Think about it.
He's a guy objectively wrong about how global warming...err, a supernova destroyed his home planet and immediately defaults to what Romulan propaganda said about Spock and the Federation as using it to conduct a false flag operation against his homeworld.
So he decides to seek completely unwarranted "vengeance."
It's all a motivation that is 100% wrong and a working class guy goes on a shooting spree.
Perhaps not a deliberate parallel but I always liked the fact that the villain is not one of the big epic Senator or mad scientist types.
