So which mass murderer manifesto has the greatest /lit/erary qualities?

Breivik, Rodger, Unabomber, other ...?

>> No.4986836

I haven't read any of them but they're probably all shit as murderers are mindless barbarians

>> No.4986846

>>4986806
From what I've heard, the Unabomber manifesto is actually pretty thought engaging. It's on my backlog.

Breivik's manifesto is just a giant mess of copy pasted articles, questionable facts, and delusional wish thinking. I regret spending as much time on reading it as I did.

Unabomber was assistant professor in Mathematics at Berkeley at the age of 25, I would hardly call that "mindless". Other than that I see your point.

This is now a mass-murderer manifesto tier list thread. I'm not even joking. I've read Eliot Roger's "book" and it wasn't that great. So the Unabomber's is at the top of this list?

>> No.4986881

>>4986877
Rodger's manifesto was pretty meh-tier but it was really interesting how he detailed his life story. You could actually follow his descent into absolute insanity as a result of shitty parenting and a shallow modern culture propagated by the media that insists that you have to be getting laid constantly to have any worth as a person.

Probably filename related since it's been published and has historical significance. The only one to which I (pretending to have read them all) can relate on intellectual grounds, to an extent, is Kaczynski's, but they all invalidate themselves on behavioral grounds, let's say.

You know well that a large percentage of people say something similar at some point out of frustration, etc. Marx didn't literally do this.

Adding to your arguments, Marx never even said that in the first place. Marx and Engels were quite wealthy themselves.

what's really funny is the fact that you're responding to that seriously, because it proves you have no familiarity with marx.

Unabomber. Ted is a smart guy with an unusual moral compass.

As for other mass murderer manifestos, are there any? The Finish school shooter (Matti Juhani Saari). His ideology was: I am smart, most people are dumb, this has been caused by the end of natural selection through modern society, I will publish this manifesto to start a revolution of smart people killing the dumb people after it becomes well known through the shooting. Basically narcissism.

Anyone want to speculate on why Eliot murdered people? Or just narcissism combined with not having an amazing life accord to external standards in one respect (socially).

what a rusemeister

>> No.4987154

Ted's featured criticism of modern society, but his solutions were absolutely retarded.

Brevik's seemed like it was responding to legitimate issues, but he oversimplified them. Also, his rhetoric was just plain silly.

Rodger's was just petty and whiny, but as >>4986881 said, it does interestingly reflect on our society.

>>4986851
Which one?

He was a narcissist at his core. Just from his writing you could tell that he was a vain douchebag, and thats the reason why nobody wanted to be around him and that women avoided him like the plague.

He just couldnt come to terms with the concept that maybe he was the reason for all his troubles, and that he wasnt a victim.

Thats actually a fairly common condition among young people, most grow out of it.

Honestly, God himself delegated the writing of his sacred book to a bunch of desert dwelling goons; eliot did it all by himself instead. I guess he really was divine after all.
