As is true of so many things, the sovereign citizens movement was a well intentioned disaster that ran afoul of the very thing it was supposed to mitigate. The sovereign citizens movement made a fundamental technical error; in attempting to prove the law did not have jurisdiction over a free citizen, it attempted to use the law. Time and time again what the sovereign citizen movement discovered was that their arguments lacked evidentiary weight and they, by denying the validity of the law, lacked standing. In short, sovereign citizens, during their strongest attacks on the system, epitomized their strategic failure. We cannot argue the state out of existence. No matter how logical or well rehearsed our arguments, it makes no sense to bring our best debate to a gun fight. So long as the state has the guns it has an enforceable law. The sovereign citizens movement attacked the state at its strongest point, the law. We need to attack it where it is at its weakest. The weak point of the state is that it is parasitic. Parasites need the host; the host does not need the parasite.
