Someone's spreading an MBR-trashing copy of the Christchurch killer's 'manifesto' – and we're OK with this, maybe?

Re: Reading between the lines...

Most people would read the manifesto and react that the author is a nutcase. Others will take to heart. So it's a two edged sword like just about any religious, political, of philosophical writings. It takes a state of mind to analyze what one reads and accepts as "truth".

Indeed. I think one of the other issues with this specific manifesto is that it is so meme-laden and loaded with internet culture that an awful lot of the mainstream media don't actually understand what they're looking at and cannot be trusted to report it accurately.

The only options are total censorship - including a reporting ban - or to give it the light of day so everyone can judge for themselves.
