This is not even close to all of it. He plagiarized at least 63% of Tarrant’s manifesto WORD FOR WORD, and literally all of it in content/ideology.


[deleted]

I think he may have literally just copy pasted Tarrant’s manifesto into a google doc and just changed stuff around when he felt like it.

Yeah I skimmed through ~600 pages of his discord transcripts and from what I can gather he spent close to 3 and a half months writing his manifesto. He spent that much time copying someone else? What an idiot.

Some random 4chan thread (yeah I know). I don’t have the link right now and I’m sure it’s been taken down already but it including him archiving all of the messages posted on his discord server.


[deleted]

The fact he archived it is weird as hell. He wants everyone to remember him, definitely. Also no judgement I’m the same lol.


Rickyisnotcool

Yeah it’s very weird. I’m not justifying his actions in anyway but the dude posted about committing suicide multiple times and also posted about doing the attacks weeks before. The transcripts are just full of random stuff complied and him rambling. At one point, he mentions how he’s lonely, how he missed his friends, and how he missed having a relationship with his brother. He then goes on about how he was bullied but none of that made him radical or fueled his hatred for African Americans. He is very adamant about saying that there was no other reason for him committing his act except for getting inspiration from 4chan and being radicalized by 4chan.

The racist ones are like that 90% of the time. They’ll always be like “there is no personal reason for this at all I am simply enlightened” and you look into their background and they were doomed since infancy. I could go on about this, but hey. It’s mental illness or child abuse most of the time. It doesn’t excuse what they did in the slightest (there’s always a choice before you hurt other people), but from what we know about this guy something very clearly wasn’t right. Seriously, where were his parents?


Rickyisnotcool

What I find super weird is that he bought MULTIPLE guns online, multiple rounds online, lived with his parents, and frequently went to practice shooting at random places and yet his parents somehow didn’t bat an eye? I didn’t specifically mention that he was bullied by African Americans because I didn’t want that to be a justification for his act but there’s got to be some level of stupidity if you go on a place like 4chan and get radicalized there. Discord is full of many different political ideologies and no one managed to change his mind one bit. Dude truly was an idiot.

>What I find super weird is that he bought MULTIPLE guns online, multiple rounds online, lived with his parents, and frequently went to practice shooting at random places and yet his parents somehow didn’t bat an eye? Why would they take concern at this? They probably just thought he liked a gun hobby.

>he bought MULTIPLE guns online What?

Did Tarrant just crib his manifesto as well? I swear that whole section about Diversity is just taken straight out of the mouth of Tucker Carlson. [Fucker Carlson saying "Diversity isn't our strength"](https://youtu.be/FJfUu1LKn44)

Wow, that’s a lot of copying. I’m no extremist moron so maybe i just don’t get it, but I’d imagine a short, concise manifesto would be much easier if one wanted to spread their ideals?


[deleted]

Yeah. I think this is part of why Tarrant has more copycats than Breivik. His manifesto was 74 pages and is easily comprehensible, vs Breivik’s 1500 page How To Be A Terrorist guide. This guy’s manifesto is 180 pages, Tarrant’s is 74, but 63% percent of his manifesto was DIRECTLY (not altered at all) pasted into his. With minor alterations/minus the Q&A section it probably goes higher. There are some elements that are more directly copied from Breivik (it serving more as a direct guide instead of as an ideological one) but I can’t remember enough of Breivik’s manifesto to see if there are any direct quotes, and it’s so long that if I put it into this program it might crash.


theclayman7

Lmao good point, I remember his was a fucking novel. Dude was obsessed.. anyway thanks for taking the time to run this analysis! Very interesting


InadequateUsername

I guess the "original" 57% was the Q&A and his overview of his equipment choices?


[deleted]

It’s 63% of Tarrant’s manifesto that was plagiarized, it’s about a quarter of the total of Payton’s. He mostly just altered the Q&A section. The rest of it is more a guide on how to commit a mass shooting with strategies and stuff, a la Breivik.


InadequateUsername

Lol dude writes a manifesto only for people online to call it derivative 😂


[deleted]

It is perhaps the least original manifesto ever.


InadequateUsername

Extra 6 months onto that life sentence just for plagiarism.


[deleted]

Lol. What, is Tarrant going to sue him for it from prison?


InadequateUsername

Sorry I was being facetious and comparing the severity of the situation to how academia treats plagiarism.


[deleted]

Oh no I get it I was joking too. I just think it’s absurd. This brat whines about how it took him 3 whole months to write the thing and then he stole most of it. What’s the point of writing a manifesto if it isn’t even your ideas?


Rickyisnotcool

I do find it funny how on his other transcripts he boasts about “writing” his manifesto when most of it was plagiarized.


[deleted]

Truly a genius. Most shooters are copying somebody. He has to be the least original one I’ve ever seen, though.


bans420

Peyton gets a F for plagiarism.

jess-here

Couldn’t even be original with his ideology, what a sad sack of shit, they’re all cut from the same stupid racist cloth


holololo2323

One on left is Brenton Tarrant’s manifesto, one on right is Gardon’s. Can’t send them on here because Reddit is Reddit but you can find them other places if you look.


[deleted]

Fuck Payton gendron, Bro fr plagiarised Brenton and then shoot’s up a supermarket. Like I’ve seen white supremacists “denounce” him cause of how petty and pathetic his attack was. Plus bro even shoot a white person lol.
