OPSEC FAILED SUCCESSFULLY
It now says it has exceeded its monthly scan limit, oh god what have you done 🤣
Imagine your “official” identification and method of reinforcing your citizen status to people running out of views.
Ok I’ll fix.
It’s hit its monthly scan limit, which really goes to show where a pure libertarian society would fall down.
Imagine you get pulled over and your ID asks for a funding top up so it can be scanned
Yikes
If it expires in the year 9999, why would she get a second one just about 2 months later?
I love the way they think “without prejudice” are magic words and as such put them in the oddest places.
“I’ll have a burger and fries without prejudice. So nowi can pay you in wooden nickels, right?”
Fucking Lancaster. Checks out.
Meth, Amish, and the Klan. Oxford is like the result of some demented game of cosmic Mad Libs.
“… So everything will smell like cat pee and horse manure, and the farmers wear strawhats and grow dogs, and the primary religion is racism.”
To anyone wondering how you grow dogs: Amish puppy mills.
No different than where I live, although it immediately brings to mind, I never see any buggies or horse or mule in the store parking lots, so how did they get there?! I doubt they walked, that would be a few days’ walk.
Amish people can hire people to drive them around. Amish contractors sometimes have their own trucks, and use them to interact with the English.
Alternate theory: they figured out teleporters and keep horses mostly to trick the English into thinking they have nothing worth colonizing them for, but also to keep their buddies in the buggy industry in business and because they like horses. Mostly that last one but the other two reasons are still important.
The horses are the ones that open up the interdimensional portals. Obviously.
Thank you!
Lots true but you don’t have to say it.
lol 9999, classic Rookie error, it will come to bite your ass when it is the year 10000
I doubt the world will make it far enough for that to matter.
Should have used ♾️ though.
I, as a non US user, don’t get this. What’s up with the ugly business cards with way too much info, that look like fake ID cards?
We call these sovereign citizens. They are a loosely connected group of conspiracy theorists who believe by invoking the correct legal terms, they can be covered by, but not behold to, the laws and regulations of the USA.
Sometimes it’s just someone who doesn’t want to pay taxes. Other times you get this, occasionally they do weird ass communes.
So… Like self proclaimed parasites huh?
The Wikipedia article on it wonderful.
They’re fake ID cards.
Germany has these nutjobs too. They sometimes turn violent and kill or harm state agents. They are called Reichsbürger, because they claim the German Reich, which ceased to exist in 1945, actually still exists and by invoking their magic spells you won’t have to pay parking tickets or taxes. They are often very close to Nazis and are all idiots and assholes.

I’m acting astonished
I expect they just get fines for not paying parking tickets and taxes though right?
State agencies are somehow not susceptible to their magic, so yes. They are treated as a fringe group that is becoming more dangerous, though.
See a lot from Australia too. They like to quote the US Constitution. The jokes write themselves.
I mean, if these suckers are just waving their wallets around looking for someone to make an object to codify their insane beliefs into a physical object to kake themselves feel more secure and proud… why is this any different to selling gold crucifixes?
Well, for one gold has intrinsic value (or at least some value in any other context.)
Those cards have value. You could use them to break up some cocaine and make lines or open a poorly secured locked door.
Yes, about the same value as any piece of scrap plastic.
At least there’s a significant population that respects crucifix’s.
Why even have an expiration date if it’s set to year 9999.
It will still expire then, so it isn’t even valid at year 10000.
If it was blank, it would be less reassuring. And the whole point of the “document” is to make the recipient feel more comfortable. It includes all the magic words specific to this “secret trick” that means you don’t have to worry any more now that you paid us your money.
Until of course they try to actually use it for anything. Then it pretty immediately stops being comforting. They must have accidentally got one of the words wrong or something, so they order a new one that is slightly different because someone showed them that one and it for sure has all the right words on it and it will definitely work. You can relax again.
They really do seem to think saying the right words is like casting a spell on the federal government
Cargo cult
Remember Q? Yeah. Good times, good times.
The laminate is too small on the bottom one and it bothers me
I love that it includes information the real car that doesn’t have. Like fields for hair and eye color, you know in case the image is just too hard to look at. And an expiry date, if your card expires thousands of years in the future you probably don’t need to keep track of it.
Also it’s a solvent citizen why does the card expire at all?
Also what’s with the really long random ID number. That’s definitely not legitimate.
Also what’s with the really long random ID number.
It looks like a [Year][month][day] timestamp of when the card was made plus some more random seeming numbers at the end. Maybe just random, maybe number of milliseconds since midnight, up to 86,400,000 (2:21am? is that the kind of time someone makes their own ID cards?)
That’s definitely not legitimate.
nothing about this is remotely legitimate lol
Hair and eye color are included on real driver’s licenses.
Don’t you know, the longer the ID number the more seriously the government has to take it
It’s possible that the ID number is the one she got from filing the UCC-1. I used to work for my state’s Department of State where we would put the UCC-1 forms that were submitted on file and issue a file number that was similar to her ID. The main significance of that number was that the UCC was filled. Of course, our office would reject any UCC filings if they were obviously a sovereign citizen (and sovereign citizens are usually not subtle), but some states don’t do that.

- Background is the flag used by the United States Government
- References US law multiple times
- “Nationality: … The United States of America”
Aren’t they lovably crazy?
“While the sovereign citizen movement was originally associated with white supremacism and antisemitism, it now attracts people of various ethnicities, including a significant number of African Americans. The latter sometimes belong to self-declared Moorish sects.”

Yes I’m in a Moorish sovcit group actually and take some posts from them. They’re mostly less loudly crazy than the white ones in my opinion, mostly speak in gibberish that doesn’t translate well to Lemmy. I am not sure they’re any saner, just they speak in a weird fashion. I’ll post the Moorish sovcit passport later on.
@bonesofthemoon do you have personal experience with sovereign citizens?
Not that I’m aware of. I got interested them via Mark Pitcavage the ADL researcher who has an interesting Twitter and shares lots of stuff about them, so I joined a bunch of their Facebook groups out of curiosity and now they’re my regular source of entertainment. I have a general interest in right wing extremists, mostly I do stuff with white supremacists, but this is a funny side interest.
Nice. It’s interesting stuff, thanks for posting.
It sure is a wild underground of crazy!
The person who made this is either brilliant or insane.
The person who is selling it is brilliant, the person buying it is insane.
The latter.
