The qr code is just a text string. It says “1,000,000”. Fucking amazing.
He’s got 999,999 problems, but leaving the country ain’t one.
Leaving is fine. Returning? Hah.
I mean, that shit won’t get him into any country. So leaving may not be the problem but you gotta arrive somewhere. Unless his plane just circles over the Atlantic Ocean until it runs out of fuel and plummets into the water.
Although, leaving might also be a problem. You gotta show ID to get on any plane. The first time it comes out, he’s probably getting detained at O’hare.
“Diplomatic Operations Specialist”
🤡
Also the fact that “title” is the only one not capitalized is amusing to me
It feels like they would be fucked if these worked. The US is not good to non-citizens.
Oh it’s much worse than that.
Imagine if this worked, and people could just exempt themselves from the law by carrying a card that says “diplomatic immunity” on it. Everyone would do it, you’d be crazy not to, even if you weren’t planning on committing crimes, just to prevent the possibility of a (potentially unjust) arrest or conviction.
And once everyone is above the law, you basically have The Purge, which devolves to more of an Escape From New York kind of vibe, before finally landing in Mad Max territory.
Or, alternatively, we recognize that the card works just as well for the authorities, who can’t be charged with anything for ignoring your diplomatic immunity.
ironically, the state of Texas is trying this "no, laws don’t mean anything’ tactic with the supreme court right now.
“Diplomatic immunity!”
“You heard 'em. Cut off their access to public services while we arrange transport to their homeland of… Oh! Heaven! Hey! Have Phil get the cannon ready!”
I like how he wanted people to know his birthday, just not how old he is
I’ll bet that looks real good in his wallet tucked next to the “get out of jail free” card
The least believable part of this card is it being valid for 20 years!
That eagle hologram on the top looks suspiciously German. Going through the versions the most like likely (wing shape, size of tail, various details) seems to be the kleines Bundessiegel, small federal seal, this one.
So tough luck, this is actually a personell identification card of the limited liability company making up the German federal level.
OP is here for you!
Those are two different people. One is a man and the other is a woman, for one.
Only question is how much he owe in child support
Huh, I wonder what a “beneficery” is
Is that the Bundesadler top middle?! wtf xD
My favorite part is trying to pass off this super official looking /s card with this lame ass cell-phone photo in a zipper jacket lmao
Arstotzka so great, passport not required
hamilton bro is irl jorji
Bey stands for "been evicted yet?'.
I should start a business selling these
I’d check with a lawyer before opening shop. I suspect there’s no law against this, but it may fall under a genetic defrauding the mentally impared.
You know it’s just a matter of time before someone sells you out to get a plea deal.
You don’t think there is a law about fake IDs?
There is no actual ID this is trying to imitate. That would be like saying corporate ID badges are illegal.
These people can’t be this braindead. It doesn’t take a genius to understand that countries have to also recognize their political status to make it real in any way other in than their minds.
Nation states are a figment of our imaginations. There is no American particle or German substance. Sovereign citizen are just a low budget version of that particular game of make believe.
Sure but the point is that for the American one to exist outside of its own little game, the German figment has to agree that it exists too.
Is this just an America thing?
Only found out about it recently and it just seems bonkers, like in what state of mind do you have to be to think you can just wish away the laws of the country.
It’s also a thing in other countries. In the Netherlands there recently was a news article about someone who got financially ruined because she and her husband stopped paying taxes and rent because they claimed to be sovereign.
Probably imported the idea from the US, where it’s much more visible.
These morons have their own international online echo chambers where they convince each other this shit really works. At least until they find out it doesn’t and that is when they direct their anger towards the state for somehow setting them up.
It’s the same pattern we see in cults, conspiracies, religion and Apple fans. If there is a way not to be confronted with the truth, different beliefs or just simple opposition, their ideal version of reality will take hold and solidify.
It’s a dangerous pattern that will only lead to more social unrest if we’re not careful about it.
