Doubt. Doesn’t include any of the statements authorities have quoted. They also mentioned the handwritten manifesto was 262 words.

Even if this isn’t the manifesto, his family had money, this reads like it was written by a high schooler, and it was posted yesterday.

real one was just posted https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto

Can people stop spreading this without verifying the source?

I am skeptical given we have samples of his writing and that and that this has been circulated as his manifesto. Authorities have stated the manifesto is 262 words, handwritten (likely not copied digitally), and we have a quote from it stating he was working alone. This is in the area of 1500 words, reads like crap, does not include the quote, and does not account for the means of his family.

Not necessarily but basing an idealogy in fantasy (as he talks about the emperor being god in gladiator) neglects reality. Anger and whatever sense of righteousness you subscribe to should be based firmly in reality, otherwise you’ll find you are acting on nothing but hypotheticals.

How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don’t waste it.

Point taken. I will admit I have been more critical given I don’t believe this is real.

Sure there might be a message to extract and generally I am open to talking about it, but at the moment most people are interested in the type of person this guy is and a fabricated message just doesn’t tell us anything.

Keep the pressure up I guess? Probably a combination of on lawmakers and insurance companies, why not big pharma while we’re at it?

My only complaint about this response is everyone that says it is all talk.

If that’s the only option and I don’t see another headline, there are a lot of people doing absolutely nothing.

Yeah hasn’t been helpful for getting a sense for the minds of the masses but generally a lot more grounded than reddit

Also though echo chambers are bad most of the time for most people, occasionally they help in challenging our own beliefs but only when engaged critically.
