I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought this was Brian talking about himself. Like, just an angry song to himself or something.
Like the angry part says all the hateful shit, but he's rationalizing it with like... he didn't mean it. Inner turmoil and all that. And the "slackerbitch, faghag, etc." is what echoes in his brain- the things people might have called him in his life.
I don't know, it just always came across angsty like that to me.

Anyway, I fucking love this song... Placebo <3
I think you're right. Most of Placebo's songs are about Brian himself from the point of view of somebody else, like Commercial for Levi.
