The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Has anybody ever watched a "Sovereign Citizen" vid on YoutTube ??

These people claim that American Law does not have to be followed, because they are
" A Citizen of the World", not of any country. They get pulled over, and will refuse to
provide Id for the LEO. Most of the time, they will not even lower their window to speak
to the LEO. Almost always, they do not have license, registration, or insurance on the
vehicle. The LEO wastes about 20-30 minutes trying to reason with them, calls for backup,
and when backup arrives, they usually smash the window and drag the SV out and off to jail.
( these are dashcam and on-person camera footage video, not staged by utube "actors" "

The SV's are eerily like MAGA. It's almost like MAGA uses them as a blueprint.
They sputter bizzarro-world excuses that make no sense. They cannot be reasoned with.
You can cite facts to them all day long, and they'll just make up childish, idiotic
arguments as defense.

Had an interaction yesterday with a MAGA. They were telling me that Tesla was a great
investment. I told them that TSLA had dropped about 45% since middle of January.
They called me a liar, so I pulled up a chart and showed them. Their response was
that I was a manipulator, and I was just trying to degrade Musk. My response was
" this is not an opinion, this is the actual numbers, this is real world data".
Their response was that they don't trust the numbers.

We are getting closer and closer to living in ZombieLand.
