The analysis of both posters I almost entirely agree with. OP, wonderful summation.

It's difficult to admit I see a FEW things in Rodger also in myself. In high school, a pack of annoying girls attacked me and I kicked my leg out and pushed them back. That caused some shock and got around.

I've got some anger problems.

I see some things in myself where I'm like, "Ugh... this could get ugly fast if I don't keep it in check." I have kept it in check. I'd also never commit any kind of violence against anyone, I'm not nuts.

But... there is that underlying isolation... hiding behind a keyboard... feeling like I've got it all figured out "and they're all stupid"...

Those are themes this guy's life represented.

But... am I a broken failure, or a victim? How can all this be overcome within a system that itself is diseased and poisonous?

Don't adapt to the sick culture -- leave it. OR, get loud and try to help, try to bring awareness in a positive way, speak with clarity, and know what you're talking about. Blake Sawyer has a good podcost / site for all that. Look him up.
