I read the first 25 pages yesterday and my impression was that the manifesto was too well written for an 18 year old kid.
I read yesterday that he had top grades in high school—assumes that may not be difficult to achieve these days.
In the first 25 pages it seemed his main complaint was immigration and that the whites were not having enough babies.
I have not seen any reports regarding his parents and why they were letting him buy these guns and if they did not let him buy these guns, why didn’t they know.
The parents would have known he had mental problems since he had been hospitalized the prior year for making threats.
They knew.
Of course the kid could be literate and talented at 18.
Woke education turns children into child-like selfish monsters.
He should have been channeled into the traditional classics of Western Civilization, and exposure to as much math and science as could be forced on him.
I had the exact same feeling. It reads like he's writing his autobiography after many years of reflection. He may be very intelligent, but what 18 year-old writes like this?
“I would prefer to call myself a populist. But you can call me an ethno-nationalist eco-fascist national socialist if you want, I wouldn’t disagree with you.”
Well, he is right about the immigration and the babies.
Rhetorical question....
Why do we even have form 4473 if this nitwit with a proven record of mental incapacity make it by the NICS check?
and that the whites were not having enough babies.

So, he is anti abortion. Really, really bad.
Much of it is virtually cut and paste, verbatim, with only minor alterations from the manifesto of the NZ shooter, who largely, cut and paste his manifesto from that of Anders Breivik.
In short, he plagiarized, like many 18 year olds do.
It’s been established he copy-pasted big chunks from the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant (New Zealand mosque mass murderer) and stuff he found on 4chan. He did not write all that himself.
There’s a good way to determine if it’s his work. All they need to do is get copies of all the essays he’s written in high school and compare the writing styles. One’s writing style is almost as individual as one’s finger prints.
anybody know what HS he went to?...hope it wasn’t mine....Conklin btw is next door to Binghamton...
Ben Shapiro’s photograph appears in this manifesto.
