Yousef El once said that calling someone a "sovereign citizen" is like calling them the N word. Nothing is a greater display of lack of education in law (let alone functional skills pertaining to grammar and reading comprehension of law) and bigotry than uttering "sovereign citizen" at someone who did not utter the term themselves.

A state citizen is not a sovereign citizen and "sovereign citizen" isn't even a thing in law. The passport received by a state citizen from the state department has different metadata than that of a federal citizen, this is a hard fact. There is a mountain of case law regarding the state citizen status. Should you find the relevant case law incomprehensible then you lack integrity and you yourself are indeed, on a spiritual level, the N word here.
