I guarantee in their mind they've created a rationalization devoid of logic

Some SovCits believe that your birth certificate is actually some sort of bond the government takes out on you and is worth insane amounts of money and if they know the magic words they can cash in their bond and get hundreds of billions of dollars that the government is keeping in their name

I just searched it and the first hit is the Treasury Department debunking it and other scams

Yes, but the SovCits know the Real Truth, the government is just lying to you, but you can force them to do what you want when you know the proper magic words.

My favourite thing from SovCits is everytime they start describing a magical world in which they can live truly free one of them brings up that they should create some sort of "central authority" to "enforce their freedoms" but also make sure "everyone contributes their share"
