RedDwarfRedDwarf : Engage in a profound discussion of ideals. While looting the place



Sure tempting. But you don't have a ton of time. And there's only one thing you're here for.


HeadOfPersonnelHeadOfPersonnel: Explain what you mean.
RedDwarfRedDwarf: If you live through this, read the damn manifesto. Try to treat people with some common goddamn decency.


The Unofficial Company Protocol Guide has this to say on the topic of the motivations for the Redshift Bombing.

A manifesto was released immediately after the attack, through automated broadcast by a nearby communications buoy, explaining the ideological motivations of the terrorists. It's generally considered to be over two hundred thousand words of "crank" ideology. It devolves, over the course of its length, into personal disputes with, and hatred towards, specific historical figures. Individual chapters or groups of chapters are dedicated to personal, high-intensity judgments towards Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, Adam Smith, Ronald Reagan, Milton Friedman, and even Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero, who is criticized by the manifesto from birth to death for six chapters, and frequently referenced and insulted throughout the entire work.

The beliefs it enumerates, now referred to as "egregorism", have been refuted by the academic consensus of economists as a conspiracy theory. The Galactic Prosperous Traditions Foundation determined that it is "ideology produced exclusively by mental illness", and the Core Worlds Commerce Institute criticized it as "espousing a cultural equivalent of race-war rhetoric". The Unofficial Company Protocol Guide provides the introductory preface of the manifesto here in order to encourage employees to criticize it themselves, and strongly discourages any employee from similar thought patterns.
