The Strawman Illusion

You hear a lot about becoming a sovereign citizen, becoming self-sufficient, basically severing ties to admiralty law, and United States, Inc. However, it's extremely risky. Very few people are successful. Many end up in jail because it's just little ol' you against a very well oiled and often-times viscous machine.

So, while "The Strawman Illusion" is indeed, true, I don't think there is much you can do about it without potentially making your life a living hell. But, it certainly can't hurt to be aware.
