Okay, yeah, it makes much more sense now. Thanks Kate of Gaia.

So this is, what, the British version of Sovereign Citizens except with more of a new age twist than the more culturally specific right wing paranoia of the American version?

So this is the U.K. version of "free men on the land," a.k.a. "Sovereign Citizens." Good luck with that.

My favourite is when they call out and correct someone saying they were driving as "traveling".

Containment has been breached. The samples have crossed the water barrier. Contamination irreversible.

Godspeed, friends. We never wanted this for you. May whatever miserable deities still heed our words have mercy on our blackened, withered souls.

She has a great gift for allusions but I am afraid she is not well. We probably shouldn't be making fun of her.

Yeah, I'm getting word salad from this. Best not to point and laugh.

I probably should not have clicked on any of those links.

Performance art? Who is paying for those signs? By "who" I am referring to the bodily entity and not to the straw man piece of paper entity. "Who" am "I?" Now I, whoever that is, may or may not be confused.

My sympathy for mental illness ends when you start attracting followers and making money off your beliefs.

The map is not the territory!

People used to think this was a very important observation.

So if a legal name is illegal, can I use a sockpuppet?

The definition of mental illness, to an extent, is disordered thinking that you think is perfectly normal. Which is why so many forms can be so treatment-resistant.

It's also possible to have empathy and compassion for someone obviously struggling with mental illness without condoning their actions.

After some googling, I found this video, in which Kate gives a talk to a group of like-minded people. She seems intelligent, in control of her faculties, despite her beliefs being completely irrational and full of magical thinking.

When pair-ents (two minds) or payer-rents choose to REGISTER their children, they are LITERALLY trading off the life source of the being that is SUCKED into that body in this reality for the whore of Baby-loans LEGAL NAME dead child, in essence, ADOPTING Satan’s child in LLEU of heaven’s child. The Laws-R-us effect, raising the dead NAME DEMON and razing the living consciousness you THINK of as YOU and every other human being as well as all sentient life in this reality. In short, YOU offer up your living child as a sacrifice to Satan while your living child commits sign after sign (sin upon sin) and ADOPT the dead LEGAL DEMON literally breathing life into evil with every creation thenceforth.

"Explain" is a mighty hopeful verb.

Yeah. Laughing at this is not okay. This is really, profoundly sad.
