The person who wrote that letter is DONE dealing with sov cit shit. It's the most pointed "stop wasting our time you fucking dick for brains" I've seen yet in response to people trying this.
Car dealerships have to be the number one hot spot for sovcit shenanigans, after family court. First thing these fuckers want when they think they have unlimited money is a free truck.
And the last thing the dealerships want is for people to get away with a free truck. So they're going to come down on this shit hard.
This isn't the same as a cop pulling them over because they don't have a license plate and the cop lets them go because dealing with their shit is above his pay grade. This is their pay grade.
But - and this is for our own sovcits - no free healthcare (or soon dental and then vision) for you! Choose to exit society and renege on your obligations and you get no benefits from it. Come into a hospital and you're paying "vacationer rates" (because we have those and they're smaller numbers but they're like America).
Does this ever work? I just wonder what fuels this collective insanity. If it's never worked before, is the goal to keep trying until it does and then constitutes legal precedent?
It has never worked, but there are people online pretending it has, which makes some people who aren't very smart think maybe it'll work for them, too.
Millions of people are saddled with bills they can't pay and an uncaring and complicated bureaucracy they struggle to navigate because of poor education, then they find a community of people claiming to have the solution to all of their problems. It doesn't have to work, they just have to believe it does and they will rationalize away any sign that it doesn't. The sovcit community gives them a feeling of autonomy and control they will not easily part with.
They're very seldom a poverty problem. I never post the ones who are just trying to desperately find a solution. The ones I post are all hardcore anti government lunatics who want to get everything for free.
No response means the magic gibberish has worked, and rejection means that they move on to the next step of paper terrorism. When they wind up in court they further dig in. It's peak "us vs them" mindset.
I see this mentioned (in poor spelling every time) but what is this....coupon? It seems like they send it for everything as if it was a check to pay things.
You know with recurring bills like mortgage and car loans how they send you a little booklet with all your info so you can just drop that in the envelope too rather than write down all your info and possibly fuck things up? What would you say if I told you that you could write some magic words on it and turn it into a check that will draw on your estate with $2 million the government sets up for everyone? Well the guy featured in this post thought it was fucking genius.
No I understand what they think it does but what's the actual like object they send? Do they just write their Magic Text on those pieces of paper, and mail it off or is there like a Magic Coupon they print off?
They think everyone has anywhere from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars in secret bank accounts created by the treasury that they can access with the right paperwork.
Well, not even through the cover letter, the vin is entirely visible in the printed cover. That’s probably not great. I know anyone’s vin is totally visible in public walking by just like license plates, but it’s another thing to post it online for everyone to see.
The focus this community has on sovcits strikes me as mean-spirited and cruel. These are mostly poorly educated or mentally handicapped people with major financial issues who are being scammed by people offering false solutions to their problems.
They're honestly not that at all, a very few are whom I never post, but most of them are really obnoxious far right grifters who got this idea from Qanon and the like and are doing it because they want to stick it to the government that they hate and get what they can for free. They're actually super nasty people.
These are mostly poorly educated or mentally handicapped people
Nonsense.
In fact, grifters will tell you that educated people are much easier to grift because they think they're too smart to be scammed.
There's a reason why Jack Abramoff was able to con so many rich people out of their money and why smart people end up in cults.
Even smart people who aren't in cults can believe very silly things, as silly as what SovCits believe. Linus Pauling thinks vitamin C is a panacea. Ray Kurzweil thinks he'll be able to upload his brain to a computer in 10 years and has thought so since the 1990s. Bobby Fischer thinks Jews control the world.
Ray Kurzweil thinks he'll be able to upload his brain to a computer in 10 years and has thought so since the 1990s.
Kurzweil fervently wishes he'll be able to do this; existential angst drives many people, uneducated or not, to all sorts of religions. At least Kurtzweil is making educated guesses based on technological progress - wrong guesses, but still within the realm of reasonable.
There's no mysticism to the singularity. There's nothing preventing what he hopes for except engineering sophistication. We know most of the what, and maybe even a good chunk of the how, and we're making progress. Nothing in the idea of brain uploading depends on an ineffable spirit, or anything we can't already prove.
If we don't destroy ourselves or the planet, there's no reason we won't get there eventually. Just not soon enough for Ray or his loved ones, and probably not in time for anyone currently alive. It's not likely we'll never achieve it simply because we burn up the planet first, and run out of resources to continue frivolous research like immortality.
Just because you can find examples of educated people falling for grifts doesn't mean most people who fall for grifts are educated. Frankly, it's absurd and completely counterintuitive. You would have to show me some hard data to prove that correlation.
