I thought I was having a stroke midway that wall of nonsense.

I always come away from these with either laughing or confusion. Never anything between.
You need to build up your sovcit propaganda tolerance, after a while you stop seeing individual phrases and most of the content is just chunks of copypasta from wannbe-darknet forums.
Burger King court?
"She shook her head yes"
This line is all you need to see to know that this person is a moron or a lunatic.
You don't shake your head to say yes.
some cultures do, just not ours
Some people use that phrase to mean “nod”. It’s the same action just a different direction.
And their point is that they are wrong to do so.
It’s not great phrasing I agree… but it is a common way to describe it.
It’s the action that matters not the description.
If “she” (not clear who) moved her head back and forth in a vertical rotation, it doesn’t matter if you call it “shook her head yes” or “nodded”. The meaning is the same.
If she moved her head back and forth in a horizontal rotation and this person interpreted that as a “yes”, then that is insanity.
It's just not the accepted and used English for those actions. If it was something like "rotated" then it would be ambiguous and subject to interpretation, but the word "shook" already has a meaning
So it sounds like you’re just not familiar with the phrase. It might not be “accepted and used” in your area, and I agree it’s confusing. But it is common, regardless.
Many examples can be found in your choice of search engine, here’s one result but it’s very very common.
Not only is "common" unfortunately not a quantitative assertion (and I disagree), many incorrect usages are "common."

As earlier stated, obviously some people might use the opposite words for a particular effect.
I mean feel free to count search results if you care to assess exactly how common it is. Regardless, writing this phrase is not “insanity”
I'm pretty sure I only said it was wrong.
Whenever I see that line in books, I have taken it to mean a reluctant yes. As if the person is both shaking their head in exasperation and conceding something to the other person.
It's definitely a sign of being disingenuous. Either outright lying or placating the listener.
They truly believe they can cancel a debt if they just say the “right” words like it’s some sort of an incantation.
Yep, and that it bills the secret trust.
I then said no if they have a problem they have to have a qualified third party state the issue and I then have 30 days to cure. She shook her head yes and did a continuance for 30 days. I when she said that I was like did she really say damn near the exact same thing the judge said to yusef in court!!
Anyone wanna tell him what just happened isn't what he thinks just happened?
The judge put off consequences for 30 days. To some, that would seem like a long time.
It took me a good couple of minutes to figure out what "had my spill in my head" was supposed to mean... I'm guessing they meant "spiel" lol
Although with all the terrible grammar in this post it's entirely possible that they did take a nasty spill and landed on their head before they wrote this
Spiel… more like “absurd machinations”
It also works because of the way their word salads spill out of their heads.
I am so glad most people on lemmy write better than this! 🥰
Who is Yusef?
A sovereign citizen "guru", as they are called, named Yusef El, from the Moorish sovcit part of sovcits. There are about ten different gurus who offer paid programs to learn all this gobbledygook and convince these dunderheads they're really beating the system.
What method of payment do they accept?
Cashapp only baby.
Now, now. Yusef uses Paypal and Stripe. For just $49.99 US/month you too can learn how to ruin your life.
Have any of these guys ever succeeded in anything regarding their woefully misguided notions? I would think loss after loss would eventually discourage this nonsense.
The ones who truly lose end up in jail. Some think they "win" when they are granted more time to ~~shallow~~ shape the fuck up before returning to court (they will lose, they just don't see the writing on the wall yet). Lastly are the grifters selling this information to the mindless rubes.
Sometimes I wonder if that’s what Trump will do if he loses - convince the sovcits they are outside of the government and they can come work for him in his new nation.
That's kind of how new nations happen but he's not going to find land for it anywhere in north America. Maybe a equatorial south nation could be bullied into giving his ilk space but I don't think cheetolini's best people could even crayon in the outside of the logistics for that.
The biggest 'success' I've seen was dropping of a permit issue for a sewage tank, mainly because the county court was just so damn tired of him wasting their time. So, victory?
Not one blessed thing.
Yeah, it seems like this lady succeeded here...in getting a 30 day delay, after which she will still be held liable for the debt she owes.
That's exactly right. The judge in this case seems exceptionally patient with all of the nonsense involved.
Worst. Shakespeare. Ever.
Delirium-inducing.
