My favorite part is how Chris was completely willing to admit to crimes. In his Gamestop defense he admits to doing it, going in there against their wishes, vandalizing merch at different stores...
Chris was very close to some clarity during that time. That people who pretended to care about him were simply trolls, and that trying to force people to bend to his will had nothing but bad outcomes. He was right on the tipping point of an epiphany but instead he retreated into LaLa Land and now is infested with trolls and believes he controls reality itself.
Big X for doubt about that almost-epiphany.
His Facebook message speaks for itself: “Yes, I did this and this wrong, but it’s not my fault, it was da twolls and Sega’s Fault!”
That’s not the words of someone about to have a life changing revelation. Those are the words of someone forever finding excuses and fleeing blame.
Two really big things stood in the way of an epiphany that you’re describing.
1: Chris’s ego. Chris has always thought he was special, and has been brought up by Barb’s paranoid narcissism. Blame and fault is with everyone else.
2: Chris is fucking stupid. He has zero ability to do abstract thinking. As in: “I wonder why people treat me this way?”
And both of the above are necessary to have the kind of epiphany, that could make someone change their behavior.
