It's a shame because I agree with them in principle (I don't feel like a UK citizen, I feel like a human) but they seem to lack awareness of reality. Yes, the government is overbearing and an unjustified power in your life, no that doesn't mean you can pretend they don't exist and not face consequences. I wish it were that easy

I do not know who you are and I do not understand your intent

My dude, the name of the organization and the stated intent of the letter is literally in the envelop you're writing on top of.

That's a lot of magik incantations right there or plain old ignorant wishful thinking - I'm not sure which.

I did know a guy that tried to be a sovereign citizen. He was never the brightest wick in the candelabra and was also a huge conspiracy nut and misinformed health nut ever. Overall, he was pretty harmless and never caused anyone any problems. Just a really strange guy.

All rights reserved, "without prejudice".

Are you sure about that, buddy?

"I'm a sovereign citizen your laws don't apply to me, except when they pertain to rights that I like"

I wouldn't mind the movement too much if they actually practiced what they preached and went and lived on some large ranch somewhere in the middle of nowhere and grew all their own food and never left.

They pretend that it's like going back to basics hunter gatherer lifestyle, but really it's just about not paying taxes.

I think this person will find that they are very much a citizen of the United States of America.

Only thing worse than citizenship is statelessness.

You think the government is fucking you over now? Wait till you're denied legal residency practically anywhere on earth and your very existence is considered a criminal trespass.

Stay in airport limbo forever

I still think we should just take them at their word and deport them.

Have them go through customs every time they leave their property to get groceries. Get yourself a conscientious officer who makes sure he doesn't have enough hours in a day to fetch something he forgot on his first run. Btw, tough luck with your utilities, I assume it's quite a lot of paperwork for international piping and electrical connections, especially if your utilities company is motivated not losing 100$ a month.

That doesn’t solve the problem if they get in trouble somewhere else. Also they’d be bothering future Americans wherever we send them

Not if we deport them to, say, the moon.

That’s still America. Source: 🇱🇷 was there first

Oh yeah, the old star and stripes.

Meanwhile me, "No one by that name has lived here since at least X" or "No such business at this address, the LLC was dissolved in 2017". I get a lot of credit card offers for previous owners and businesses they sat up. Sometimes for businesses that haven't existed in years.
