These "Sovereign Citizen" groups are a menace.

[Lee-Lee]

10. They are a huge scourge for sure

They are cut from the same cloth as people like 9/11 truthers. They get this idea that they know more than everyone else and are smarter than everyone else and they thrive in thag feeling of superiority it gives them. As part of that they ignore or find reasons to discredit anything that doesn’t fit what they want to be true, misconstrue things to mean things they don’t, put full faith in things false but presented by fellow believers as truth, and take tiny shreds of what is legitimate and use that to justify 1000x more that isn’t.

Except they do it with the law. The sovereign citizen movement is essentially a giant conspiracy theory that revolves around the law and legal system in the USA being illegitimate and only they know the truth and what they say is the real legitimate law. All the courts and government and police are an illegitimate conspiracy against them.

And then, fancing themselves bigger experts than everyone else they proceed to act on that via the legal system, as you said abusing it with false filings and claims.

So in their delusion about what they feel the law says, when the system doesn’t actually work that way they see themselves as the oppressed victims, being assaulted. They see attempts to enforce the actual law as an attack on them since they think it’s all fake and being used to oppress them.

And that’s what makes them really dangerous.
