So many of the quotes feel like pure projection. The guy makes up little fantasies about everyone he spied on, even assuming his tales are true, he certainly doesn't interview them afterward to see if he guessed right or was way off. For every fact there's a lot more deep ruminating that would be more at home in LiveJournal than a sociology study, but it was his journal, so I can't really fault him for that. If it's true, it's an interesting peek into his mind, and confirmation of some public vs private social mores, but all the pontification on society and morality and futility is just so much old man yelling at clouds.
