Sovereign citizens have magical thinking around words and their meaning and it's mind boggling.

You know, when I was a kid, I'd see crazy people in asylums on TV shows like the 3 Stooges just laughing it up, having a great time. I thought "man, it must be great to be crazy, look at all the fun they're having, not a care in the world!" Now, as a 'grown up', I see mental illness everywhere, and those suffering from it like Trump supporters or flat earthers or sovereign citizens are so deeply angry and sad and lost, I almost feel bad for them. Almost.
Don’t forget all the other shitty things on display. Bad habits, anger problems, addiction, poverty, ostentatious wealth, authoritarianism…. You mentioned the 3 Stooges, and man that show was full of everything wrong. But that’s what made it funny. Everyone could see some of the same thing in their daily lives.
