    Folks who lost their parental rights are a popular target for SovCit influencers/conmen. They offer “cheat codes” to a legal system they feel has victimized them.

  • So many of these SovCits seem to be deadbeat fathers. That mention of child support is a dead giveaway that SovCit is a contemptible piece of shit who got someone pregnant and is now trying to dodge even the most basic ethical responsibility.

    If it weren’t for the occasional SovCit Karens, I could easily believe SovCit is mainly motivated by men trying to avoid paying child support. At least the Karens seem largely motivated by anti-vax, which is trying to do what they think is best for their kid. They may be misinformed, ignorant, and/or stupid, but at least they are trying to care for their kids, and that’s respectable.

      I think desperation drives men and women who have to pay child support into this BS. For a blue collar worker making ends meet is hard enough without thousands of dollars being skimmed off of their paycheck. It drives people to work under the table, then they can afford to live but may not have healthcare and certainly no savings going into social security. I’m not making excuses for people rather I think it’s an indictment of poor governance. Lack of sex education and birth control, poor wages causing stress on families, weak social safety net, unaffordable health insurance. None of these are isolated problems

      • Yes. Although the phrasing “skimmed off of their paycheck” implies that it’s unfair, when IMO it’s responsibility.

        Ironically, if there’s poor sex-ed, they’re largely responsible for that, too, by voting in dumb fucks who’d rather pretend teens are just magically not going to have sex if they don’t have access to condoms and education.

        But, yes: income disparity is at catastrophic levels with wealth concentrated in a few people who really need to be introduced to Mangione[1], the lack of universal healthcare is a disgrace, and the only warfare is class warfare.

      Many of them can never get over the fact that their “bitch of an ex” will be living in the home and enjoying the electricity and water that their Child Support helps pay for.

    My Uncle Alan once tried to pull back the curtain for me when I was like 13 by telling me that the Constitution forbids royal titles or something, and yet lawyers are allowed to have “Esquire” in their signatures. Her looked at me knowingly like “Checkmate,” whoever. I just didn’t say anything because all I could think was “Okay, so…?”
