Can someone explain what this is? Do Americans have documents proving you exist?

It's a soggy piece of cardboard that "they" give you at birth and you have to hold onto it with your tiny baby hand, and then you have to keep it until you're like 90 years old. If this soggy, easy to lose or destroy card gets lost or destroyed you have to prove to the magically animated statue of Abraham Lincoln himself that you're American to get a replacement.
This card is explicitly not an ID card, but the only thing it ever gets used for is as an ID card.
Yea we do. Social security number card. You use those, a birth certificate, drivers license, and two pieces of reputable mail (for proof of existence and address) to do most big ticket purchases or verify yourself before cars, houses, clearances, update drivers license. Etc...etc...
Looks like that piece of paper containing an American's social security number
Did he...just disappear??? 😐🫥
If he was fully committed to the bit, he wouldn't have hidden his SSN from this picture.
I dislike anyone who uses ion like that.
That's an actual thing? I thought it was just a typo.
ion care
You need to unionize
What a charged comment
I'm not being negative!
Are you positive?
OOF
He's going off the grid! This guy doesn't have a social security number for Roy!
That looks remarkably fragile for something so important. Isn't your SSN also on your passport/drivers license?
Not any more.
For the longest time my home state used SSNs as drivers license numbers. I think the federal government finally told them to stop, and years ago now we all got new randomly generated numbers on our licenses instead of SSNs.
So what's the next step in this brilliant plan, then?
Notify through the proper channels and with fancy legal jargon:
"I destroyed MY copy so you now have to destroy YOURS, United States government!"
Notices of liability to all and sundry.

Careful Boney, you're starting to sound like them.
Sometimes I give them benignly bad advice, like they need to submit the T86 form to the bureau of allodial titles and good governance via their sheriff's office and it has to have a wet ink signature and a fox stamp. I have no idea what I mean by any of this but they're almost sold on fox stamp.
This is sinister
I declared it!
Ripping up the social security card doesn't actually remove the number from the system, so the sovereign citizen accomplished nothing.
