I kinda feel bad for this person. They're either incompetent or delusional to the point that they basically have a disability.

    I don't.

    IRS sending in letters about 21 years of scam back taxes I apparently owe them

    Taxes are supposed to exist as a way to provide upkeep for infrastructure, government services, and social safety nets. Refusing to pay them while also still benefitting from tax-funded infrastructure and services is just being a parasite on society.

    I've got to be honest, I might feel bad for them if SovCits weren't such massive pricks, but being a stupid piece of shit isn't equivalent to insanity to me.

    Your Aunt is a lizard person? Insane. You think that you can increase your personal power and spiritual essence by consuming other living beings (insect-to-human cannibalism pipeline; I'm not joking this has been observed, codified and studied) to absorb their souls? Insane. Think that random family members, strangers and people on the TV are threatening you or compelling you to murder? Insane. Thinking that you don't have to pay taxes, obtain or use a driver's license for driving vehicles, etc. because you're not a legal scholar or even lawyer, and base your whackadoodle dumb-fuck interpretations of antiquated legal statutes sourced from Youtubers & Facebook posts? Not insane - You deserve what's coming to you, not because you're a 'bad person', but because you're too stupid to function in society and too arrogant to listen to anyone contradicting you for your own benefit.

    This is like those people who argue about whether or not supernatural beliefs are insanity. You can be sane and believe all kinds of crazy shit as long as there's a community of people who also believes in that crazy shit.

    Bingo. If I'm not mistaken, it has as much to do with perceived social good as much as the size of the community supporting it. Established religions often have considerable resources at their disposal which they can put to use defending the legal rights of their adherents (or establish, depending on the point in the timeline). Small, siloed conspiracy communities don't have that same centralized organization to coordinate efforts, let alone the financial means to challenge a country's legal system in the larger sense.
