    OP, have you ever seen a post saying “none of this works, you lied to me”?

    It amazes me this lot never seem to come to the realisation none of this works.

      IMO if/when people snap out of it they just fade away and don’t post about it. We all have our pride. These people were convinced they were so much smarter than everyone else, that’s a tough pill to swallow. The same thing happens with cults and political beliefs. That’s why I try to keep things light hearted and civil when debating politics. Leave wiggle room for people to come around. It’s not about humiliating them, it’s about seeing the light

      I was actually sitting here wondering the same thing. There’s plenty of evidence that none of this works yet they keep truckin’ along.

        I think many eventually do realize they’ve been burned and just stop showing up in these forums/groups. But you don’t hear from them, just the diehards who are too deep into it and too dim to ever pick up on the fact that the SovCit movement is baseless nonsense no matter how often they’re confronted with evidence of these little magical loopholes failing to work.
