I wonder how much time they wasted trying to save a dollar on postage.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I don’t know but at $15 an hour, you’re getting paid a quarter a minute and last I checked the stamp was like $.59

Jan. 21, 2024 new rates include a 2-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, from 66 cents to 68 cents.

Bullshit I bought forever stamps… 5-10 years ago… so… that!!!

I'm not sure sovcits are holding down jobs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The funny part is some of them are, but arguing with their boss that they are exempt from taxes which always ends up badly for them.

Why do all SovCits have the worst handwriting?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They aren't entirely literate, so writing is awkward for them.

Edit: And I actually don't mean that as a dig. A huge percentage of the American populace is functionally illiterate or close to it.

It's the same family of like 5 people 😂

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ehh... You should see mine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (5 children)

In truth, mine isn't great either. It's not all shaky and squiggly like these folks, though, just sloppy.

Probably a central tremor caused by chronic stress, can be a symptom of bipolar or schizophrenia.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's called essential tremor btw. And it's not a symptom of bipolar as far as I know. That's more psychomotor agitation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah, my step-dad thinks he has them, but we all know it's the DTs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

It's the meth that makes you shaky.

I'm trying to decide if my favorite part about sovcits is their absolute cognitive dissonance, or the fact that they have a supreme knack for cherry-picking parts of US law they expect to have applied to or for them when they want to omit everything else in it.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My favourite part is how absolutely taken aback they are when one of their schemes doesn't work.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In a similar way, I love how it's not just that it didn't work, but they get mad because they think the other party is lying about it. Like the utility company knows full well they have to take whatever worthless coupon is offered, but are just refusing because they think the SovCit will give up.

They are going to be so pissed when they find out that the postal service can reject their letter because the sending or receiving party does not have a mailbox of an acceptable shape, size or made of acceptable material.

It's actually a little smarter than most of these idiots. At least he can honestly say he "tried" to pay the bill. It's not his fault the USPS took his envelope and had it destroyed because it was a biohazard.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At a certain point you spend more wasting your time writing all that crap than you would spend just buying a stamp.

Possibly in blood. Yuck.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yes and probably in blood I would imagine…

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago

Blood dries very dark red or brown on paper. It might look different in person but based on the pic I don’t think it’s blood, just red ink. That said I wouldn’t blame anyone handling it for putting gloves on because whoever sent this is clearly unhinged.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Seems like good news if you are in the Postal Service. If it has blood on it you get to seal it in a bag and not have to deal with it 

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Yes , a sovcit trope is that a red ink and thumbprint or fingerprint magically do something.

Maybe he should put all that shit onto a cover sheet instead of doing unreadable scribbles all over the envelope...

I think it'll get rejected because it doesn't say ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

WITH PREJUDICE*

Or was it WITHOUT? All that magic mumbo-jumbo is so confusing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

What is the deal with these people? Other than obvious mental illness I mean.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago

Apparently, a lot of them are trying to find a way to avoid paying child support.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It makes them feel powerful. They have the hidden incantation that sets them above the rest of the proles. I would imagine the venn diagram of flat earthers and sovereign citizens overlaps a lot.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Also absolves them of contributing to society completely. They're freeloaders

They get convinced by someone on the internet that the government is all a scam and pay large sums of money to some guru to learn their methods, who then vanish into the ether as their new student loses their home or car.

Sovcits have roots in white supremacy.

Personally I think the mindfully placed Bible in the background of the shot is my favorite part of this gong show of a post.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Nah that one's got a thumb print it's legit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

What makes them think that American laws protect them if they arent Americans?
