stupid people got so confident.

      I had a coworker who was a legit sov-cit. I don’t know how much he practiced it but he definitely made arguments you didn’t need a drivers license to ‘travel’. He was also super big into bitcoin and also a legit flat-earther.
