Yeah. Everyone knows there is not any kind of contract people sign. States exert control by their nature of controlling certain areas within borders, and you being born there or immigrating there subjects you to its control. This does sound very similar to sovcit rhetoric given their whole focus on contracts and legal agreements you’ve somehow unknowingly made with the state but still exist out there somewhere. (though I get that’s probably not the actual OP’s intent with this ofc)
Whether the existence of the state(s) to exist as a structure of power is a good thing is another question, though.

Sovcits treat the law like it’s some arcane art. Anarchists usually employ power analysis to uderstand where laws come from.
But social contract theory is employed by statists to justify the state. So ridiculing it is fair game without being called a sovcit.
