At the core of sovereign citizen beliefs is the denial of the legitimacy of the government. They do not believe they must obey any laws, nor that they can be held to account for lawbreaking.
I mean, this seems like a subgroup of a subgroup. However, I can at least sympathize with their points about no longer wishing to be under the yoke of the United States dictatorship. We’re not there yet, but that’s damn sure where we’re headed.
Edit: Personally, I am doing my part by no longer seeing their money as valuable and trading that shit for something real as soon as I get a hold of it and only keeping enough of it around to pay for something I need from some fool in an emergency.
A combination of things, some real estate, some gold, some cryptocurrency. The dollar is losing value every second of every day by at least a little bit. And I don’t see a reason to hold wealth in a depreciating asset. It’s just a form of tax that all normal people have to pay while people who have assets don’t have to. Which is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Stop the inflation and you stop the impoverishment.
Well obviously you don’t just sit on cash. That’s the whole idea of present value. Inflation, to a small extent, is good. It also happens to literally every currency.
But inflation doesn’t have to be a thing. Currentsies don’t have to inflate. Back in Rome, you could buy a tailored suit and a pair of shoes for a ounce of gold. Today, you can go by a tuxedo and a pair of shoes for an ounce of gold. So in terms of gold, the price of items has not changed significantly in a very, very long time.
That’s okay. Things will be purchased as they are needed. It’s not like because we used gold. I wouldn’t need toilet paper or a new laptop or a new phone. I would still need to purchase those things at some point. It would improve lending practices as well because people wouldn’t be lending trying to outpace inflation with a return. They would lend less, for sure, but people would also save money more so they would need fewer loans.
Just don’t repeat the 2016 election fiasco and you have a chance to fix the other stuff. Otherwise, the border wall is almost done so come north while you can. It’s mainly a trench filled with angrier geese, but we were stuck with them after they ate the alligators.

Trading it for what, gold? The dollar isn’t going anywhere

Inflation does need to be a thing for a healthy economy. If we only used gold, things would stagnate.
