      I always had some sympathy with them. It just seems like they want off this awful capitalistic treadmill we find ourselves on. Everyone always laughs and belittles them, but I’m always rooting for em just a lil bit

        Are they anti-capitalist or anti-government? Maybe some are both, but it seems like many of these types are probably capitalist and don’t want the government to get in the way of corporations screwing people.

          I doubt they would be able to articulate the difference between ant capitalist vs government. They’re just giant whiny man babies.

        If they went and lived in some remote mountain village or something I wouldn’t mind.

        But they claim all of this while driving without a licence or insurance. Would you be as sympathetic to their cause if they hit your car and cause serious damage?

        I sort of understand their point but they’ve also been unimaginably selfish and entitled and that’s the part I can’t get behind. Also every single one of them is, without fail, an utter moron.

        SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they’ve found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

          They’re desperate and aware there’s something wrong with the system they’re in, without having the education or experience to realize that the people running it don’t actually care about the rules.
