The use of “over stand” in place of “understand” suggests that they may be some kind of Rastafarian sovcit. Are those a phenomenon?

Black sovcits tend to call themselves Moorish Delegates.
Do they inherit specifically Rastafarian linguistic taboos, like swapping positive and negative word fragments where appropriate (so “understand” becomes “overstand” and “oppression” becomes “downpression”)?
No idea, I tune them out when they start talking, as I do for the white sovcits.
Yes! They also say "eye" in place of "I".
God bless the Unitided States! 😂
Isn’t the US currency issued by the US government? So they demand money issued by a government that they refuse to accept? So many brain confusion. Or do I not understand their position?
Or do I not understand their position?
You have as firm an understanding as they do 😄
🤣
"sovcit" sounds like a term from judge Dredd comics, city in east block or something
I gotta know. Where the fuck did this SovCit bullshit start/come from? I'm in my 40's now, and i can say until the last 2-3 years, I hadn't heard of these mouthbreathers
It actually dates back to the 1970s, it has roots in white supremacy! The Christian Identity movement pastor William Potter Gale was the creator of the Posse Comitatus, which was a far right anti-government movement who of course believed taxes were a creation of the Jews to exert world dominance. It expanded in the 1980s with the farm crisis and began popping up in various anti-government groups, an Oklahoma City bombing perpetrator claimed to be a sovcit. Throughout the 1990s it began to attract black people from the Moorish Science Temple (which is also trippy to read about), and many of its adherents today are black. Thanks to the internet it has spread into many other countries, and thanks to movements like Qanon it has grown more.
Here's a contract without your signature! That's how contracts work right?
It works for EULAS.
Good comparison; there is a difference in that EULAs give you a consent button that you have to click; the idea is that, by clicking "I accept these terms," you accept the terms.
I believe EULAs have still not been tried in court, but there is a difference between "I sent you something and so now we have a contract" and "I presented the terms and you voluntarily clicked the 'I accept' button and so now we have a contract." The law does recognize "gentleman's handshake" contracts (they've just been hard to prove), and EULAs would fall under that category of contract.
EULAs are untested, but what SovCit is trying is a gentleman's handshake where the handshake is some arbitrary behavior that SovCit has defined as being the agreement terms. That's where this would fall apart; in a verbal agreement, both parties agree not only to the contract, but to what constitutes agreement. One side can't simply make a binding declaration and define what constitutes acceptance. It's like saying, "You owe me $100,000. By breathing, you signify that you accept these terms." In a court, you could reasonably argue that the fact that you agreed, spat in your, and shook on it is by convention a clear sign of acceptance and binding. It'd be impossible to successively argue that I sent you a contract stating that if you crossed the street it constituted acceptance. SovCit is trying the latter.
I hope the tow driver pays pays him with a quarter taped to a note. That's how it works, right?
"I hereby declare by my power as a sovereign entity that this quarter is worth a gajillion US dollars.
You may keep the change."
surely the tow driver would just send a 1099A with name all in capitals and the debt would be cleared?
"This quarter is worth $1 million Sovcit Dollars. I expect change."
I don't see where they identify the vehicle. So any vehicle that is towed falls under this "contract"? So weird
I do believe that's what he means.
This person has read something about unrebutted affidavits and entirely misunderstood what it means (or intentionally interpreted wrong)
They get fed this BS in social media. Since they want to believe it, it must be true. Sadly there is about a third of the Country that is really brain damaged by the lead.
So $500k for taking it,
$10k per "item"?,
$100k per day,
$200k per day if it is not returned.
Got it, I think.
It's rather hard to understand.
You mean overstand
The fuck is the 14th amendment doing in this‽
For non Americans it’s the no slavery except as punishment for crimes amendment
"Over stand." No notes. You got this, pal. Way to go, idiot. Whew.
It seems to be a favorite phrase of theirs. I assume it has some mystic power in their minds like pretty much everything that they spout. But I probably haven't taken enough hallucinogens to be able to understand their logic.
You mean overstand their logic.
Well you see I'm just a smooth skin so I only "understand" things.
Pencil? He upgraded from crayons because he's a big boy now
I'm sure the White House paid it extra special attention.
So what exactly did they do this for?
I think this is the reason. He doesn't make a lot of sense.
"I don't have a home, but I'm not homeless!"
Seems like a typical SovCit.
Sorry but he's right on this one. A home isn't just like a house. A mobile home is still a home. If the structure keeps you safe from the elements, contains some of your possessions, and is the place where you sleep usually, then that's absolutely a home
RVs aren't meant to be year-round dwellings. Especially not the kind you call a camper attached to a truck.
Yeah well you aren't meant to be working 60 hours a week to not be able to afford a 1bdr apartment but here we are.
I have a home so you can't arrest me!
I dont have an address so you can't send me child support letters!
The sweet spot.
