I kinda read this as a stream of consciousness post about what happened. In that context, it's more an expression of astonishment that that actually happened than boasting or anything.

FWIW, I had something kind of similar happen to me a couple years ago. I posted an open letter [0] to a famous politician in my state, shared it on Facebook and Twitter as I do with all my posts, and went to bed. Overnight, it went viral and I woke up to an email box full of messages, tons of mentions on various social media outlets and a couple of phone calls from newspapers and TV stations wanting interviews.

The next few days were pretty crazy. More than anything, it was just a shocking experience to realize that that many people actually cared. I imagine he's had a similar experience. And, in fact, I wrote a follow up post [1] a week or so later rather similar to his.

So yeah, I just read this as a guy who's shocked that the world cared what happened to him. I wouldn't read more into it than a guy who's grateful that that many people took notice.

Kudos to you that is one heck of an argument and laid out in a way that it is impossible to refute. Scary thought: those people that function as enablers of people in power with detestable views are always ready to jump forward, no matter how dirty the deed that needs doing.
