We are seeing many people getting caught up in the whole sovereignty thing at present, some members of the media have called it out as communist crap. I decided to google this and, yes I agree there is a strong communist element to this, and people are being manipulated. These people naively many not even think this has any communistic connection, they perhaps are thinking they are being honest, they may think this is an excuse to cause a stir, they often mistakenly, think the law of the land does not apply to them. Oh yes it does, you have been deceived I am sorry to say.
I started looking into this last night, and one website with an interesting article is the Stanford Encyclopaedia of philosophy. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/sovereignty/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement
It’s a long read but I feel it’s important and reminds us to be careful of what the spin doctors are peddling. Hey I too have fallen for some of this on a spiritual level, though I don’t for a minute accept the BS these people believe, and this year has been a big wake up for me. Until I read this Stanford article, I only believe in my own form of human spiritual sovereignty, as in protecting oneself in the afterlife. But if it is man made, then it is toxic.
I keep my beliefs simple and as flexible as possible, so as not to be trapped in a belief system that is not spiritually positive and beneficial to my soul and spirit. It is up to the individual what they choose to accept and believe, but just try to be flexible in your beliefs and it may save you from a whole world of pain, and remember out there ideology such as sovereign citizen BS can cost you friends, no if’s or buts.
I personally believe in the sovereignty of a nation. I see that as a positive and protective law or belief in a nation protecting itself from harm and abuse from a foreign foe. Protecting the citizens of the nation is part of what a nation’s laws do in a civilised society.
You do not want to get hoodwinked by this sovereign citizens nonsense though. Stay right away from the conspiracy crap, it is a divide and conquer trap. Sure there can be small elements of truth to pull you in, but most of it is a commy rant. Who knows, it could even be a deep state agitator from who knows where or group of powerful individuals that bank roll these cowboys, I honestly don’t know. There sure as hell needs to be a proper investigation into this stuff. I am aware of a vast number of so called truth seekers, infesting the Internet in the past two years especially. Where do they get their information from? Much of it seems to be taken from other well known conspiracy “experts “.
However the ramping up of the sovereign citizen movement is dangerous and misleading. For example I have watched a few YouTube videos of people not showing their drivers license to police, which is the law. You must by law show your ID and or driver’s license to a police officer when asked to do so. These silly people that refuse to show ID are delusional and have been fed disinformation.
Why the hell would you put yourself in such a situation? Who benefits from this? Absolutely not the silly fool that pulls the sovereign citizen card. How much are you out of pocket from legal fees and a police record? Not to mention the expense of having to get a new window for your car after the police are forced to smash it, because you were stupid enough to refuse to show your license or ID. How embarrassing to be in such a preventable situation.
Most people never even come in contact with police and have no reason to, unless it is a random roadside check for drink drivers etc. But with the ones that do, it is usually because they have done something they shouldn’t have, like not having a drivers license, no current registration for their car etc. That is preventable and their own fault. These individuals are usually selfish people that don’t stop to think of what happens if they are involved in a car accident. How that affects the other party, and loved ones affected by this individual’s poor choices.
I think the time has come for the authorities to stamp out this stupid and dangerous activity. Things are getting way out of hand, the boundaries of common sense are being blurred and many young people are ignorant of the laws. Leading to arrest for stupidity and not learning what the real laws of their country are. Accountability folks, is part of being an adult and dealing with the choices you make.
Most nations have human rights laws to protect their citizens, so there is absolutely no need for this stupidity. Laws of course vary state to state and county to county. Look up the laws of where you live, you will find they are generally set out to benefit you. Too many people these days mistakenly think US constitutional laws protect them, even though they don’t live in the US. How on earth they come to this conclusion is beyond me, lol.
Too much time spent in la la land watching cop shows on tv perhaps. Protesters are not usually interested in learning the proper laws unless they are out to challenge them. Thus can sucker people in to following blindly, without knowing all the facts and intentions, which can turn out to be a very costly experience in more than one way. This is where teenagers can fall into this trap and parents need to be aware of what their children are involved with or taking an interest in. The last thing one needs is your children being indoctrinated with dangerous beliefs. The school of common sense must prevail.
