I'm 20 mins in and all these points were mentioned earlier in the thread. Including the Spanish tower thing which caused some heated debate. I think that the most interesting thing about the manifesto is that it seems incredibly literal. Elliot claims to be genetically superior and yet he includes his preemiesque birth weight and lack of physical/intellectual ability etc. Elliot also has that weird thing with hindsight that Chris does. Like when Chris says that he should have had 'dating ed' without remembering how boring he would have found it at that age. Literally putting their current selves into their childhood bodies.
The only thing I would really criticise this guy for atm is not taking into account how bad his tantrums were. Saying that Elliot was just "expressing a preference" rather than "expressing a preference by flipping his shit". Elliot's upbringing was not great but he also had mental issues.
I don't necessarily think that Soumaya was as cold as this guy makes out. I think she was the first person to try to apply boundaries to an out of control 7 year old. I think she was probably too harsh in some ways but often her 'cruel' behaviour was just the equivalent of telling him to stop playing WoW at 2am.
Older kid with porn at an arcade = pedo. Now this might be true but kids had laptops etc when Elliot was 13. I remember being at a house party at 14 and when I went upstairs a bunch of the guys had hooked up the PC to the internet and were playing a hardcore gangbang. They thought they were so badass. Bless 'em. Elliot tends to be very literal so if he had meant an adult I'm pretty sure he would have said so.
