Kinda reminds me of the Runner sect in the Russian Old Believers. Guys basically decided that civil government was literally Satan, so having any kind of document or paying any kind of tax, as well as serving in the army, or in some cases, even using money at all, was considered a sin among them. They made themselves "passports" which were pieces of paper with things like "The Lord is the protector of my life: so whom shall I fear?" written on them.
In contrast to "sovereign citizens", the government and the church considered them to be DOUBLE HERESY, so they also had no permanent homes (convenient since they also considered having stuff to be evil) and were generally hunted.
Plus they believed that the world was going to end / there was a Heaven on Earth called Belovodye ('Whitewater land') that one could get to if one was free of sin / similar magical and eschatological nonsense.

All in all, a bunch of crazy religious weirdos, but at the same time kinda badass in a way. It's like, one of those guys would make a fascinating character for an RPG. I have to think more on that.

Oh, that is a cool concept. It works well with the rootless, travelling adventurer-cleric thing. I've always wanted a stonking big 17'th century RPG (sort of like that Three Musketeers film, that was basically swashbuckling fantasy, and absolutely fabulous), and these chaps would fit right in.

My money is still on chaos cult. A Tzeenchian cult trying to spread lawlessness by fomenting a moral panic maybe.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Apparently there's some kind of nation wide clown "pandemic", as people freak out over reports of suspicious looking clowns doing suspicious stuff. Actual professional clowns are getting harassed for it, there's "clown hunts" as people form groups to look for reported suspicious clowns, etc.

What the hell.

Some thought the world would end in fire, others in ice, perhaps submerged in water, or destroyed by something from outer space, or eaten by machines, but they were all wrong, the world will end in clowns.

Thus began the crucible of fire and cream pies known as the Honkening.

Bah. It is the lower orders acting up again. Common miscreants who have learnt a new trick. Nothing to be afraid of, and nothing that a sound caning will not cure. This is simply what a lack of firmness in society will lead to, I tell you. Spare the rod, make the clown.

I still propose that creepy clowning should be considered a breach of the peace severe enough to render the clown in question lawless. If you live by the rubber nose, you die by the rubber nose.

Someone I knew in High School posted this on FB unironically.

I am not joking when I tell you guys that I hear honks at night. Considering the fact that I live at the top floor of a large building that isn't located in the US, I have no idea where they come from.
