They are deeply insecure and unfulfilled.

Why does this faggot OP hate people who read on trains? Because he's too insecure to read on a train himself. Why does OP hate blacks? Because he has a small penis and can't last long enough to animalize his wife like blacks could. Why does he hate pynchon? Because he's too retarded to understand the text. Why does he hate his mother? Because she's responsible for putting such a weak, useless pussy on the planet, and he hates himself so much that he blamed her.

How do we solve this?
