They are people who think that successful people follow different rules but that those rules are fair and available to everyone if they know to use them. It's a weird combination of not believing the system is fair but also believing that it is but on a different level. And if they can figure out the magical combination of words, they can outsmart the people who usually enforce rules and laws. They think legalese has some kind of occult truth and meaning to it, rather than being shit we made up over the years. They think that law enforcement being inconsistent with following or enforcing rules is actually because they follow a secret set of rules to the letter.

They also think that since money doesn't follow the gold standard, nothing backs it, therefore anything can be currency since currency doesn't need any backing anymore (which is just a misunderstanding if what money actually is).

And another group of people goad them on with bullshit, either to make money conning them or to sow civil unrest (because now cops need to deal with people confidently asserting that they aren't driving but traveling, which doesn't require a driver's license, debt collectors need to deal with people essentially trying to issue their own currency to pay their bills, and judges need to deal with people who think they can opt out of following laws while still living in the country).
