Could someone finally explain me what is sovereign citizen?

They are a loosely connected group of anti government right wing people who believe they don't have to pay taxes or have license plates or driver's licenses, and try to pay bills using magical paperwork. They are sincerely hilarious and the YouTube videos are a hell of a rabbit hole.

Maybe they pay the fines using all that youtube money?

People who claim they are not a member of any country. They resent the fact they were born into a country and automatically considered a citizen of that country without their consent and then bound by their rule. They get told by grifters and other delusion people that through legal loopholes and long forgotten legal jargon they can excuse themselves from the rule of goverment.

There is something to be said for not getting to choose your birth country and yadda yadda. However, typically these people still benefit from infrastructure and protections provided by the government while refusing to be comply with the rules that come along with it IE taxes, regulations, rules.

They try to use magic to become immune from the law.
