The ol "I'm rubber youre glue" defense

accurate as fuck. The only thing stopping many cops from doing this now is the paperwork.

People always hear about the white fringe/crazies/cults but its not like every other racial group is immune. From the the one you mentioned to the Black Hebrew Israelites to Jesus Morning Star (Korea) to Sanatan Sanstha (India) theres culty shenanigans all over the world.

For all the information in that article I am surprised they completely ignored the actual factual basis for their belief. The famous Dred Scott v. Sandford has never been actually overturned, the common legal view is that it was abrogated by the 14th Amendment. The 14th amendment only applies to those subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and as such a representative of a foreign entity nor their children would not qualify relevant USCIS guidelines for those children. Descendants of the Moors, a hard to define group dispersed worldwide, and Hawaiians, the Hawaiian Kingdom being overthrown by US mainland farmers on the island, could claim allegiance to their original sovereign. Technically this would mean that not only does the 14th amendment not apply but Dred Scott baring citizenship to non-whites would apply. It is a view many Jurists have actually expressed see dissent of UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK and would serve as basis for the more out there claims. In such a scenario a person becomes merely property and their only way to legally engage in living is to be a corporation (ala citizens united) that is auto-protected by a corporate veil (shielding liability). This stuff is definitely fringe but not crazy, I look at it as people confronting the system and demanding either America overturning many troubled past transgressions or give them the benefit of the disparate treatment. The surprised pikachu comes in when the Jurist decides to split the difference and deny both forms of relief.

Thanks for posting. That's fascinating. Had no idea there were multiple subcultures within this mess.

It’s pretty heavily tied to the right wing/white nationalist movement. That was my understanding, anyway. And there is a sort of…stereotype of the kind of person who buys into it. Terminally online, uneducated, angry white people. Upset over the smallest perceived inconvenience. It’s a white rage thing. People of color, again, sort of stereotypically, know that while there are problems with the government and their power/exercise of it, that there are real problems to deal with. The stuff that seems to piss off the terminally online right wing white people are usually very small, very stupid things.

It actually has roots in the white supremacist 'religion' that is called Christian Identity dating back to 1971, which is still active today as well. In the 1990s the Moorish Science Temple began having an offshoot of sovcits among their members. There is also a Hawaiian sovcit movement.

I'm stealing this.

Or are they, at the very core, just greedy assholes trying to take all the benefits without contributing back?

It's this. They are the adult equivalent of the toddler that steals the cookies and then tells the parent "I can't be in trouble because those cookies are mine", while blissfully unaware that you have to buy cookies and they don't just appear on the shelf.

"Cookies" in this analogy is the societal contract. I realize that analogy may have been a little dense.

Yeah, this ideology doesn't have a solid leg to stand on within the current framework of lifestyle options available to everyone.

I honestly can't parse out who in all this is crazy, dumb, selfish, or some combo platter of the above.
