TheImp did not invent fucking antifeminism nor did he invent the concept that women in general are unfit for certain roles in society. Pretty much everyone on here believes these two things and have since before TheImp opened his mouth, stop feeding his ego.
He's a crazy man. The fact that he sometimes gibbers things that are true does not make him representative of anything. This is particularly apparent if you stop to listen to the rest of his gibbering.
I'm not even so sure that paranoia drives him as much as it seems. I can tell that he takes social media far too seriously and derives some genuine validation from feeling like people are agreeing with him on it. As such the focus must be on wamen at all times.
He's also a dedicated market liberal and from the sounds of things, has been for a long time. He firmly believes in the liberal ideal man, one lacking binding commitments and presented with near infinite outlets for self-expression provided by the free market. They struggle with the cognitive dissonance of believing in the liberating power of markets and then seeing basically every company in the Western world becoming pozzed to all hell and the false promise of liberation rendered a distant dream. I went through that myself as a former libertarian, but I guess it contributes to an existential crisis for some people.
When the liberation never comes, and the markets only have homogeneous girl power sludge for sale, rather than acknowledge that he had been hoodwinked by an illusory set of ideas that are not the truth but a product of institutions and individuals with self-interested reasons for propagating them, he instead externalizes the contradiction onto others. "I could have the liberation I was promised if it weren't for those parasitic women and children!"
The liberalism he believes in is, of course, never to blame. He clings to it with a death grip even as it destroys him and everything he holds dear.
You're the psychiatrist so what do you think of my arm-chair efforts? LOL
Oh I wasn't blaming myself, I think he was always this way and was just less angry then. Because that's what seems to be the problem, he is increasingly angry at the clown world and people's inability to see what he sees.
While he flavor of evil is "women" its not really different in manifestation than most people here's. Just others expand to Jews, The Left, the Governments, the Trannies, the Globohomo, etc. However, he is completely alone in that. Even Stormfags have each other, and the various levels of poltard.
But no MRA or other offshoot group hates women like he does. Most either want to divorce completely from them (MGTOW) or manipulate them completely (TRP), because they know you can't actually win against them completely because of biological reality.
That's why I think he is not in a rational mindset. He can barely acknowledge a lot of realities, and sees almost entirely through red lens of paranoia and anger. His ideas never have ends that are remotely feasible, and his arguments can never hold themselves together. Its running off pure emotion.

Never forget he was a hardcore Epic Games shill for a long time, until the most innocuous thing (that Fortnite event) was what changed his mind. None of their actual market evils or lies, just women.
I'll admit I haven't interacted much with him on economic discussions and am not incredibly versed on them myself, so I'll actually take your word on that part because it does make sense based on what I do know.
Also I'm a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. One attempts to help through understanding and dealing with problems (in theory), the other just throws pills at people and ruins their lives worse. Though he probably could use some form of anti-mania drug to calm him down.

We're more different than we seem at first glance. It's not merely competing harmatiologies. If you look at what I said above about the liberated man and lacking binding commitments, that clashes with nationalism which demands a degree of conformity to a national identity, even if it's not a racialist view of nationalism. It is this contradiction between liberalism and nationalism that will continue to bring "right-wing" liberals into conflict with the illiberal dissident right even as some insist on trying to have some sort of unified front against "wokeness."

There are incels. I know he isn't one, but he would fit in with them. I think he's too proud to roll with them, though.
I don't think he's a shill. He just derives an unhealthy validation from getting people to agree with him about wamen, and things the ADL offer..alternative explanations to wamen being the root of all evil.

Correct.

It's still the same thing, he's pushing the same mentality feminists do, just with the genders reversed.
I remember back when he was new to KIA2 and asked me, an anti-feminist from the 90s, for perspectives on things.
Boy did I underestimate how insane and paranoid he would let himself become, to a point where I have to actually defend women in argument with him.
Don't blame yourself. The dude's got issues.
"One day I'll just be sitting in a near empty house with my phone in my hand and a stock ticker on my monitor because those are the last things I didn't let go of."

Yes I do, got any Dr. Thunder?
