      It’s critical to the conspiracy theory, though. By making it so incredibly arcane and difficult to follow, it makes it possible to point out a mistake the person made that stopped the incantation from working. Lets you avoid the more obvious conclusion of magic isn’t real.

        See, when he mentioned BLUE and BLACK ink, he was referring to the natural color. But for the thumbprint, you need red ink (the incorporation, not the natural color).

        It’s all very big brain.

      Yep, use the wrong color and the government will screw you over and not give you all the free stuff you rightfully deserve.

      There’s remarkable similarities to some of the witchy business stuff my wife is into with the asinine focus on the particulars, so that one can always deny that the ritual was performed correctly. It shields the actual principle from critical review.

      However, there’s a difference between brewing tea and trying to falsify financial records!

    • Oh, you almost got us, but Bill 2023-287A changed it from BLUE ink to INDIGO ink! Due to Section 994.8! having filed once and failed to abide by the rules, you have now forfeited your entire social security to the State Fund for Fancy Dinners.

      Sincerely,
