ok your post was so incredulous that i went down a bit of a rabbit hole here... jesus i don't know whether to laugh or cry at everything.
good summary btw. and the craziness goes even further... my favorite bit of "lore" is the fact that sovcits who operate a motor vehicle for non-commercial purposes can claim to be "traveling" rather than "driving" and therefore do not need a valid drivers' license or valid plates on their car. MY SIDES
Someone once tried to explain the plot of Kingdom Hearts to me and my brain short circuited in the same way.
It's kinda the perfect scam, you can sell people the secret knowledge (and obviously you need cash rather than one of these magic letters cos the government can track the magic letters), and if your rube tries it and it obviously doesn't work then they must have done it wrong and you need to do this other thing to undo that thing and on and on.
It's also not just a US thing, it's popped up all over the world, especially in places with an indigenous people - that one I can understand the motivation on a bit better, "fuck the government you can't control me your authority is derived from colonial violence" rather than "I don't want to pay taxes but also want to live in a society"
