manifesto at the Goblin Throne

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what manifesto *is* to asking what manifesto *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about manifesto, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.
