Considering that "manifesto" just means "essay describing an opinion", I don't think your repetition of the word is the indictment you intended.


Exactly. Writing and publishing manifestos is a normal thing. Surely if you cannot link to your manifesto it is simply because you’ve yet to finish proofreading it


I too am intensely distrustful of anyone expressing an opinion in more than a few paragraphs


This is a good point. A manifesto is when you write more than a few paragraphs. The Cheesecake Factory menu is a manifesto, for example, and it is a baffling failure of diction that they do not call it that.


I am now considering what I would write in a manifesto. It wouldn't be a bad exercise, although sharing it with other people would lock me into a bunch of opinions that I might regret later.
