"I'm a sovereign human being, I stand under common law only" - Thread of Freemen

all this stuff just sort of makes me sad. not the sort of crazy they have so much- sun ra had pretty much the same sort of crazy and he did fine- but the fact that they can't make their particular crazy work for them like sun ra did. can't we just book all these folks into jazz big bands?

Sun Ra was from Saturn – different kind of deal here.

True.

Someone I know kind of "got into" the sovereign booshit in the mid-'00s. We don't talk about it much, and they live far away now, but it saddens me, and I haven't felt like looking into the madness of it all very closely, but I'm sure it's baroque.

It's extra-weird because they identify, emphatically, as Sinti (Middle-European / Central Asian; nomadic; aka "gypsy," but not Romani either) instead of white, and, again emphatically, as non-heterosexual (but not "gay" or "lesbian" in any normative sense either), and as Sufi Muslim, despite having been born to (at least nominally) white Lutheran parents in the rural Midwest. Go figure.

i think some people can adopt all sorts of fantasy conceptions of themselves if they're bored and dissatisfied enough

even the Freemen mania has a side of wishing the world was more magical, buried away in the feckless selfishness

Indeed. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, some of this emerged during an extended period of recovery from an injury. Still, they are genuinely very intelligent and talented and have a great sense of humor as well, and having known them over decades it simply wouldn't occur to me to question their self-identification as Sinti, non-heterosexual, and Sufi. The sovereign stuff, though, they can fuck right off with that.

Um, this thread isn't indexed, searchably, for Google, is it?

Searched on "Thread of Freemen" in quotes. Up came this thread.

*Is* it still possible to deindex a thread, specifically this thread? Because that would be really great, due in part to my indiscretion, for which I apologize. I didn't use any names or genders, but still, they'd recognize themselves instantly. :\

it is, you should prob post in mod request forum so someone sees it and either the thread can be deindexed or your identifying descriptions can be edited.

Thank you, call all destroyer. Will do.

Intra group squabbles after Malhuer and drunken (possible) murder.

Modernity, war, and economic devastation will do a lot to people not given a safety net, socially or psychologically.

libs so bleeding heart that we have to feel compassion for violent reactionaries too now? sometimes fascistic will to power is just fascistic will to power.

He added, “When it comes to overthrowing a government, you have to start off peacefully.”

^Perfectly achieves that difficult mix of careful weighty thought and wild-eyed crazy.

If those people violently oppose being given a safety net, fuck em

nah they want a safety net, just not those moochers

You can only withdraw funds from Were-Bank when the moon is full

I thought it might be where you kept your wergild, which seems like the sort of concept these folks would claim is still in effect.

An actual friend of mine has started posting stuff like this. Really worried about his mental state.

i'm sorry!

A tiny sign affixed to the office door of County Mayor Terry Frank's chief of staff has sparked a big uproar in the latest bizarre twist in Anderson County politics.

The sign, "Lesser Civil Magistrate," on Richard Burroughs' door is linked to the sovereign citizens movement, County Commissioner Steve Mead contends. Mead says the FBI lists that subculture as a "domestic terrorist group."

There is some chutzpah in working for a gubmint paycheck and declaring yourself a sovereign citizen at the same time.

ppl who think ron swanson is real

gonna reach a point where local government officials are going to need to be screened by listing any constitutional beefs & if the answer includes the 14th amendment and allcaps = hard pass

also lol @ this

After a closed-door, executive session with the county law director Monday night, commissioners passed a motion that any signs on the outside of courthouse doors that open onto hallways — other than those required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or designating an office — are to be removed.

we're doomed

Bold attempt

We have started to get these billboards in my town. They are appearing all over the country.

Seems surprisingly well resourced.

Well, they are quite a big bank

A nutball has no /legal/ name.

Very well resourced - there is one on the north side of London Bridge station, visible to all the traffic coming south over the bridge iirc.

A quick look at the website confirms what I've been saying for years - YouTube must be stopped.

The woman behind it was in tech and owns an ISP which explains where the money comes from but raises questions about why the website is so bad.

Is LEGAL NAME underlined, or is that something sticking out from the car in front?

Underlined.
