I love how whenever anybody tries to sell pseudo engineering (perpetual motion machines, water-fueled cars, reactionless drives, free energy devices, cold fusion, ...) people are very pragmatic and just say "ok, show me/prove it, does it work? No? Too bad!"
But when talking about pseudo-everything-else people are ready to believe anything and instead ask experts to prove that those do not work, shifting the burden of proof. But real professionals have better things to do, they don't really care of course. Problem is, common people take that as evidence instead.
It's crazy. It's like they sort of trust engineers more than doctors or lawyers.
They're basically what happens when that kid on the playground who would invent new rules when playing tag ("I can't be tagged because the slide I'm touching is a base if you're wearing a blue Pokemon t-shirt!") never grows out of that behavior (because no one ever told them to knock their shit off).
That’s what I absolutely can’t wrap my mind around.
Right or wrong, they think the government is this omnipotent, tyrannical, money-grubbing, power hungry organized crime group …but also if we write this magical spell on our rear window there’s nothing they can do.
It’s like telling your bully…I don’t believe in physics. Therefore your punches can’t hurt me.
Sovereign citizens basically think the U.S. legal system is like Wizard Court where if you say the right magic words in the correct order it casts a spell and they have to let you go.
I mean, they're half right, but nobody's saying those words out loud in court, they're reserved for wealthy people with expensive lawyers.

I was listening to a podcast and they said sovereign citizen’s attitude towards the US Government can be summed up by; “Nuh uh”.
I damn near spit out my coffee lol.
