That must be a bit he's running, right? Claiming to adhere/enjoy one or two of those things he's listed, that's plausible. But claiming, or celebrating, all of those traits, that must be a bit.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir
"Good news! We have a delivery." Professor Farnsworth

He's been doing it long enough that I don't think it's a bit.
If you go on sites like Less Wrong there is a delight among subcultures in taking a premise and following it all the way to its conclusion, regardless of how counter-intuitive. People who do that think they are being groundbreaking and revolutionary. They actually like it when their statements become more shocking, because they equate "shock" with taking people out of the presumptive haze of everyday sheeple training. You can see that in Flag. He likes it when we are disgusted by his prattle because he thinks that means he's challenging our programming.
That is how a cult gets people to truly believe prima facie ridiculous things. It all leads back to vanity: if I'm breaking your norm that must mean I am Zarathustra, seeing beyond you. It's adolescent thinking, perfectly understandable and a necessary phase when you are 14 -- deeply sad and pathetic when you are 34.
c.f. incels, anarchists, von Miseans, Randians, Marxists, supremacists of all stripes, Scientologists, Zulu Nation, InfoWars, about a million (maybe every) religions.
Murray Rothbard wrote in defense of his brand of libertarian hokum that it does not matter if empirical data refutes his claims because his claims follow logically from irrefutable axioms, therefore the data has to be irrelevant or wrong. That unfalsifiability is the trademark of the pseudo-intellectual snake oil salesman: what he sells his followers is the appeal to their vanity that They Alone Follow The Difficult And Thankless Way.
These are people who have literally receded into their rationalist fantasies and are unreachable by real life. They live in their theoretical projection of reality. They don't just mistake the map for the territory, they glory in it. In short, they're willing mental and moral castrati who preen that their self-mutilation is Enlightenment.
At the end of the day don’t really care to think about it, but it seemed to imply some sort of THING that happens to the THING....
Ugh no. Involuntary celibate. Simply means they are a loser who can't get laid. Raping a kid is EXACTLY how someone that can't find anyone willing would go about it.

Really?
That’s it?
Has to be more than that to it
a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

Michigan just passed the repeal of its prevailing wage law for public works projects, cutting off a ballot initiative. Even better, they gaveled through making it effective immediately by consensus.
