"we are in fact superior"

Roof was superior to nobody, from what I gather he was a junkie who liked to crack racist 'jokes' when he was younger then his drug habit got too costly to pay for, and he came to realize that the people he made fun of now were happy and were living their lives and he was, quite simply, a loser.

Sometimes the answer to when one feels cognitive dissonance is violence. Rarely is it terrorism.
