Seen on MR: the Conspira-Sea Cruise, through the eyes of a skeptical journalist. (It's exactly what it sounds like: a 7-day cruise for believers in conspiracy theories.)

Yeah, Pseudo-law is a real thing, not just Arrested Development shenanigans. More folks should be alert for that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redemption_movement is one of my favorites. I'm a little surprised that they don't name it - I guess they haven't run into it enough before to know it's a specific movement and that stuff like the flag & 'admiralty courts' and 'chattel' are not unique to those particular speakers.
