I can agree with this.
@CM_Burns
What I find interesting is how this dude was classist and extremely entrenched in materialism and "things", shallowness. he equated materialistic things to being able to get what he wanted and having a better life but then claimed:
"Social classes are evil, and lead to tragedies such as this. Humanity needs to unite as equals."
This dude grew up apart of the rich, privileged "American Dream". Yet he hated on those he felt were spoiled.
I think this comes from the idea he felt robbed by the same American dream he was brought up in "bought into" or was taught.. hence, the entitlement. he resented it and spoiled people because he felt cheated and tricked by it himself.
The same people who say things like "this dude was rich, had a BMW! Wasn't really ugly. He had everything! He coulda gotten laid, easily" Don't even realize they are playing into the same things.
I think that reddit poster, pointed out something interesting with these deranged killers that could be related, who happen to have such an interest in WoW
"IMHO, the mechanic of grinding/questing toward achievements is a comforting one to people who have a limited frustration tolerance. The great advantage of WoW and RPG's have a fairly linear growth structure: Do X to Get Y. As jokes like
/r/Outside show, reality has no such linear structure: you Do X, you may not Get Y, but instead Get Z or Get Nothing."
His entire line of thinking was because he has X, he will get Y. The entitlement to Y because he played by the X rules but felt robbed of Y. The achievement of having X.
This guy felt he was playing by the rules he interpreted that would lead him to happiness, feeling accepted and loved by having the "if I have __ I will achieve __" and it never happened and he felt robbed. But he was still entrenched in materialism, objects and things that represent a higher social class as it seems he knew no other way to define himself, yet it tore him up inside. He put those things on a pedestal to what he perceived would achieve his goal of feeling loved and adored but he had no empathy towards human beings.
That says a lot.
also, I think it's worth noting how his mom bought him a lot of shyt, and his parents didn't seem too exactly involved or attentive towards him. He wanted his mom to marry a richer guy, and claimed it would make his life better. When he was upset, his mom bought him a BMW thinking it would make things better for him. he felt his last hope was winning millions of dollars on the lottery and that would rid him off his women problems.
