I think you missed the point here. This shooter had no opportunities prested to him. He wasn't smart enough or connected enough to ever be comfortable, let alone actually do something noteworthy. Being on the news for a day or two is the only "fantasy" he could possibly achieve. It not about causing a sea-change, it's just about getting noticed.

He wasn't born a monster, but violence was the only obvious route to having any impact on his surroundings.

American society loves guns and hates helping poor people, this is what we get.

Maybe he was just angry, too. Maybe he just wanted to express that anger and be heard for once.
