I'm 2 paragraphs in and I'm tapping out, I'm pretty sure I can feel my brain melting from the inside and I don't wanna make a mess on my keyboard by reading further.

What in the flying hell is a “dock-ore”?

This is like Billy Madison's answer to the Industrial Revolution question.

I'll never get these people. There's this vast conspiracy... But they they intentionally leave all these fucking hints?

Why are they so infatuated with this weirdo naval law thing they have going on? Like asking judges if they adjudicate under banner of a maritime vessel according to the Queen of Roxbury statute because otherwise their conveyance would be considered void by rite of Shaka when the walls fell. They just love maritime law for some reason.

This is a sort of word salad / free association / confabulation that is typical of schizophrenia

You know how when you're a teenager, you're told you should "grow up and get a job"? Ever notice how "job" also refers to biblical texts that say at the end of your inevitable suffering, God will be with you, for he is just? Also worth noting: suffering is very close to surfing, i.e. travel via ocean, which is like a boat. Another big boat was the ark, pointing again! to the Bible. Remember when I said "grow up" earlier? That is probably because it is so close to "group", which, with the other noted connotations, ties in with biblical stories = Bible Group. Because all of these messages come together when you are a teen, obviously we are talking about children's Bible study. "Children's" can be shortened to the word "chirruns", aka "trains" so Trains Bible Study would be manufacturers instructions for freight trains, which could *also" mean "fraught trains", because ghosts.

The fallacy, among others, they're committing is called equivocation, by the way. They use a meaning of one word one minute and another the next, when it suits them to win the confrontation.

This is why debate and talking don't actually solve problems. People can and will just do stupid shit like this in bad faith to get you to acquiesce to them or stop challenging them.

People like that need ass-beatings until they're willing to conform to the dictionary's definitions of words and the rules of debate.

c/badetymology ?

Have you ever thought about about words? Have you ever thought about how some words mean some thing, while other words mean a different thing?

Words, man.

Something that I'd be interested in seeing:

Get one of these sovereign citizens to gather up all of their official ... "documents". Next, stick them on a plane and drop them off on another continent, and then watch them throw their sovereign citizen weight around, and try to get back to the country where they refuse to cooperate with basic laws, rules and regulations.

I definitely would like to see how a sovereign citizen's homemade passport would go over in Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, or Cambodia.

Took some googling but found the actual book the quote is from.

Surprisingly high rating

I am of a firm belief that what words we use do matter a lot and shapes our perception of the world but this is some outlandish shit

Edit: Link to book on drive

The hospital thing is partly true, though meaningless when it comes to avoiding taxes or speeding tickets. They weren't really a private army of the Vatican, though they did have knights and stuff. Extremely interesting fact: the Knights Hospitalier had a large (non-combat) air force for a minute due to technically being a country with no land. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1151832864494903296.html

This is some pretty off-target ideation.

Love these posts bones! I had no idea this was such a big movement.

The Venn diagram overlap of people who know how to insert footnotes and people with untreated Schizophrenia must be pretty small.

It feels like I'm reading a 4chan shitpost from someone who actually bought into all the fucking stupidity, but trimmed the part blasting the ships of relation, friend and owner.

That's a pretty convoluted way to say people are required to work under our (or really any realistic) economy.

This has to be a troll.

Please be a troll.

I love these guys, and all the conspiracy or conspiracy adjacent people (as long as they're mostly harmless.)

I'm jealous of all of them. The world they live in is so much more interesting than mine.

Holy shit the fact that this document has more than 40 footnotes is mind numbing

You know, when I was a kid, I'd see crazy people in asylums on TV shows like the 3 Stooges just laughing it up, having a great time. I thought "man, it must be great to be crazy, look at all the fun they're having, not a care in the world!" Now, as a 'grown up', I see mental illness everywhere, and those suffering from it like Trump supporters or flat earthers or sovereign citizens are so deeply angry and sad and lost, I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

Seems inspired by The Matrix with the human battery stuff

Ew. This reads like the sort of bullshit my mother regurgitates. 🤮🤮🤮

i love sovereign citizens. they just walk right into their own pitfalls and it's a joy to see.

Sovereign Citizens practicing witchcraft is my favorite thing.
