After reviewing a fair bit on the shooting in Minneapolis this past week, with the transwoman....I'll offer my belief on these people who seem to think they are manifesto-intellectuals, and needing to write of the great wrongs in society, life and the 'demons' they need to defeat.
Most people go through their entire life....never writing a manifesto. No one collects such data....if you asked me......less than five people per 10,000 get into this habit. Most went to some college environment, or had a higher-than-average IQ.
Once you finished writing your manifesto...whether three pages, or sixty pages....it's rarely ever read by anyone, unless of course you go out in some blaze of glory, and then 3-million folks will read your manifesto.
I've probably read a total of seven manifestos over my entire life. It's not really science stuff....collected data....or even factual. I'd lean more toward it being perceived things.
Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf (published in 1925) a manifesto? Yes. Awful wordy, and mostly a statement of perceived things (things to blame).
The Communist Manifesto (1848) by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, a manifesto? Yes. It fits for early 1800s civilization....not modern society.
Common Sense (1776) by Thomas Paine, a manifesto? Absolutely.
Always written by someone mentally ill? No....you can't make that case.
Most always...the guy writing this...reaches some level where he wants you see things his way, and fix the wrongs.
The one odd factor I've noted? Well....it's roughly 99-percent of guys who write manifesto crap. I have no idea why women avoid this....maybe they got better things to do. Maybe they've already fixed most of the wrongs in society.
