For anyone else curious about this particular brand of insanity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moorish_sovereign_citizens
An offshoot of the Moorish Science Temple of America, which is also the origin of the Nation of Islam.
The actual Moorish Science Temple is not approving of their sovcit offshoot, I should also point out. They're not exactly sane either but definitely not the same level of madness.
lol. I love that…
Yo we might be out there, and yeah they kinda started out being with us, but damn now? Yeah they are crazy, and we want nothing to do with them
Happens a lot with religious groups, actually.
Evangelicals: "Those snake handlers are crazy. Time to speak in tongues."
Orthodox Jews: "Those Hardi guys? They're the nuts that don't allow their members to use the internet. By the way, we have separate fridges for milk and meat."
The idea of Moorish Science Temple is sort of weird, like black people claiming to be indigenous to North America is just obviously not true. I don't think they harm people beyond nay sort of religious nonsense.
