I know these sovereign citizen people exist, but sometimes when I read these things, I can't help but think somebody is just fan fic spoofing the whole thing. Like there can't really be anybody this delusional, right?

Maybe don't answer that.

Back when I was a young man, I loved stupid conspiracies. I thought it was like the old nosleep on Reddit. Everyone who was saying these things were in on the joke and everyone who took it seriously and complained about it was just stupid.

I learned better. I was joking but a lot of people weren't. I realized one of my exes was a serious conspiracy theorist and not just playing along with me. It was a sad day.

A sad moment in my life was when I watched my beloved shit posting flat world Facebook group went from a place where we had debates using incredibly flimsy science about flat earth to real people not realizing it was a joke and taking it as fact.

The smirks and winks lead to shouting matches. Silly banter ended up being personal attacks and threats. The monthly "long rant" became daily.

The crazy conspiracy theorists folks won.

AndbThe "birds aren't real" folks are going to get it next.

And the scary thing is many of these flat earthers moved on to the Q world. It was like a gateway entrance to Qanon. Once you're going down the slippery slope territory...

When this nonsense points to the Jews every single time, you can't get all surprised when the cookers turn Nazi.

[-] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

This is the conclusion I came to years ago being an edgelord. I used to make all sorts of off color, shit jokes to lampoon racists, sexists, etc. When I realized some people laughing were doing so for all the wrong reasons because it's actually been normalizing it... shit. Whoops

“I want to not pay back loans. I’m petitioning magistrate and god to have it erased. And if the govt can throw in a car, fully paid for, power windows, power everything, cherry red. That’s also what I want. Oh, and my free gas card. Abra-cadabra? Is that the code word?”

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

These same people are rallying against any and all student loan forgiveness

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

And why is it always “magistrate”? Never judge or such.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 20 points 7 months ago

Secret words, friend. It’s the name of the game.

[-] totallynotarobot@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Hoping for a fancy wig; makes it more official.

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

“Sure! How about the, uh, 6000 SUX?”

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

Dude I know one with a law degree. Law firm I've consulted at for decades accidentally hired him. Favor to a friend of one of the partners. He lasted maybe three months before he committed major malpractice and quit before they could fire him?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

It's a hell of an act if so. These groups have thousands of people.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

That's honestly how I look at most of reality for a while now.

Anyone have an idea on how to get it paid in full

By paying in full, probably.

All sov-cits should be deported to a single 4' x 8' sheet of floating Styrofoam in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

[-] Clasm@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

Make it out of balsa wood. That way it's biodegradable.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

I'm fond of things made of pykrete, mostly because it's quirky.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 50 points 7 months ago

I don't understand what this person is expecting even in the context of their delusion

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

Maybe having the lender agree to an unsecured loan and release the lien upon them selling the car privately?

This way the lender gets more than they would at private auction and the borrow still owes them the balance (same as if it were repossessed and auctioned off)

[-] ares35@kbin.social 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

negotiating a surrender of the vehicle and the balance still owed might have worked, but i doubt it would have been approved by the lender here. they know they're dealing with half a rotting brain cell with an empty wallet and no prospects. they'd rather start their well-tuned process to default the loan, recover and sell the car, bill the balance, and then either file for judgement/garnishment or sell it to a debt collector.

[-] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The strange thing is, now hear me out because it sounds crazy, banks will generally work with you on a debt repayment plan if you get behind on your bills if you actually talk to them instead of avoiding any financial responsibility for long periods of time. It's almost like they would rather have a mutually beneficial outcome. You would almost think that real humans with even a small amount of compassion run banks. Crazy, I know...

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

They want free stuff and don't want to pay for things. That's the entire depth of their statement. SovCits want to take advantage of the system and get away with it but they lack the money, knowledge, or understanding of the system they are fighting to actually get anywhere.

[-] peterf@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

They want to know how to transfer a car from their corporate name to their natural name.

The loan is for their corporate self, so their natural self is not responsible. But the govt has taken money from them so they want the money they took under their corporate name transferred to their natural name,

Simple.

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

A loophole. A cheat code for real life. Any way to escape the inevitable consequences of their actions.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 7 months ago

The fantasy world these dumbasses inhabit must be great. In it, you're just one argument away from having everything magically go in your favor.

[-] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 27 points 7 months ago

Aside imbecile posting that, what are 'Friends in law' suggesting to the OP? The rabbit hole continues with more dumb proposals?

[Idiocy intensifies]

[-] falsem@kbin.social 10 points 7 months ago

I think that's the name of the Facebook group he's getting these from

[-] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

i know it is. i wonder what other group members suggests, as fun quite possibly continues past the op.

[-] crazyminner@lemmy.ml 18 points 7 months ago

It's called filing for bankruptcy.

I DECLARE BANCRUPTCY

See? Easy!

[-] Ydna@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Omg I'm gonna try it now! 🗣

[-] Treczoks@kbin.social 14 points 7 months ago

OMG. Sorry, the stupid-o-meter just broke.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

They probably replaced it with a meter of their own.
