I mean, this probably works. I bet most cops see this and think “man I don’t want to interact with him”
I imagine most people in general have that reaction
When you’re trying to make your ticket/arrest quota, a guaranteed metric is hard to resist
Last year for work, I attended a ‘dealing with customer aggression’ workshop run by a police negotiator. The main thing I remember from it is that “prior history” is cop-speak for “dude’s a fuckwit”. :)
Let’s face it, they’ve 100% talked to this man before will talk to him again and would like to minimize those encounters.
This is what unmedicated mental illness looks like.
Here’s one of the local looneys I see around regularly. This dude spent money on it.
Goodness. Imagine spending money on… This.
I wasn’t brave enough to scan the QR code. The owner is a bloke in his eighties by the look of him. Wisdom doesn’t always come with age, apparently.
It just links to their Instagram page
Is this guy trying to suggest that oxygen is bad? In his case I would agree that it’s probably not a habit worth maintaining but generally speaking I tend to find oxygen to be rather agreeable
I have no idea. They’re all nonsense words on there. However, you can have too much oxygen, but I’m guessing that’s not what he’s on about.
At This point he doesn’t even need a license plate anymore. Just tell the cop “you know who it is when you see it”.
“Oh, that guy? Yeah we’ve had some run-ins with him in the past.”
The back of the car is completely obfuscated by the shit graffiti. This thing might not even be legal to drive just for that.
Lol. I knew a guy who refused to tag his car because of some sovcit bullshit reasons. He changed his mind real quick after his wife got a ticket for driving without a valid registration.
I kind of get it. I used to own an mk4 Jetta, and it almost drove me crazy. That car was an unreliable piece of shit.
Bet it was fun to sell a car to this person.
Sir, may I recommend the Volkswagen, this model it has greater surface area.

Message unclear. No really, what an absolute mess.
What makes people do this, in particular? Writing little screeds on every square inch of their car?
I swear I have seen this exact psychosis develop and present in the exact same way dozens of times over my life so far, and it has been convincing to exactly 0 people in that time. I don’t know that for sure, but I mean, look at them. Who, besides other cranks, is that really speaking to?
The psychosis isn’t trying to convince anyone.
That is not necessarily true.
A giant part of the engine that powers the Great Wheel of Conspiracy Theories is the intoxicating allure that anyone who follows along will be ‘in the know’, and once all is revealed, everyone will come crawling back them begging for forgiveness and fawning praise on them for being so ahead of the game and in-the-know.
The desperate attempts at convincing everyone around them are an early sign of Conspiracy Brain, and is what then leads to the further effects of Conspiracy Brain, which is everyone around them getting annoyed, yelling at them or pushing back with an attempt at a serious debate, and then self-isolating and choosing to only associate with a clade of similarly-online weirdos who self-reinforce one another and enable a greater separation from the plot that the rest of us are following along to. The overwhelming majority of these people are not grifters, they are rubes. They are believers, not the cynical, power-obsessed, fascist element that is using them to put a bridle on federal power.
I know I asked the question originally, but I only asked because it has been such a present thing in my (meatspace) life. I’ve seen friends and family disappear down the same hole, all the same way, and all the same end up here, at ‘crazy asshole filling every square inch of his 1989 dodge hooptie with magic marker writing’ all the same. I don’t get why it happens this way.
My best guess is that this is the last way possible for people who have been deeply isolated by anger and rage to communicate their dumb theories to people they haven’t exhausted yet. Perhaps the effect of utterly exhausting everyone around you is the common cause of it all.
Totally disagree. In their psychotic mind they probably think they’re igniting a revolution with their writings
I honestly think people are lonely and just want someone to listen to them, and when they are mentally ill this is a strange method they use to communicate.
The deafening irony of writing all of that on a Volkswagen.
Aw man, my first thought was “I gotta tag Bones; they would like this!”
You know me so well!
Here is a wonderful sovcitty court case.
My goodness. They gave it more attention than I would have, were I in their place!
I bet this guy screams “Am I being detained?!” at meter people when they ticket him for doubling parking like an asshole.
