Is this the kind of people who post disclaimers in social media that "unauthorize" the company running said social media from using the "content" they post there?

The best thing about sovereign citizens is they're the only ones not in on the joke.
And they so persistently do not understand why their BS doesn't work.
Honestly their BS does kind of work they just seem unable to grasp that all the things they're saying also apply to everyone else. They don't have to aknowledge their electricity providers authority to charge them for electricity and the electric company doesn't have to keep supplying it. Its like some kind of extreme narcisicm.

I too find laughing at people with serious mental illness so wholesome /s
Not everything is mental illness, some people are just dumb and smug about it.
This is though.

I am assuming you posted this in jest, so forgive me if I've missed the bus, but these are actually very important things to ask for everyone when approached by LE. Charges get dismissed when they answer them wrong or inaccurately. I many cases, they do not have the right to withhold an articulable suspicion, so getting their lack of a response is extremely important, and these two questions are how you get that.
That said, people can also use them to be obnoxious, so I also assume that might have been the joke here. Sorry again. I'm very dense.
If these people are not citizens of any country, they’d have to be deported to International Waters for not holding a visa right?
I know you’re just making a joke but statelessness is actually a huge headache for both the individual and Governments in dealing with them.

Well the ocean doesn't discriminate.
Stateless people (not this whacko) are often stateless through no fault of their own. Shifting borders, oversight in government policy, or legal discrimination have deprived them of the rights and privileges they are entitled to.
Pretty much wherever they go, they have a hard time getting ID, enrolling in school, finding legal housing or work, etc.
About 100K Armenians were just made stateless and kicked out of Azerbaijan recently. You didn't hear about it because of Israel and no one cares about Azerbaijan.
These were people who predated the Soviet Union, became part of the Soviet Union, outlasted the Soviet Union, and then wanted their own country. They were living on land claimed by Azerbaijan but they understandably thought "That's a made up country. They just made it up. We can make up our own country."
Unfortunately, "living somewhere for a hundred years" doesn't count for much today. So Azeris kicked them out of their homes and they had to leave to Armenia. Azerbaijan is now eyeing Armenian territory and these people have to apply for Armenian citizenship, through no real fault of their own.
Just to to a fucking airport, god.
What?

Based on a true story for the most part. I honestly can't remember how much they changed. It's been a long time since I read about the real story.
Very changed. And, worse, whitewashed. The original man was Iranian. The was a French film made about the situation too. A white man played him in that movie as well. Plus, it was a comedy.
One of my favorite youtubers munecat made a great video on Sovereign Citizens and how the brain rot is going international
Lots of countries have a variant of these crazies. e.g. Freemen of the Land in the UK, Ireland & commonwealth, Reichsburger in Germany. It all boils down to the same thing - very, very stupid people think they can steal property, dodge taxes or get out of legal trouble with pseudo legal incantations based on misinterpretation of obscure treaties or defunct laws. And naturally what happens is they miraculously transform minor infractions into massive fines and actual prison time. Very, very stupid people and occasionally very dangerous.

I don't even understand what they are citing.
The sov cit folks think that laws are magic words, and if you recite them in the right order you can do anything you want.
So like... delusional Harry Potter fans.
Harry brandishes his wand in the familiar circular pattern and shouts: "HABEAS CORPUS". He can feel the spell take effect. The judge's eyes glaze over, and she releases Harry's client due to lack of sufficient evidence to hold them.
