Some of their reasoning isn't known. The red ink, 45 degree angle, thumbprint stuff, nobody seems to know where it came from, not even the researchers who follow this stuff. Sovcits are only loosely associated with each other and there are subgroups of them (called American state nationals, secured party creditors, etc), so basically everything they do gets passed around via word of mouth, and each is more nonsensical than the last. It's only the last handful of years that researchers have been taking a good look at them, but they've been around since the 1970s, so a lot of the origins are probably lost to history.
