There is a dark and terrible line between a rant and a manifesto and it increasingly seems to be mass murder. The gunman who killed 49 people in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday, allegedly mapped out his five-step process: train, plan, settle affairs, write a manifesto, then kill. “Create memes, post memes, and spread memes. Memes have done more for the ethnonationalist movement than any manifesto,” the Christchurch treatise says. It’s the birthrates,” says the Christchurch manifesto, echoing Camus’ premise.
