What do you think the government would do in the remote case that significant numbers of people starting taking this “sovereign citizen” stance? I know it’s not likely, but at least it’s a realistic course of action and could be done, as shown by those doing it.

I doubt it would ever come to that, in a few isolated cases where the guy is willing to live like a hermit in the wilderness like this one you can just leave em well enough alone.
But when you start getting people engaged with our civilization buying, selling, and using the public road & utility system allowing them to simply ignore the law is a threat to the rights of every around them with whom they deal. Leaving them alone thus becomes an unacceptable stances for rather obvious reasons.
So the answer your question, no it could not come to that because there simply aren’t enough people in situation where they can live like a hermit like this man. And even if there were, odds are few wise authorities would take note. Their “protest” would largely fall on deaf ears, just as this man’s protest has.
A solution to the scale of the Federal problem is going to require organization on a massive State sized scale to even have a serous enough impact to take notice.
Then to win over public opinion which will be essential to victory your going to have to lul them into looking evil.
This is regretfully something hermit sovereign citizen like this man are least capable of doing of all people.
