It's a shame when delusional ideas get in the way of a poignant joke.

That was my first thought too.

To claim a dependant you'd have to be paying taxes in the first place, so I doubt it.

Dare I ask what "sovcit" means? Some kind of soviet thing?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

sovereign citizen is what it stands for, are you familiar with them?

[-] PatMustard@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Never heard the term, dare I ask what it means?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Sure. It's a loose terminology for a group of anti government protestors. They have very bizarre beliefs about the law, don't have licenses or license plates or insurance, file vexatious lawsuits and commit "paper terrorism" on the courts, have fake license plates on their cars, don't pay taxes and try to pay bills from what they think is a secret government trust established in their names at birth worth 2 million dollars. They are quite notorious for getting pulled over for their fake plates, where they refuse to get out of their car and ask repeatedly 'am I being detained ", and end up with their windows smashed and being dragged out of their cars. There are a million videos of this on YouTube and they're quite something.

Here is an article about a notorious case where the cops actually killed one as they thought he had a weapon. It's quite unfortunate but the cops have been killed by sovcits before..

Wow, that's pretty insane. Are these guys the same as the "libertarians" you guys have who just think there should be no laws and they should be able to do whatever they want?

A way more extreme version.
