So how is this any different, in their minds, from stealing?
They take a loan out to buy a car. They clearly have 0 intention of paying that loan off by citing some sovereign citizen encantation.
How can they reconcile that in their heads?
"I deserve free things at the cost of others, because I'm clever"?
Scum, regardless of your libertarian philosophy.
In their minds, they're not stealing, they just paying with unexpected money.
They're saying "send the bill to my secret government trust account", since they think everyone secretly has one of those that the government opened when they were born and use for Purposes™.
Sometimes they just think they've found a loophole. It's not stealing because it's legal.
If someone offers you a car for free, you'd be silly not to take the offer,even if afterwards they say they would have liked you to give them a pile of money.
If they really don't think they're stealing, then they would be transparent about their method of payment up front. I very highly doubt they would have received financing if they communicated that expectation while applying.
So it seems more like bad faith excuses than actual belief in what they're doing.
I would guess that they were told by some "guru" how exactly to do it, and never questioned the magic words.
