question about non-current politics(?) stuff 

i know i asked this at some point before but our memory is bad, could someone explain what exactly a "sovereign citizen" is and why people say that as though it means laws don't apply to them

we saw mention of it again and i don't remember what we were told about it before but it feels like we're going to just get a whole lot of nonsense/garbage if we search it

@Felthry weird libertarian US fringe ideology that thinks that if you engage with systems of law using specific (wrong) textual interpretations, you basically get cheat codes to do whatever you want.

re: question about non-current politics(?) stuff 

@starkatt @lioness we were linked an SPLC article about the movement and the only reaction we can think of is "what the actual fuck"

it's apparently all rooted in white supremacy (because of course it is) and conspiracy theories about the US government having been secretly replaced with another government in 1933 (?????)
