I think what confuses people about the sovcit thing is to believe it's all purists. Like the belief that the law has some divine power of protection.
See I get the skepticism. I would agree that such a belief is frankly useless and "schizoaffective" level nuts.
I'm talking more about a tipping point, a fracture, a leveragable area. I don't like puristic altruism.
*Pacifists: sooner or later you have to defend yourself. Don't be a nitwit, thinking "do no harm" has ever really been practiced. Maybe you have it confised with some models of "try and do less harm"
*Religious fundamentalists: among these you have extremist "jyhad" terrorists. Your god says it's ok to kill and die because the infidels failed to put their sandals facing east with a red balloon and some goat milk you suck at midnight. You're an idiot. What makes your stupid sacred book magical
*"Sovcit law purists" - the media makes it look like there's a bunch of these when that's kind of bs. There are indeed a few and they're losers too. To think stamping the top left corner of your bill with red ink and planting the corpus rosa cacatunga flag in the north and south equinox corners of your desk ... now for sure the police won't touch you. Stupid.

Here's what I see
---
*Escapists (it sounds like a terrible word, it's really not) - trying to live in a basic van / RV, forage , grow gardens, whatever. Acoid the grid. They do exist and I like their stance. But know that asshole police will come for you. Sometimes a rifle is enough. Maybe they just think you're crazy enough and tucked away enough maybe it's not worth the fight
*Tax "protestors" or resistors. See these are often the "sovcits". They're refusing to pay. But if you read "income tax : shattering the myth" you will see that a bunch of ridiculous loopholes, at the end of the giant maze, the IRS itself admits you don't have to pay. Unfortunately most lawyers are too dumb to understand but you can leverage the facts. They will typically dismiss the charges and leave you alone. Not because the law is a supernatural shield, but because they play a game trying to protect their own egos and their law firm posterity. Making them look stupid in court is real power. In the end you can still be the crazy guy with a gun if you really want to.
*The crazy guy with a gun. This comes down to rioters and looters that are outright criminal. I'm not opposed to them. People seem to think that revolutions are built on british-accented victorian-style outfits shouting "viva la resistance" yo wake up it's nodern day. Any "revolution" is probably gonna come with smashed windows and flaming cars.
*Internet pirates: circumventing media in any way they can, getting independent of ISPs and just copying the shot out of everything.

There really is nothing pure to protect. It's a prison. A fucking prison. Get it? Bothing pure in a fucking prison. Throw shit at the bars, climb chairs to get over, put fires up in the mess hall.
And yes occasionally watch kids at tge slides because well if they die there's no one left anyway and our IS-BEs are sucked by that weird demon gate whatever thingy
