It's a satire of internet trolls. Or trolls in general, rather. These people instigate and find any way to play the victim, purely to screw with people and try to make themselves feel powerful. The usage of random categories like liberal and conservative (especially when he's insulting both, and with no real connection to anything) further backs this theory. It's pretty much exactly how the internet functions and why you should never read youtube comments. Outside of the internet, you can see this sort of behavior in sociopaths and narcissists. They feel weak and impotent, and this is their own, cowardly way to control others without being assertive. Anyway, plenty of weird psychological ways to look at it, but it's nine whole pages, so I probably shouldn't write an analytical essay on it.

The irony, of course, being that he's too stupid to see his own hypocrisy. I get the point of the comic, but the main character was just so ugly and endlessly annoying that I couldn't really appreciate the humor or anything. I wish he'd been eaten, too.
