I think he has a deeply flawed view of the world that rotates around conspiracies excluding or against him which result in him being an outsider from the rich and powerful.

When he wants people to act, he wants them to act in accordance with the world he assumes exists. Of course, people can't act that way because that world doesn't exist and so he's faced with a dilemma - it's their fault in acting or it's his fault in understanding.

He seems to see his position and path through life as proof it's not his fault and so the only option left is to be mad about everyone else.
