I haven't read enough broken English to take a gander at what the native language is for the authors of that...manifesto. Anyone have a good guess? There's some pretty common mistakes throughout ("peoples" for people, "Americans' having" for "Americans have").

It's likely to have been run through an author obfuscation tool which mangles the language to avoid stylometry detection.
I hadn't thought of that. Interesting.
There's plenty of omitted articles (which is indicative of Slavic language speakers,) but at one point it devolves into a kind of caveman speak, so it's likely intentional.
Most likely an American trying to write in an Eastern European accent.
Yeah, it's so over the top that it reads like a native English speaker's intentional obfuscation.
I immediately thought of the "Opulence, I has it" commercials from DirecTV.
this. and probably an american that had not lived outside the US long enough to notice how over the top the effort comes off as.
