I hear echos of my friends' stories in that kid. The author exhibits a pattern of somebody doubling down on a wrong idea in the face of increasing attempts to correct them. Eventually it devolves into conspiratorial thinking that writes off everybody else that disagrees with them. In a weird way the author is unconsciously lucid about their own problem.

Also, browsing through the rest of the blog, the author seems to be deep in the "incel" social darwinism rabbit hole, which explains why they have so much difficulty to shoe-horn everything into their world view to the point of contradicting themselves within the same sentence. The entire article (or entire blog even) could be used as a case study of severe cognitive dissonance due being trapped by one's own dogmatic ideology.
