    I’d love to know what kind of legislation this living brain donor is misunderstanding to have come up with the idea of using a fucking quarter to settle a (likely significantly greater) debt.

      There is no legislation that they’re misunderstanding. They believe that the United States went bankrupt and was sold to pay is debts. And ever since then, the United States has fraudulently entered it’s citizens into contracts with this private entity. Evidence for this includes your name being IN ALL CAPITALS on any official document, thereby indicating that the contract implied by that document is not referring to your “person” but to your “straw man”, a trust set up by the United States for each of it’s citizens so that it can collect their taxes to continue to pay it’s debts.

      And this is only the surface level weirdness. Watch Münecat’s video essay about them. It’s fascinating

        Don’t they believe they’re paying with their own like $3M account or something?

        Like, the government put aside $1,004,744,685,000,000 ($3M per US citizen, 1.04 quadrillion dollars) and they’re using their “allotted” $3M to pay their debts?

          Yes, they think they own like .000,000,000,350/100ths of the GDP or of like all the good ij the federal reserve or something. Like they take the value of the country in a liquidation auction, and they get their share.

        I gotta say, since reading your comment last night and I went to watch that sovcit Münecat video, I’ve spent my day cleaning my house watching a bunch of her videos (well, like two more. They’re long.) She’s fuckin hilarious. And very informative. But she got quite a few laughs out of me all day. Thanks for the rec. I gotta go back and watch her back catalogue now. Lovin’ a good video essay rabbit hole

      the 0.9 Troy ounces of silver contained therein prevents the bank’s undead minions from arguing with anything the piece of paper says

        Undead? I don’t think silver has any effect on the undead, it only works against werewolves (or werecreatures if you want to be progressive) and similar mutant creatures in most fantasy settings - unless we assume the world to operate under the rules of The Witcher books, in which silver harms all magical creatures.

          Silver has been considered effective against all kinds of supernatural threats by different cultures in different ways. I would imagine the Witcher’s lore was influenced by one of these traditions. As the link indicates, it’s a pretty common trope.

      Not sure about the coin but he’s saying his personhood account which they claim is automated on birth is paying the debt.

        I’ve just finished an hour-long wikipedia crawl and found this. It is spectacularly stupid. Whenever I think sovtard intellect has reached rock bottom, they just take out a fucking powerdrill and dig on deeper.
