    At what point do ya make a stamp or stickers to speed this process up? You can see he started down that road with the labels over the address, but didn’t see it fully through. Probably because FedEx Kinkos wouldn’t let him get stickers made without an international treaty.

      A sticker wouldn’t count according to sovcit logic. Basically if it’s not pants on head insane chicken scratch then it isn’t binding under their “wet ink” belief. Also something about red ink is special, but I haven’t quite nailed that down yet. It doesn’t help that sovcit lore is harder to trace than time travel in the movie Primer, and has more continuity issues than the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

        I would assume it’s because most government forms require you to fill them out in blue or black in. Being the edgelords they are, they picked a color of ink that would be rejected by most government institutions.

        Nope, crazier than that:

        They use red ink (or sometimes even blood) instead of blue or black ink to signify to the evil shadow government and their puppet judges that it is the true flesh-and-blood person who is signing a particular document and not the corporate shell.

        I’m almost afraid to ask, but I keep seeing this shit… what is so magical about a “wet ink” signature? Ink dries fast, so I presume this means it’s the original signture and not a copy of whatever contract (or treaty?) in question. I’m so confused.

          Really it’s just a misunderstanding of contract law. While it’s getting less common, because of esignatures growing in popularity, wet ink signatures used to be required on some contracts. Which is really someone just physically making a mark on a physical piece of paper. Basically sovcits decided that “wet ink” applied to everything, which I can assure you is not the case.

          Here’s some more actual info about wet ink signatures:
