    Is it selection bias in posts here or are all these sovcit stories just someone trying to wiggle out of a debt?

      Avoiding debt is common and easy to understand. The complicated stuff – claiming to be natives, or claiming that the case of the name is not the person, or claiming stuff about no contracts existing, etc. – you gotta study some to understand any of it, and of course there’s no point in learning those details.

        I’m reasonably sure all that manoeuvring is also to avoid some debt/creditors (or debtors, I can never remember which way around it goes).

      That’s like 80% of what being a sovereign citizen is. The other 20% is arguing about the difference between driving and traveling.

      Ohh, and years of study and practice with protractors to get the exact right 45.0467 degree angle when writing random words that invalidates contracts.
