    The sad thing is that even after going to jail, being evaluated to make sure he’s not out of his gourd, AND being shown a fair amount of leniency for his bullshit, he’s not going to learn a goddamn thing. What would be a wake up call for people not in a cult has just sent him straight back to the cult to ask for help in escalating even further.

    What’s kind of fascinating to me is that sovereign citizens seem to consistently believe that if their bullshit doesn’t work then it’s their fault for not doing the correct incantation. Like judges are the fey.

      The law is magic to them.

      They don’t understand it, but they have been told that certain spells can grant immunity.

      When the spell does not work, it is not because they have been sold a load of shit by a grifter, they just didn’t do it right.
