Those are just the most visible people due to their wealth and influence. For every rich sovcit there are probably a thousand in abject poverty. They live in rural areas, usually in mobile homes, and fly Gadsden flags. I've known several. Try working for an ISP as an installer or repairman and some might even take a few shots at you.

Aside from the Bundys, which are not there, those are all the biggest SovCit criminals cases, so it's weird that you are just dismissing them like that.

And I wouldn't say a dentist or a military IT guy had wealth or influence.

The majority of sovcits aren't getting into shootouts with police, those are extreme examples. Most of them are just people trying to get out of paying debt.

Someone recently said something to me about needing to show hard data. Trying to remember who that was...

If only I could remember who that was...

Sovcits are almost certainly under studied, but if I took enough time I'm sure I could find some research showing that less educated people are more likely to fall for scams.

Be right back...
