Rejecting Corporate Identity

Every government, including the US government, is terrified that its population will wake up and realize that it's run by grifters for their own purposes. The notion that some dumb fuck weirdo actor like Joe Biden can make any positive contribution to the quality of life  of some random person in the US is absurd. The governments go to great lengths to advertise their legitimacy and keep people invested in their corporate identity and viciously go after people who threaten the corporate scam.

A notable contemporary case of a man rejecting the legitimacy of the US government is provided by Robert Beale. A Revolutionary War case is provided by Samuel Mason. The Whiskey Rebellion was another example from that early era of the US.

Beale--the father of Theodore Beale (aka Vox Day, aka Teddy Spaghetti) was a tax protester in the early 90s. He and Irwin Schiff basically rejected the sovereignty and authority of the feds, mainly because the US had been coopted by the Empire of Butt Fuckers by that time. They stopped paying their taxes and ended up in court, and then finally in jail because of it. Schiff died in jail and Beale served a very long sentence. Beale made a literal mockery of the court--he served a subpoena to a judge from a court he and his buddies had convened. The alt media has its roots in that movement.

Sam Mason and the Whiskey Rebellion are really similar cases. The people who were on the frontier or who had actually participated in the revolutionary war had little reason to accept the authority and legitimacy of the federales. Mason turned into an actual river pirate/murderer and was hunted down and killed.
