Does this ever work? I just wonder what fuels this collective insanity. If it's never worked before, is the goal to keep trying until it does and then constitutes legal precedent?
Millions of people are saddled with bills they can't pay and an uncaring and complicated bureaucracy they struggle to navigate because of poor education, then they find a community of people claiming to have the solution to all of their problems. It doesn't have to work, they just have to believe it does and they will rationalize away any sign that it doesn't. The sovcit community gives them a feeling of autonomy and control they will not easily part with.
They're very seldom a poverty problem. I never post the ones who are just trying to desperately find a solution. The ones I post are all hardcore anti government lunatics who want to get everything for free.
