    You haven’t heard as much from them because they are being drowned out by MAGAs. Though, TBF, the overlap between flat earthers and MAGAs is pretty large.

      Don’t forget sovcits. I’m hearing more about them now and less about flat earth.

        Sovcits are… interesting.

        There’s an aspect of their philosophy that I get. Like there is a sort of magical incantation they say and proof you’re immune from the law.

        That’s sort of how courts work. We’re all about precedence, making sure that court rulings from before are applied fairly and equally. Knowing these rulings and how to apply them seems like magic to those of us who aren’t attorneys.

        And all law and court rulings are text that you can read, right? So anyone should be able to read and recite them, right?

        I sort of agree with the logic in the sense that I absolutely hate how any court action almost requires the services of an attorney. No matter how right you are, you still have to spend money to prove it in court.

        But the nonsense of not paying any taxes or not being held responsible for your actions…that is where I draw the line.
