Edit: Here’s a link to what is most likely the real manifesto: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto

Ken Klippenstein is a very reliable journalist and this version of the manifesto contains the snippets that have been released by law enforcement. Also, considering the thing was hand-written, that very long version involving his mom is dubious. (And there’s not any good evidence that his mom is in anything besides decent/good health)

It will be. But because it has its limits, eventually they would opt to just not fucking be dirt bags in the first place.

Would you choose to be a ceo if you knew there was a chance you'd get shot, drone bombed, poisoned, etc?

Two of those haven't happened yet, right?

I feel like a CEO dying because someone took a job as a caterer and poisoned him would be hilarious, but probably not as evocative as shooting him dead on the street.

Drones would probably be terrifying. Would the authorities even be able to trace it back to you? I don't think you can just buy a murder drone but you could probably make one with an explosive or chemical payload. I'd love to see CEOs flinching every time they hear something outside.

Not to my knowledge. Though it's only a matter of time.

If you built the drone entirely on your own with 3d printing and spare parts, I'd imagine it would be much harder.

It's definitely something you'd have to [REDACTED]
