Also Cops: Y nobody love and respect us? Our job so hard!

I am completely fascinated by the particular brand of idiocy the sovereign citizens profess. Theyāre like the nominally adult versions of kids who think hiding under the blanket makes them monster proof. Like if they shout ānu-uh, you canāt touch me, Iāve got a force field!ā loud enough the police and courts and everyone around will just grit their teeth and walk away. āHeās right, Your Honorā¦this flag clearly doesnāt have the right fringe. Guess we have to let him go!ā

Had a housemate in college who collected samurai swords and Neo-Geo games, but somehow could never pay his rent. When pressed for overdue funds, heād turn red, stare into space, clench his fists around a sword, and shout, āGRRRRRR!ā
I soon got the f*ck out of there. True story.

Indeed.
Iām not saying you should decapitate land lords. But I do believe land lords are parasites.

Even the word ālandlordā feels wrong in our current age. āRentierā works quite well without invoking medieval peonage/serfdom terminology.

American style late-stage capitalism really just boils down to feudalism with extra steps.
The state ultimately acts a king, and hands out large amounts of money to corporate fiefdoms who control production and ultimately the fates of their workers due to low wages and high rent.
It seems appropriate to be referencing the medieval state of being for the vast majority of people. We work more and have longer hours and less leisure time than any filthy dirt-farmer peasant in Europe did back then. In some respects they were better off even. They often had the ability to survive independently of the lord or king whoās land they were on, until tax time came.
