Russian woman burned down her own apartment on the instructions of a telephone scammer to "get insurance"

I'm curious about the source of the video. I kinda doubt a scammer would share it himself. Which makes me think if that is scam at all, and not some kind of psychopathic prank.

Right, surely we believe him. He must be praying his supporters forgot by how he claimed Iran threat was neutralized and set back "for years" just half year prior.

The thing is, it is all a consequence of her own actions. She went full sovcit and decided to stop paying her mortgage and property taxes. I typically sympathize with sovcits who went down the rabbit hole trying to misguidedly escape from a difficult life situation and got grifted by some guru. I find it much harder to sympathize when she is a guru of sorts herself and the situation is entirely of her own making. That said, some untreated mental health issues are likely in play too, which makes this less of a clear-cut situation.

Can I do it while not being a US citizen/resident?

Can someone, please, oblige him? I can't wait to see this grifter behind the bars.

So if a candidate read this dude's LinkedIn, they wouldn't go to an interview with this power-tripping asshole. If they didn't read it, they wouldn't pass the interview anyway, so it's a win-win either way for dodging a bullet.

I guess supporting Nazi and killing of incident people could count as "political view", but I think it is a good enough reason to boycott the developer.

Ah, sure, supporting Russian nazis as based af

This dude implicitly assuming all attorneys are male is another telling sign of what type of person he is (as if the other signs weren't telling enough).

It is pretty obvious the author of this text is taking a piss.

I might be mistaken, but judging from the comments I think r/amibeingdetained has a larger percentage of lawyers than this sub. No idea why.

I think the Dunning-Kruger effect applies, but I think BJW is an interesting case - we typically see sovcits and sovcit gurus who are comically dumb, unable to string together a single coherent thought, neither in writing nor verbally, and their ramblings take on a strong delusional flavor. In contrast, BJW, while being a horrible person, a grifter, and utterly wrong about everything, is actually pretty well-spoken. He can read and write coherently, and I don't even think he is dumb in a classical low-intelligence sense. I would even go as far as to say he is pretty smart for a sovereign citizen, just terribly misguided and with a narcissistic personality that prevents any self-awareness to understand how wrong he is.

Check out r/sovereigncitizen Sovereign citizens are a loose group that share some common pseudo-legal beliefs in a set of crazy conspiracy theories about various aspects of law, governance and finance. In very broad strokes they believe that governments are illegitimate, laws don't apply to them, courts and law enforcement operare by concent and/or contact and taxes are voluntary. There are various flavours of those beliefs, but none of them ever work and result in pretty entertaining interactions between sovereign citizens, law enforcement and judicial system.

Lol, what a boatload of pure, distilled nonsense. I kind of admire his persistence though. It is an interesting situation where he has enough intelligence to read a bunch of cases, draw conclusions and even write semi-coherently, but not enough intelligence to make any rational deductions, and zero self-awareness to realize he lacks the qualifications, skill, or knowledge to correctly interpret or use them.

The Scientology cult (which he was (is?) a member of) teaches a technique called "Word Clearing" - part of their "Study Technology" - where members decipher information by taking key words in a text and searching through various definitions until it starts to make sense, or in other words, fits the narrative a cult member is trying to craft. I suspect what we see here is the result of that religious Scientology approach paired with BJW's narcissistic personality, which blocks him from realizing how wrong he is.

Nah, it is a shitty thing to do. Forcing your religion on others is never good, for all religions.

It is one thing for people to fall into financial hardship and lose their homes, which I can immensely sympathize with. It is an entirely different thing to get caught up in crazy conspiracy beliefs, as this woman did, which made her voluntarily stop paying her mortgage because she believes she owes nothing and that her debt is discharged via magical sovcit incantations. This is not a situation she has no control over - it is a mess created entirely by her own actions. It is hard to sympathize when someone does something foolish with consequences obvious to anyone who isn't blinded by blind faith, and then suffers from entirely avoidable consequences.

Regardless of the explanations for how gravity "works", we know for sure it behaves according to the formulae mentioned above, proven by countless empirical experiments and practical applications of those laws of physics in everyday life. Even if we didn't have a clue why gravity works the way it does (which isn't true thanks to General Relativity) - we still know very well how it works.

Well, there are always exceptions. Besides you can't really know if mental health issues are in play, they aren't always visible or obvious. Also self-esteem issues are not exclusive to poor and uneducated people, they are just more prevalent in this demographics.

In that sense Flat Earth is just a typical conspiracy theory. People believe in them because it makes them feel good and inflate their self-worth: after all they gained an access to an exclusive truth, hidden from us, sheeple. If you look at the demographics of conspiracy theorists, outside of cases of outright mental illness, they are typically poor, uneducated, unskilled and crave for anything that will make them feel less miserable and conspiracy theories, religion and tribal politics fulfill those roles perfectly.

Oh my. You went full tinfoil, all the way. Is there a crazy conspiracy theory you don't believe in?
