I think this jealous mindset also explains why he’s become a fan of anarchy. Not only does he think he’ll get the toys, but he’ll get them from other people. He’ll be the one with a gun and he’ll take the money other people have earned by force. Fuck you, people who didn’t waste their lives!Along with being lazy, stupid, and entitled, Phil is also incredibly jealous. He's jealous of anyone who has more than him and thinks it's unfair that he can't have it too. Phil is jealous of CWC because Chris gets a bigger Tugboat, is more disabled, gets help from people (including the people mocking him), and is well-liked despite being a lolcow. Phil is jealous of anyone who has power and authority because he himself is powerless and weak. He's jealous of people who own guns, partly because Phil has no power and partly because he is too poor to afford them. Phil is jealous of anyone who has more money than him because they have the autonomy to buy and do whatever they want. Phil is jealous of anyone who has friends or people who pay attention to them because Phil has virtually nobody and no one cares about what he says or thinks.
Jealousy is one of the primary driving forces in Phil's life. And I think the biggest reason for all this jealousy from Phil is because some part of him realizes that normal people can own the things they want, do what they like, and go wherever they wish and he can't because he isn't normal. Seeing normal people having more than him is a constant reminder of his abnormality.
I think jealousy and entitlement are why Phil foolishly believes that if Communism replaced Capitalism in the US, then suddenly Phil could have and do whatever he wants without working for it and would finally be on equal footing with normal people. In his mind Communism would mean Phil can finally be a member of the power elite with authority and influence, and his every little desire fulfilled. I don't know why he thinks he'd suddenly be part of the power elite or why he believes he will get everything he wants without working for it under Communism, but he genuinely does. I would love to see him try to explain why Communism = get all the toys and have all the power, because I'm sure his reasons are hilariously incorrect and irrational.
In his fantasy world, no one else has guns or can use them better than him.
