I don't know. The language doesn't feel like the same guy who wrote the Klippenstein text. I mean, the post isn't incorrect about its indictment of American healthcare, i just want to see verification before I attribute it to him.

I still think the first "fake" manifesto felt very real. With his skillset I imagine he could launch these things quickly, and/or schedule them in advance.

Deadman switch to hit publish if he doesn't send a code every 24 hours kinda thing I guess isn't too implausible, but until he takes responsibility for it or there is independent verification I'm withholding judgement.

Oh, for sure. I'd rather we called it "unverified" than fake.

At the very least, it was authentic to whoever actually wrote it - not a creative writing piece or ChatGPT. It was gutwrenching, and so well written.
