He was most likely twisted up with rage and hate before he found those groups. They probably acted as a safety fuse for a while but they also legitimized his rage and hatred.

One excuse would have been good as any other for someone like this. He could have converted to a rabid antiabortion group or to radical, fundy Islam. All would have served him as well as those MRA/PUA groups did.

It should be pointed out is that most of his victims were men. That suggests his rage was only directed at women verbally. Otherwise, it was just a random and lethal expression of rage against the whole world.

it's almost too bad he was shot dead. He would have provided a lot of information to FBI psychiatrists about these juvenile bundles of rabid rage.
