And they're always so shocked whatever thing they did didn't work.

The spelling and grammar backs that up, most of them are barely literate.

For me it's like...if all this is true then why isn't this guy rich and winning court cases left and right? The only possible explanation is that this isn't true because he's not.

I have to assume the majority of these posts are people who are poorly educated, under extreme financial stress and discover this apparent easy escape from all their problems. Presumably the majority eventually realize it doesn't work and stop posting - causing a lot of churn but keeping the community of sovcits populated.

No-means-testing true UBI would probably kill it for good.

I'd like to imagine they've got a triangle with them

No! ting

That sounds like Afro-Caribbean vernacular English, suggesting that this is affinity fraud targeting that community.

That's not my name

This many laughing-crying emojis in a post is already the sign of a deranged mind. The tone of these always feels like you're talking down to the reader, like bringing a bill to a bank and depositing it into your checking account is the most obvious thing in the world.

But for folks with absolutely nothing, who feel like they're constantly being hoodwinked and scammed and bullied out of what little they scrounge, I can see it making sense in the same way a mirage in the desert makes sense. I can see people who are already destitute and angry at the world deciding to take their pile of bills to a local bank branch and treat it as deposits. Even if it doesn't make any sense, it must give you some kind of dopamine hit to feel righteous and demanding in the face of an institution that only ever seems to bleed you dry.

That part almost makes sense. Like, from the Bank's perspective your deposit is a liability, not an asset. But the mortgage on your house that they very much can give you is an asset for them and a liability for you. Two-column accounting works like that; everything in my asset column is going to be in someone's liability column.

But none of the other nonsense follows from that at all. It's the few sentences bordering on lucidity to make you forget how insane all the promises from earlier were.

Just cram it right in.

You can use loan money to give loans.

Definitely sovcit-ish!
