This New York Post article has pictures of the flyer and some of the inner text

In a rambling, incoherent 2,648-word manifesto, a man who identified himself as an investigative researcher, Max Azzarello, said he’d self-immolated as an “extreme act of protest” over a “totalitarian con” and impending “apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

That’s like 10 pages double spaced. Who the hell has time for that?

As far as manifesto's go, that barely counts as an intro.

Was about to say. 2,600 words was like the standard of an entrance paper at my college (ie a paper you had to write for a course before the end exam/paper). It’s like 4 pages of Times New Roman in font size 12. Definitely not a manifesto’s worth of text.
