So, I can understand wanting to live alone in the middle of nowhere and not being bothered by anyone else. I got no problem with off-the-grid mountain men, but signing up for multiple credit cards, and spending that money with NO intention of paying any of it back, is just straight up theft.
How can these goons expect to take whatever they want without contributing anything at all?
The only reason I'm hesitant to call it theft is because those giant credit companies make money off of their loan shark cards
Edit: Oh boy, I made a hot take! Theft assumes that a person had a right to something to begin with. Shoplifting from Walmart is morally acceptable, it's cool to make credit cards with an alias and not pay it back, and all cops are bastards. Just don't expect to get away without consequences.
How is one action related to the other? This isn’t some Robin Hood type of person stealing from the big bad corporation to feed other people. It’s just a fraudster who somehow thinks they are entitled to this money.
Oh, I'm well aware of that lol I've just never heard one say outright that they're entitled to free credit cards they can use but not pay for. I read some of the other posts OP made about it and apparently this person thinks they're entitled to free power from the power company too lol
That's their term for money. They believe money stopped being money and turned into coupons when we dropped the gold standard. Due to this, they believe they can just send out an IOU and have it treated like valid currency.
Not only that, but if they don't get their way, they think maybe using the court system of the government they don't think applies to them is an option. Seems either you would be sovereign and outside the jurisdiction and therefore the courts can't help you, or the courts can help you and all the sovereign nonsense is wrong. So they try to have it the best of both ways, all the privilege, none of the accountability.
I will grant one thing: the whole "the card agreement says that using the card counts as accepting the agreement" is circular logic like "the Bible is true because it says it's true". There should be an obligation to get that agreement before any card is issued. Using a card shouldn't cancel out any requirement of informed consent. These people clearly don't have a good understanding about how any of this works, even if they are trying to abuse these things in the way they understand them.
Like there were aspects of my credit cards, that I was using in good faith, that I didn't really understand until years after I'd been using them.
I'm not sure if it's different in the states, but in the UK it's definitely like that.
You sign the agreement, the card is dispatched.
The card arrives with more literature, and it is made very clear that by using the card you accept the terms.
If you decide that you don't like the terms, you can return it un-used, or even I believe within 14 days you can cancel everything and just pay off any money you've spent with it.
It is not circular logic. It's closer to "you've agreed to the terms of the Bible because you used the Bible for your benefit." Still not quite the same as the credit card agreement, but closer. Clearly not circular.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this sovcit is so bad at MS Paint they doxxed themselves with their original post. I'd say you won't believe their political affiliation, but you would.
OP, it might be an idea to remove this. I'm sure there's an argument to be made for letting them bring down hell upon their own heads by being idiots, but nobody actually deserves the internet knowing who they are and where they live. Or at least, this person certainly doesn't. They've got enough problems, like a mountain of credit card debt.
