It's actually very coherent, and one of the frankest expressions of conservatism you'll ever see; "Laws for thee, not for me".

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 22 points 3 months ago

Seriously. This car screams conservative.

Performative worship of police is part of the conservative identity so they have to announce it to everyone. And the sovcit motive is usually "I want the benefits of society without paying for them." Typical conservative selfishness.

Excatomundo.

[-] bisby@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago

Having a "don't pull me over, im on your side 😉" sticker makes perfect sense if you're an idiot who is doing things worth being pulled over for.

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

There is real logic there. While not a sovtard and I drive safely, I found that having such a sticker on the back window usually turns a ticket into a verbal warning, if youre a couple mph over the speed limit. Even if you dont like the police it’s beneficial to have a such a sticker. In my case it was a simple small benefit dinner sticker for a officer in need.

emotional bribery

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

Think a "thin red line" flag would be good enough? My brother works at the fire department, so I can pretend its just for him.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

benefit dinner sticker for a officer in need.

Massive difference from the "thin blue line" sticker there. The blue sticker people paid for the sticker. Your money went to help someone you both respect.

[-] KestrelAlex@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago

I'm amused there's a GMC model called the "Terrain", not all terrain or off road or anything, just "this vehicle drives on surfaces"

[-] plantedworld@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I have one, is been pretty good so far. Basic car, no frills, no major issues.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

So it delivers what it promises? It drives on terrain?

[-] plantedworld@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I can confirm it has driven on terrain

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

For GMC, that's worth calling out as a feature.

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

They break down enough that "Terrain" is an accurate description of their unmoving forms.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Wait till you find out about the competing model, Ford RoadsAndMaybeMildDirt

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The ultimate On-Roading^TM^ experience.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I have a very strong memory of a bodycam video where the sovtard keeps screaming "BUT I'M ON YOUR SIDE" as he's getting pulled through his busted car window.

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

That would cheer me up to see that. Got a link?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't think it was a standalone video, it was probably either in a compilation or Donut Operator's sovereign citizen bingo. But if finding it means watching hours of sovtards getting reamed by the dildo of consequences, I won't say no.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 28 points 3 months ago

We're just going to ignore the "One Nation Under God" bit too?

[-] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

This person probably never gets pulled over. Cops don't want to deal with some dingus ranting legalese word salad and anyone with fascist stickers gets a pass.

Kind of genius if the person is actually aware

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I dunno. I'm not enough of a gambler to run those odds. I feel like this would filter out all but the most aggressive cops. So when this backfires, it's a real bad time.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I share your feeling. If you get pulled over by someone who wants an excuse to hurt someone I can't think of a better way to make it happen... aside from maybe being black.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

I am in agreement with his pro-taco stance, however.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

10/10 save the tacos.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

But wouldn't his pro taco stance conflict with his anti Mexican stance?

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

In conservative terms, there's no conflict. Minorities and "foreigners" are there for the appropriation and exploitation of their culture, cuisine, and resources. So "hate the people, love their food (because it's ours now)" is 100% compatible and encouraged with this f-ed up ideology.

Nah he only eats the “Tex” part of the meal.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 18 points 3 months ago

Reminds me of a guy that used to live in a neighborhood near where I was living at the time, that had both American and Confederate flags attached next to eachother on back of their pickup truck.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I saw one of those. The flags were bumper stickers. They were underscored by another sticker that read, "One nation, under God."

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

And of course he's a Qultist too.

[-] Glifted@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago
[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

That looks pretty close to an actual Kansas plate.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Yeah. If real, weird to get a personalized plate despite being a sovcit and thinking you're outside the government's reach. If fake, I feel like this could get dangerously close to forgery. Even for a state issued item that might get into federal charges.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

If you’re sovcit why acknowledge the state of Kansas? Unless this is forgery in an attempt to avoid traffic stops.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'd be the one to try stupid shit for a personalized plate to see what gets through, so the plate could be a joke. My state requires an explanation for these and I can totally see "I'm an army private" as the explanation here...

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago

I'm sure they only drive on privately owned roads they've negotiated with the owner to be allowed on, right?

Because believe it or not if you own a vehicle and only ever drive that vehicle on private property in most states you can do that without following any government rules.

Like, you'd have to transport that vehicle to the property with another vehicle that is properly following the state's rules.

And of course you'd have to bring your fuel in from outside. And any spare parts...

(I'm sure some states have restrictions even on private property only operation)

[-] a9cx34udP4ZZ0@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

They're not the typical sov cit. I'm guessing this person is just trying to get away with not paying for tabs. That license plate is a knock-off of a legit Kansas license plate, not the typical sov cit nonsense plate advertising their insanity.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Years ago I had a thin blue line flag on the back of my car. I didn't really care about the police, I just figured I'd be less likely to get pulled over.

Boy was I right, I drove like an asshole, sped everywhere and never got pulled over.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

What tells us that it's a sovcit thing? I see run of the mill nationalism here.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Sovcits have license plates that say private as one of their crazy beliefs.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 3 months ago

No registration stickers? I think most states use those to show you paid the yearly fee to maintain the roads...

[-] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Minor nitpick, but registration fees don't pay for road maintenance, it's nowhere near enough. Road maintenance comes out of general funds, everybody pays whether you have a car or not, and regardless of how much or how little you drive. Cars are the most heavily subsidized from of transportation there is.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah this actually just looks like a real custom plate.

Sov cits use the word "private" a lot though

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Must be real proud of serving in the military and doing basically nothing or something

[-] Asclepiaz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Kansas requires registration tags on the back plate. I would guess he bought it on Etsy
