Failing to understand, he doubled down on his feeble attempt at humor and ridicule. Did he lack the courage for introspection? Did he lack the self discipline to live according to his own idealistic view of a better world? Perhaps he'd just become psychologically addicted to petty political bickering...

None can say. Who can see into the mind of just another random idealist on the internet. Too consumed by how he thinks the world ought to be to see how the world is. Too convinced of his own righteousness to realize no one actually cares much. It'd be funny... and is was the first few times around, but the joke gets stale and the jester doesn't realize he a clown.
