The Role Of Manifestos In Stories

Manifestos. Those annoying little things that read like a parable from the Bible.

They expect you to read it, because they think their beliefs are so cool. Sadly, I write manifestos.

Just make sure that a Twihard manifesto doesn't exist.

Manifestos, in case you didn't know, are basically opinions that the writer thought were so awesome that he wanted it to spread. 

Yes, a Friday level of viral. That's the point of writing a manifesto. You want everyone to see the world in a new way. 

Now you might be thinking "Aarghh! Corporate blog!!! The power of Spongebob compells you. Begone foul entity! We don't want to learn about brocial media and equity equality stuff."

Guess what? 

I think they suck too. Thank God nobody reads 'em. Damn, nobody reads my blog. 

Manifestos don't usually appear in corporate blogs. 

What's that? You want me to prove it. Okay. Look at it this way. Most corporate blogs are lifeless zombies. They don't really say much. They're mostly just babbling in gibberish to promote their lame-ass product. 

Yes, there are some possible good ones. And I have to admit I do read business blogs, but they're two different things. Then again, most of them bore people to death.

Manifestos are written by people who have barriers against other  people's opinions...

Okay...

Manifestos are written by people who are passionate about an idea.

But then most of these manifestos are real stuff. Not imaginary.

That joke isn't even funny!

Stories always have themes like The Room. It isn't impossible that the ideas people shout out in the streets appear in their works.

When you write a manifesto about how China is taking over the world, I wouldn't surprised if your novel was about how China sucks out the soul out of everyone.

Manifestos even do a good job of guiding you on what to write after you lost all your memories.

Writing a manifesto makes you sound like a prophet, but then why would you write a novel about how Facebook is actually giving God all the data about your sins?
