I imagine there was extreme anxiety, depression, and/or other mental trauma or illness in conjuncture with this that drove them over the edge. This country literally can drive anyone with a conscious insane if they actually see the truth of it. It's tragic.
It probably was worse because he knew that he was complicit in it.
And given they'd apparently posted at least one anarchist-leaning thing, they perhaps imagined this action would drive others to action instead of the boring and less flashy work of coalition building, protests, slow class education, etc. Don't get me wrong, if one is depressed enough to die anyways and can't be convinced otherwise, going out this way is a bit better than shooting yourself in a dark room and certainly takes more courage though it is an act of despair and one born not of hope or genuinely revolutionary activism but desperation, pain, hopelessness, frustration.
