> One can't be helped if they don't want to, or don't see a reason why they would need help.

It appears to me he does see a reason why he'd need help. Some statements from his site:

> I am quite lonely

> I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me.

> I am impossible to be loved romantically

> I am largely scared of falling in love.

He appears to have significant social and self-esteem issues. He recognizes that.

I assume the lonelyness he has to deal with is the core reason for why he developed such extreme views.

Since he recognizes these issues it appears to be quite realistic for him to learn to normally engage with society again. I think he can be helped.

Now, as to how someone who's cut off from society and doesn't posess basic social skills can learn to socialize again, I don't know. Therapy perhaps, but that's a difficult step to take.
