      It’s always weird reading this as an anarchist because I fundamentally disagree with the insanity of claiming that some other set of laws applies, but I empathize with the argument that cops shouldn’t be able to arrest someone for not showing ID, or videotaping them, or really most things; and I frankly think that the existence of the state is predicated on force and the idea that the state has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force which is what is used to uphold property ownership.

      The actual Moorish Science Temple is not approving of their sovcit offshoot, I should also point out. They’re not exactly sane either but definitely not the same level of madness.

          Happens a lot with religious groups, actually.

          Evangelicals: “Those snake handlers are crazy. Time to speak in tongues.”

          Orthodox Jews: “Those Hardi guys? They’re the nuts that don’t allow their members to use the internet. By the way, we have separate fridges for milk and meat.”

          The idea of Moorish Science Temple is sort of weird, like black people claiming to be indigenous to North America is just obviously not true. I don’t think they harm people beyond nay sort of religious nonsense.

    Notice to agent is notice to prinicipal

    Too bad, a spelling mistake in the super-secret incantation makes it null and void.

    I’m not sure if the part about judges being witches and wizards casting incantations was metaphorical or if this person actually meant it literally.

        To be fair, having watched a lot of Legal Eagle on Youtube. I’m not convinced they aren’t witches and wizards performing some archaic ritual.

          That comparison gets even more real in the UK…where they all still wear white powdered wigs and robes…add in speaking in Latin legal terms, and it’s definitely some sort of ritual lmao

      I’ve said this a few times, but these people absolutely 100% believe language is magic and laws are spells.

    I’d love to read the police reports and see the other side. In cases like these, listening to both sides will get you further from the truth.
