The private tag is "I Shoot Highwayman" which is just too long.

We should rename this community to sovpeoplefacebook
The thing is a lot of the insane people of Facebook are crazy in a depressing way, like they're schizophrenic or conservative or antivaxxers and it just makes me sad. Sovcits are guaranteed hilarity who are doing this to themselves. So they make for good content.
I'm here for it!
Well there's his problem. He's driving a paper car.
Should sovcit just be it's own community? Every post here seems to be about them
Don't see others (myself included) jumping up and down to post. OP is practically keeping the lights on single-handedly here. I'm not complaining.
- it's insane, and
- it's Facebook.
'nuf said.
And every second comment is about splitting or renaming this community
They're so reliably crazy though.
At least someone is posting content.
At least this community knows what a sovcit is.
Why are you complaining about someone posting appropriate content, instead of posting other crazy Facebook people to diversify content?
Is it on FB? Yes Is it an insane person? Yes
I think it's appropriate here
A lot of us have been encouraging Bones to keep posting here lately because it keeps the community alive
Also, it's addictive. The posts make your head hurt, but the erudite comments make the pain go away.
Why? These are insane people and posts. Seems to fit in. I think other posts are allowed also. Be the change you wish to see.
Exactly. Stop thinking like Reddit where everything needs some tiny niche community. Lemmy is not big enough yet. If you don't like it, block the words "sovcit" or "sovereign" and you won't see them.
I don't make people only look at what I like. I say "that's dumb", downvote, and move on.
Private tags for private roads. The state owns the public roads and represents the public. We've all agreed to pitch in costs and register vehicles on our roads. If you want to use them, that's all you have to do, otherwise it's trespassing.
I love how they act like they didn't essentially force the cops to remove them from the car. I'm no fan of cops basically ever, but they're generally way more patient with sovcits than I would be. I'd be telling them we can skip right to the part where I break their window because I have other shit to do than listen to nonsense for 20 minutes. We all know where the conversation is going, let's just move it along.
Considering sovcits have killed cops, cops are right to be apprehensive with them. I am no fan of cops either but honestly sovcits should be considered very dangerous.
I can say policy in my area is that when an officer gets a whiff of sovereign citizen, they immediately call for available backup.
They should. Any extremist should be treated with caution, even as silly as these twits are.
Whoa I've never heard of that. What happened?
It's an awful story ( https://abcnews.go.com/WN/deadly-arkansas-shooting-sovereign-citizens-jerry-kane-joseph/story?id=11065285). These father and teenage son sovcits got pulled over in Arkansas and started shooting, killed two cops. There was more gunfire and eventually both sovcits died as well.
Ugh. Imagine going through your life so scared and paranoid that you’re ready to do a mass shooter style “I’m taking as many people with me as I can” shooting.
I like how this guy has a folder for this scenario.
Or he could just keep his registration and license current, like the rest of us, and not have drawn out pointless arguments with the cops.
But he's not arguing! He doesn't answer questions because he's private and thus travelling, which isn't driving, and thus he doesn't need to answer the questions, thereby in accordance with UCC 101.69-LOL... /S
When I was 24 I met a guy who was enjoying wierd concepts and philosophy, as one does, as I also do. We traded some books and ideas, he was around for a few months. But he got into SovCit stuff talking with me. I thought, this guys nice, but he dont shower much, I dont know about this SovCit stuff.
A few months later the national police force showed up at my house looking for one of my guys, he wasnt there but I took the opportunity to ask the officers about this SovCit idea... they were angry at first but once I calmed them down they explained to me that SovCits are just nutters that lose in court...
And thats the story of how I learned not to go to jail by trying to make up my own rules as I go along.
One thing they could try to reduce the chances of this happening again is to stop being a sovcit. I hear that shit works wonders.
