Tax exempt lol. Don’t drive on tax fund built roads then.
That’s one thing that the “taxes are theft” folks don’t get.
Don’t send your kids to school
Don’t drive on roads
Don’t receive mail
A thousand other things.
My two favourite articles on libertarian experiments gone horribly wrong:
The Rise and Fall of the “Freest Little City in Texas”: How a Libertarian Experiment in City Government Fell Apart Over Taxes, Debt, and Some Very Angry People
and
The Town That Went Feral: based upon A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz
Some choice quotes:
“This is one of the worst things I’ve ever done,” she said of being mayor. “I’ve never dealt with such angry people. I’m washing my hands of everything. … I’m going to travel. I’m going as far away from Von Ormy as I can.”
Nearly everyone in town has an opinion on who’s to blame. But it’s probably safe to say that the vision of the city’s founder, a libertarian lawyer whose family traces its roots in Von Ormy back six generations, has curdled into something that is part comedy, part tragedy.
…
When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.
One woman, who prudently chose to remain anonymous save for the sobriquet “Doughnut Lady,” revealed to Hongoltz-Hetling that she had taken to welcoming bears on her property for regular feasts of grain topped with sugared doughnuts. If those same bears showed up on someone else’s lawn expecting similar treatment, that wasn’t her problem. The bears, for their part, were left to navigate the mixed messages sent by humans who alternately threw firecrackers and pastries at them. Such are the paradoxes of Freedom.
Both articles are well worth the read.
The great thing about that is from those quotes all I really know is that I can’t even imagine the type of crazy things went. Going to have to read those, thank you!
After reading those and other articles, it’s difficult for me to maintain a straight face when people IRL tell me they’re libertarians. The more I’ve looked into it, the more I can’t help but snicker at its mention.
I’ve put Libertarianism on my mental shelf along with Scientology and Moonies. It’s just batshit insane and naive as fuck.
What are Moonies? Moon landing conspiracy guys?
Members of the Unification Church
Maybe the local racetrack will let them drive there.
Oops, they wrote “PRiVATE”, that lower case i voids the entire spell/contract/declaration/whatever.
I also note it isn’t written in red ink at a 45 degree angle. I will have to reject this offer to contract (without dishonour).
Technically I believe it’s called an “Sovereign Citizen Incantation”. You can purchase books of them online for a few hundred dollars.
It’s perfectly fine to have a private vehicle with no license or registration. Drive it all you like on your own private personal property.
Get the fuck off our public roads though.
This is the case in most places in the US, but check your local and state laws first if you’re a car collector. Some areas require them to be in an enclosed structure (e.g. garage), or not visible from the street, or not on a paved surface directly connected to a public street, etc.
Well, that’s a stupid law. I would side with the sovcits in that case then lol
I wish I were this unafraid to look like an idiot.
I think you pull it off pretty well.
Well in my defense, I’m pretty stupid.
Aww, you guys are wholesome AF
The runes, while poorly drawn, should ward off evil.
Did a quick ddg lookup of the word “Scion” (noun):
A descendant or heir, especially of a wealthy or prominent family.
A detached shoot or bud from a plant that is joined to a rootstock in grafting.
A shoot or sprout of a plant; a sucker.
Okay. Clearly the last one.
Lol
One of the license plate mounts makes it look like it says “Prooperty” when you zoom in and that made me giggle.

All I see is “Police, please pull me over. I obviously don’t have a license or registration, so this will be an easy conviction for your records.” If you’re going to flaunt the law, at least make an effort to do it low-key…
Yeah but without resorting to dragging someone out of their car physically who isnt being violent and getting sued or having to answer excessive force complaints means you are going to be there for a LONG time.
I can absolutely see a cop that isnt a powertripping piece of shit not want their whole day to be dealing with one fruitcake.
Why not save time and write PULL ME OVER
How often does a cop look at those and decide not to pull them over because of the trouble?
I wonder it they are single and hot
Can the driver be arrested for trespassing?
WITHOUT PREJUDICE!!! SMH
I love how they both want to except from all government relations, except boy that constitution is like their gospel. You can’t disassociate from the country and site the constitution of said country.
All the rights, none of those responsibilities
Dude’s plan for what he’s going to say when he gets pulled over is probably consistent with the level of planning he did when wrote that top line.
His plan is to say, “I’m not driving, I’m traveling” and then lord over the police officer as they try to apologize for wasting his time.
They think they’ve figured out the magic spells Trump uses to avoid paying his bills, not realizing that Trump’s way of doing it involves lawyers and credible bluffs, including that he has the resources to indefinitely drag out things to make them as expensive as possible for anyone trying to go against him. And it’s not clear when it’s a bluff and when it isn’t because the system is designed for that kind of tactic to be effective, so even Mr. Famously Doesn’t Pay His Lawyers can even do it, though he probably had more luck with it before he got so famous for not paying his lawyers.
The problem for them is, it never works out the way they think it will. Especially because the whole premise is treating police like they have no power in a situation where they do, which tends to make them want to be violent.
