Summary
Reddit is removing posts linking to Luigi Mangione’s manifesto, citing its longstanding policy against content related to violent acts.
The manifesto, tied to the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has sparked online fascination and debate.
While Reddit allows discussion of the manifesto within its rules, posts linking to its full text—shared on Substack by journalist Ken Klippenstein—are being removed, angering users.
Critics accuse Reddit of selective moderation, as some sympathize with Mangione’s frustrations over the U.S. healthcare system, which has come under renewed scrutiny after the incident.
And as far as Manifestos go, it’s really more of a postcard.
Kids these days, not even an entire book-length manifesto like they used to write. SMH My Head 🙄
Yeah, they keep calling it a 3 page manifesto. One of the people interviewed said it’s just 3 pages with writing on them, not like paragraph after paragraph for 3 pages.
