The root of all modern murders committed by mentally ill loners is a fear of being invisible. Its increasingly impossible to feel like you are known, it constantly feels like you are shouting into a void that no one cares about, so you make a commitment to murder in order to unearth the burden of being invisible this entire time. The manifesto is a huge part of that. The manifesto is all you had in you ideally.
The murder is basically the movie trailer for the manifesto.
This doesn't mean the manifesto will be formal, but increasingly, they are more genuine like a Dogme 95 film, an heirloom photo, or autistic cave paintings. Recently everyone from Luigi to Niggercell wrote purposefully shitpost manifestos, and that feels purposeful, because there is an awareness among them that writing in an overly pendantic way with unifying thesis is a bit stuffy and full of yourself in an era where the attention span is zero, and that it's a bit full of yourself to come across as though you are killing people because you are absolutely right. It's cool to be a little self-hating and humble in a manifesto, and admire the pantheon of loner murderers before you-- and see them all as revolutionaries who just wanted to matter and go out with a bang.
A manifesto of the modern era feels like a true look into their mind which is more interesting and aesthetic. This new era of murder is a lot more intimate, and less reliant on kill count, but more on the appeal, the aesthetics, the themes-- its no longer objective, but subjective like watching a movie. It's really a matter of taste who gets an Oscar. You know enough about them to know their inner pain, turmoil, their grievances, their sense of humor, and that can have a huge amount of sway depending on the murderer. And yes DEI is a huge part of this. It matters hugely, the race, sexuality, the SMV, the income class the murder is in, because it informs the context of the manifesto, in the same way DEI has an effect on your personal experience with cinema and games. As sad and as nihilistic as this is to say: murder truly is the defining art medium right now. Music, cinema, video games, fighting, all these arts don't cut it into the depths of true human expression like actual murder.
It's funny how murder victims never write a manifesto. Especially for murder victims who know they have it coming. You think they would since they love life supposedly. Like I would have loved to have read a manifesto written by Brian Thompson. Is there anything beyond a balance sheet of what he thought about his sucker customers that were denied coverage? I'm sure he also had an amazing sense of humor about it.
It would suck and be ironic if I got murdered and no one read my manifesto. I just hope that if I die, someone cared about me enough that knew me IRL to read my manifesto and learn I was a piece of shit all along.
