Strawman theory (also called the strawman illusion) is a pseudolegal conspiracy theory originating in the redemption/A4V movement and prevalent in antigovernment and tax protester movements such as sovereign citizens and freemen on the land. The theory holds that an individual has two personas, one of flesh and blood and the other a separate legal personality (i.e., the "strawman"). Canadian legal scholar Donald J. Netolitzky has called the strawman theory "the most innovative component of the Pseudolaw Memeplex".

  • Lastozko gizonaren teoria (lastozko gizonaren ilusioa ere deitua, ingelesez: Strawman theory) bat da, sortu zena eta eta hainbat mugimendutan gailentzen dena, hala nola eta mugimenduetan. Teoriaren arabera, gizabanako batek bi pertsona ditu, bata hezur-haragizkoa eta bestea nortasun juridiko bereizia (hau da, "Lastozko gizona"). Ideia da pertsona baten zorrak, betebeharrak, zergak eta legezko erantzukizunak lastozko gizonarenak direla, eta ez pertsona fisikoarenak. Lastozko gizonaren teoria iruzurtzat jotzen du legeak; hura sustatzen duen edonor iruzurgilea izan daitekeela uste du FBIk, eta Barne Zergen Zerbitzuak (IRS) argudio fribolotzat hartzen du, isunak jarriz zerga aitorpenetan hori alegatzen duten pertsonentzat.

  • Strawman theory (also called the strawman illusion) is a pseudolegal conspiracy theory originating in the redemption/A4V movement and prevalent in antigovernment and tax protester movements such as sovereign citizens and freemen on the land. The theory holds that an individual has two personas, one of flesh and blood and the other a separate legal personality (i.e., the "strawman"). The idea is that an individual's legal responsibilities belong to the strawman rather than the physical individual. Pseudolaw advocates claim that it is possible, through the use of certain "redemption" procedures and documents, to separate oneself from the "strawman", therefore becoming free of the rule of law. Hence, the main use of strawman theory is in escaping and denying liabilities and legal responsibility. Tax protesters, "commercial redemption" and "get out of debt free" scams claim that one's debts and taxes are the responsibility of the strawman and not of the real person. They back this claim by misreading the legal definition of person and misunderstanding the distinction between a juridicial person and a natural person. Courts have uniformly rejected arguments relying on the strawman theory, which is recognized in law as a scam; the FBI considers anyone promoting it a likely fraudster, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers it a frivolous argument and fines people who claim it on their tax returns. Canadian legal scholar Donald J. Netolitzky has called the strawman theory "the most innovative component of the Pseudolaw Memeplex". (en)
