    The thing that really gets me on the SovCit thing is its like, a simultaneous rejection of any kind of authority around words and definition, and yet also an appeal to authority on some “other” definitions.

    Its like how in medieval Europe before the printing press there was this arcane reverence for the written word, as if it has some magical qualities to it. Like if somehow they just combine the right sequence of legalize on the right size and shape piece of card stock it will “unlock” something.

    A document that serves to recognize a liability and authorize the disbursement of cash.

    Yeah, your liability and the disbursement of your cash to someone else - like the parent of the child you’re not paying for. They can’t even understand the meaning of the sentence they underlined.
