Seeing this makes me now wonder how the whole SovCit thing would work with a leftist/progressive ideology. Because all of the SovCit types that I've seen or heard of--though admittedly, that's a couple dozen at best; they irritate me too much to go actively looking for their nonsense--tend to come off as varying levels of right/conservative.

I'd say the SovCit types common trend is they are stupid but think that using big words makes them smart and that it works like a magic spell on the police or something. Similar to woke really in that aspect. Lots of big important sounding words strung together in a way that means nonsense but acts like a magic incantation that lets you alter reality to your whim.

The SovCit types seem to me to come from more of an anti-authoritarian strand which I'd say is more of a left wing anti-establishment ideological mindset but they are so stupid that any real analysis of their ideological positions is simply an act of insanity itself. They basically just want to get out of traffic tickets and have convinced themselves that they are somehow right and can just spout bullshit to get out of it. Kinda like a toddler that tries to explain why they aren't in trouble and not doing the thing they are obviously doing when caught red handed.

One thing to say that the cops shouldn't have the right or don't have the legal right to do something, another thing to argue with the guy that has the gun. As I've always said there's a good place and time to fight the cops and stand up for your rights, and that place is court.

there ARE some cults that try to pull the same deal but with an ethnic twist--Nuwaubians claiming Black people aren't from Africa and were the original residents, fake Native tribes, fake Prince Hall Masonic lodges (Kamala Harris was caught giving them deputies' badges and the doctor who killed Michael Jackson tried to flee with a fake "get out of jail free" card)

another funny dimension here is that these groups aren't "liberal" in the US sense--most Cherokee leaders sided with the Confederates because the chieflings were slaveowners, they adopted the one-drop rule to cut thousands from their membership as late as the 1990s, and an open Prince Hall meeting was the only place I had to recite the Pledge of Allegiance after leaving high school
