Thank you for explaining this. I've been aware of sovcits for quite a while now, but I never understood the foundation of their beliefs until your explanation.

Its kind of like QAnon in that there are many different specific conspiracy theory elements that can get plugged in together, or rejected... but yeah, this is basically the core that underlies most SovCit stuff in the US.

There are some smaller subsets that... do fall into the SovCit category, but don't rely on this kind of 'backbone', and have a different 'backbone' that a bunch of other similar SovCit style ideas get plugged into...

... and the non US SovCits may be a directly related evolution of this kind of 'backbone' idea that relies on it, or it may be some similar kind of logic that invents a new 'backbone' for a different country that does not rely on this 'backbone' US centric theory...

... And then also, a whole lot of SovCits ... somewhat ironically, don't actually go deep enough down the rabbit hole to understand this 'backbone' theory, and just believe in the surface level 'magic legal tricks', and don't really understand why they 'should' even work.

munecat has a pretty good, 2 ish hour long video that can give you a decent grasp of how this nonsense works.
