Why do shooters' manifestos always do Q&As?

Seriously, it's weird. If I wanted to write about my world view and why I want drastic violent change, I would not use a dialogue with a presumed reader. I can't be the only one who prefers to express complex ideas an a monologue or pros.

I would like to suggest that the use of dialogues in different shoots are suspicious.

A dialogue was used by the the New Zealand Christ Church (stupid name) manifesto.

The black highschooler who wanted to joint the air force after highschool who shot up his school was also the same. He used a Q&A.

A lot of the old Greek Classics and the hermetic texts use Q&As or dialogues too. Plato's writing are actually referred to as "Plato's Dialogues".

The Italian who shot up a grocery store in a black district in upstate New York also used a Q&A in his manifesto.

I'm not sure if the FtoM that shot up her catholic highschool did a Q&A or not. I'm not aware of manifestos comes out for this years shooters.

what the other guy said probably. it can also be used to clear up any sort of presumed misconceptions or perceptions that the writer believes would be attributed to his actions. in other words, it can be
used to preemptively dictate and alter the discourse which may or be attributed or derived from X incident and the gayop that is the writing. perhaps you should see the world from a different perspective.
think of someone else who'd need to write something like this. a Q&A section can just basically be used to put words into their moufs or whatever desu. they acknowledge that they might die or at the very
least be gone, so as a result of that they'd like to append a little more to the end of their wikipedia page preferably.
idk what else is there to say. some people would have questions, which have been oh so conveniently answered by the cadaver itself, it's a miracle! so instead of that cunt on CNN with their PhD in sociology
or psychology or whatever taking shots at them at 40 WPM, you've got a faggot Naatraam larper being interviewed.
also like er could you not use that spacing in between every single line? it's a bit annoying to read with that IME buy you do you

All the manifestos have atrocious formatting. I don't think they do it to be copy cats. I thought maybe the Q&As are just a product of shitty schools where people just skip to Q&A to skim information for a writing assignment, so that's what they think adult writing assignments are like.

It seems like the Q&A sections make it easier for the media to get quotes and set the framing for how they want to spin the story.
