Goblin IPO Prospectus: manifesto

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether manifesto counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

The goblins have long maintained that manifesto is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of manifesto, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does manifesto make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask manifesto directly. manifesto has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
