It says so right here! Now if someone could kindly just point it out to me...
It definitely says that in the dictionary. Not in that order, but still...
I know the answer is “logic”, but seriously.
The state owns the roads, not your car. The license is saying you’re approved to drive a registered car on their roads. Don’t like it? Then don’t drive.
“But muh taxes!”… I thought you said you were a citizen of your own country, not theirs.
You missed some nuance. Don't drive on their roads. You can drive unregistered vehicles on your own property with no issues. Many homesteaders and farmers do this with work trucks that never leave their property.
That's where the edges of these people's thinking begins. There's so many tiny caveats that they believe there has to be some secret set of true rules out there for people clever enough to crack the code.
The Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom, would NEVER craft a Constitution that didn't give everyone freedom. The word Constitution literally means freedom. Anyone who does their own research knows that. It's this new corrupt government that twists the words around to benefit themselves!
Now we wait and see who thinks I'm kidding and who thinks I'm serious. 😁
I can tell you not serious because every word in that sentence is correctly spelled and you have used correct punctuation.
the corrt thing too donis use a mix of capterlision AND incect - hyphanation
Post the same on Reddit and then compare the results.
What if I travel instead of driving tho...
I'm sorry that this link is on FB, but that's what came up on a web search. Mr Show was so ahead of its time.

Good grief. These SovCits are ripe for being targeted by pyramid schemes.
They got scammed into being SovCits in the first place. Lots of them pay large amounts of money for the "secrets." They'll pay $200 to get out of a $50 ticket. And then not get out of paying the ticket.
David Straight and Anna von Reitz and Malika Dulce are all the scammers. They charge thousands sometimes.
Surely there's a lot more than just those three. Including scammers being scammed themselves.
Well those are the kooks who are notorious. I am sure there are more.
You pay thousands for this surefire method. Now, it doesn't work of course, but it's the principle of the thing. Deal?
Once again I'm reminded that I could make so much money if I didn't have this pesky conscience.
At least this one seems kinda skeptical about what they read and wants to find the actual statute.
…do they? They make a statement…and then ask someone else to do the legwork to prove it.
Well, there is an 'if true'. And it's hard to prove a negative.
Why do they think that issuing licenses equates to ownership?
Because they don't understand what words mean. Something they show pretty much every time they post.
It feels like they're using the definition/use case of software licensing and applying it to motor vehicles. As in, "If I have to get a license from you, then you are the owner and I am just the licensee".
Its a bonkers misapplication of the word, but that never stops a Sovcit.
actually, that usage makes sense if you realize that you're licensing the roads, not the car.
Except the Sovcit above is extending the "license" to the equal state ownership of the car.
Oh I'm not defending the Sovcit in the slightest. I'm just pointing out that the license still works in the same way as a software license, but the license is for the roads.
Because of your posts, I wrote a 10 minute short film about a SovCit. Will try to save this year so I can fund next year. Last year’s film is doing well on the film festival circuit this year though.
That is absolutely wonderful and I can't wait to see it!
Good luck! It's a good topic for a film.
Got it done, but messaging between kbin and lemmy isn’t working. I’ll create a lemmy account.
Thanks, Squid. I’m rereading the first draft today if you want to read it later
I would also love to read! If you're ok with that.
Sure!
They seem to like this one. I've seen that idea pop up more than once. Out of all of their stupid nonsense, you'd think at least this one they could figure out never happens for anyone ever.
I declare ownership of this car!
...
That's how it works, right?
Why not just walk into a dealership and help yourself to a set of keys and drive off, because you say so?
That is a wild ass If/Then statement.
if the state had to pay you to drive to the Piggly Wiggly to pick up a case of Miller High Life they'd simply be like "Don't."
