I think the inherent pressures that pushed people towards anonymity and the struggle to maintain it also work to pent up these kinds of frustrations. The new world we live in, the age of information, and mass communication, have especially solidified and rapidized the process; what means we might have had to communicate these struggles and have these conversations with our peers has been clamped down ever so increasingly, with little leeway or outlets to communicate apart from the ever-present bureaucracies that hinge on the commodities of time and people. Impatience grows in a fast-moving culture under a society that hasn't caught up to the times. People want meaningful change now, and the Internet's coupled with this culture's tendency to feed into instant gratification loops hasn't helped in the slightest.It seems to me that people that don't understand his motivations are lacking part of their identity.
The attack was identitarian in nature. The part of identity that used to be part of the motivation used to get people to fight for kings and queens. This identity has been suppressed. So there'll be people with a hole in their identity. They'll say, I'm male or I'm female, they'll say, I'm a university student or a construction worker, but they won't say I'm white, I'm of european descent. You turn on the tv and people are actively ashamed of being white. Or German. Or what have you. It's a suppressed part of identity and really that kind of suppression never has good consequences, because the pressure will build without a release valve.
