    Normally, I can kind of get a feel for what the sovcit is misinterpreting and how they think things work. This one just makes zero sense. I can’t figure out what they are talking about.

      I think they’re saying that what the state considers to be “you” (which is not what it actually considers, but they’re nuts) is a commodity that is traded for profit.

      It’s one of their convoluted conspiracy ideas when the fact is that it isn’t necessary. Your labor is already earning those profits every day you go to work.

        I strongly suspect the original post was attempting to use the word “chattel”, but couldn’t get it right.

        Chattel, as in chattel slavery. Which means the idea being spun appears to be a driver’s license registers one on the books of the Department Of Transportation as a chattel slave, a good to be bought and sold.

        Which begs the question who is trading with the DOT, but I’m sure the answer would be 36 pages of unpunctuated explanation.

        Which is wild, because data brokers are real and really do that. Like… Take all your braincells one step to the left and you’ve got a winner.
