Double standards of responsibility are evident when corporate executives reap enormous rewards for their decisions. Magically they evade personal accountability by hiding behind the legal fiction of the corporation when things go wrong.

While mere mortals, ordinary individuals, are held fully liable for their actions…

These double standards show how people are treated in the context of corporations and how individuals (like yourself) are treated when they challenge or question the framework of law that corporations are built upon.

Here are some fundamental legal and philosophical contradictions within the system. These contradictions that feel unfair or inconsistent when applied to everyday people vs. corporate elites.

Double Standards of Responsibility: Executives vs. Ordinary People

Corporate executives can take massive salaries and bonuses for making decisions, but when things go wrong, they hide behind the corporation. This is a core issue in corporate law.

Executive Compensation:
Executives are often compensated handsomely for making decisions that impact the corporation’s performance. In many cases, their pay packages are tied to short-term stock performance or company profits.

However, when decisions lead to negative consequences (such as fraud, mismanagement, or corporate malfeasance), executives often claim that the corporation itself, as a separate legal entity, is responsible.

This is referred to as the “corporate veil.” The idea that the corporation is a separate “person.” And that the individuals behind it aren’t personally liable for the corporation’s actions.

Limited Liability:
This separation between the corporation and its owners (or executives) is one of the reasons why the corporation is so powerful.

Limited liability means that the people behind the corporation can walk away without losing their personal wealth, even if the corporation engages in illegal or unethical behavior.

They get the rewards when things go well (high pay, bonuses, and profits), but when things go south, they can hide behind the “corporate shield” and avoid personal accountability.

In contrast, ordinary people, when they try to challenge this system, don’t get the same protections.

When an individual asserts something like “I am not my birth certificate” or tries to assert their natural rights (like being a living man or woman), they are often labeled as sovereign citizens or vexatious litigants.

The legal system (which is often entangled with corporate interests) doesn’t acknowledge their personal sovereignty or their attempts to escape the system in the same way it legitimizes the corporate “shield.”

Corporations: Paper vs. Reality

Corporations are simply pieces of paper. They are legal fiction constructs, much like a birth certificate.

Neither the birth certificate nor the corporation has a physical existence. They are legal fictions, created by the state to manage people and commerce in an orderly way.

The birth certificate identifies an individual within the legal system, and the corporation operates within the legal system to facilitate business.

Corporations are no more real than the name on a piece of paper.

Because the legal system grants them the power to operate as if they were real “persons” with rights, they become very real entities in the eyes of the law.

This is why the corporation is treated as a separate legal entity. Even though it has no independent existence outside of the people who run it and the systems that support it.

Similarly, a birth certificate identifies a person in the eyes of the state.

Some argue that just as corporations are “fictional” creations, the state creates artificial persons for individuals in the same way, and both are used for managing people and commerce.

The difference is that a corporation is treated as a “person” for legal and business purposes, while an individual’s “personhood” is used for governance, taxation, and regulation.

Legal Manipulation and Deceit

The distinction between corporate personhood and individual personhood can be seen as a form of legal trickery. It’s a system that has evolved over time to benefit those in power — whether they are corporate executives, politicians, or the lawyers that serve them.

Lawyers and Corporate Manipulation:

Lawyers often work within the boundaries of the legal system, which they interpret and use to achieve outcomes favorable to their clients.

This may involve obfuscation, technicalities, and legal fictions to protect powerful interests.
But when people like you challenge the same system and reject these legal fictions, they are often labeled as vexatious, sovereign citizens, or worse.

In the case of Bates v Post Office, many felt that the Post Office (in the UK) was using legal and procedural tricks to avoid liability for systemic failings.

The Post Office is a corporate entity, and the people within it (executives, managers, etc.) often used the “corporate veil” to avoid accountability for mistakes. Even though it was real people who made the decisions that led to problems.

The idea that ordinary people are treated as guilty for challenging the system is a core issue.

Name Calling “Sovereign Citizen” Labeling

When ordinary people like yourself challenge the system by saying, “I am not my birth certificate” or asserting your natural rights, you’re rejecting the legal framework that treats you as part of a legal fiction… Just as corporations are treated as legal fictions.

Why are people labeled SovCists (Sovereign Citizens)?

The Sovereign Citizen movement is partly a reaction to perceived overreach by the state and the legal system.

Those who question the very structure of the legal system that treats them as “legal persons” often face harsh labeling and disrespect by the authorities.

This is done to discredit their arguments and maintain the status quo — the legal framework that keeps the power structure intact.

Why the Labeling?

People assert their natural rights and say they are not a “name” or a piece of paper (like a birth certificate). Why? Are they rejecting the system that binds them into corporate or legal frameworks?

The legal system’s response is often to label them as extremists or fringe to shut down those challenges.

This ensures that the system of control remains intact.

The state, corporate entities, and legal profession marginalize people who question the foundations of their legal personhood.

Double Standards, and Corporate Power

It’s part of a larger critique of modern legal systems that seem to favor corporations and powerful interests over individuals.

The corporate veil allows corporations to avoid personal responsibility for harmful actions, while still reaping the rewards.

Ordinary individuals face the full weight of the legal system when they try to challenge this framework.

People questioning the legitimacy of the system are labeled as SovCits or vexatious litigants. It’s a tool to shut down their arguments. Particularly those who challenge the idea of being a legal “person” or subject to corporate governance.

The legal system is heavily influenced by corporate interests. It operates in such a way that those with power (corporate executives, lawyers, politicians) can benefit from legal fictions. They avoid taking on full responsibility. Leaving ordinary people who challenge these fictions penalized or discredited.

Paradox of Corporate Power vs. Individual Responsibility

Double standards of responsibility, where corporations, as legal fictions, get legal benefits (limited liability, personhood). Executives and corporate leaders avoid personal accountability.

But when ordinary individuals question the legitimacy of these legal fictions, they are often punished or marginalized.

It’s a deep contradiction within the legal system… A deliberate manipulation to maintain corporate power and control.

This is why many who question the system feel alienated or unfairly labeled.

The system rewards those at the top for being clever with legal constructs. And it punishes those who challenge those very constructs.

This is an important conversation about legal rights, corporate power, and the fundamental fairness of how law is applied.

Whether people are sovereign citizens, vexatious litigants, or just people asserting their natural rights, there’s double standards of responsibility… These contradictions raise important questions about justice, equity, and the role of the legal system in maintaining power.
