    If we assume Bigfoot exists and is intelligent, I would suggest they are more like an indigenous tribe or people like those un-contacted tribes in the Amazon rain forest or the folks on North Sentinel island.

    Kind of left alone to manage and govern themselves.

    I’ve got a theory that Bigfoot sightings are frequently just people who dropped out of society to live a primitive life in the woods. In that case yeah, basically.

    Maybe, but why does he sound Australian?

    Bigfoot, if real, is an animal and thus not a citizen of any kind what-so-ever.

    Nope, no passport. Deported! Maybe Canada can have him as part of an eventual trade deal /s

    Well Bigfoot isn’t a human so therefore wouldn’t be able to apply for citizenship to any country as far as I’m aware. So he could be stateless. Or if you consider Bigfoot more of a animal it’s just a animal

    Probably the only actual sovcit. Bigfoot has no need for your driver’s license. Bigfoot does not recognize any court. Bigfoot travels.

      He is the sovcits spirit animal.

        This makes more sense than a sovcit

      https://www.cfholbert.com/blog/bigfoot-sightings/

      Based on this graph of sightings over time, he’s spending less time in the Pacific Northwest and increasing time in Florida.

      https://www.core-wm.com/2024/07/02/navigating-floridas-unique-tax-environment-for-high-net-worth-individuals/

      Florida has long been a magnet for high-net-worth individuals, thanks in large part to its favorable tax climate.

      Florida’s most attractive tax feature is the absence of a state income tax. This applies to both earned income and income from investments, making it particularly appealing for high-income earners and retirees alike.

      Florida does not impose estate or inheritance taxes, providing a substantial advantage for wealth preservation and transfer.

      I figure he’s probably using legal methods to shelter assets from taxes, rather than trying to illegally evade 'em.

        Based on the number of sightings on this map, I’m starting to think that maybe most people have just never seen a homeless person before…

          I would call it a spurious correlation, except it’s hard to measure the impact of the enthusiast meet-ups that Bigfoot leads…

    Probably depends on if they are homosapiens or not. My guess is if they aren’t, they’ll be treated like any other animal and put in a cage

      He doesn’t have to be a homosapien, he could be a corporation instead!

    It’s fiction. So, it’s whatever you want it to be.

    You don’t know if he was on a weekend trip from Australia. it’s fucking fiction.

    They have an underground subway straight from Perth to Montana. It’s still just stupid fiction.

      Hey, this person is trying to convince us the subway from Australia to Montana is fake! Then it must be real!

        Yup. They are part of “They”, as in the ones who are hiding the truth from us.

    No because Bigfoot doesn’t exist. Therefore he fails the “is” part of the assertion.
