Yup, I do think it's interesting that he attacks inanimate objects, not people. I don't think the movie made it entirely clear what's going on with him, beyond that he's super conflicted about, oh, everything and idolizes Anakin/Vader. Or rather, idolizes what he thinks Anakin/Vader was like.
I'm both curious and very puzzled as to what his start of darkness was. Like, Palpatine manipulated Anakin to the Dark Side by taking advantage of his anger, his need for control, and his desire to protect the people he loves. What, exactly, did Snoke grab onto in Kylo Ren? Fear that he can't live up to his family? But how did that get pasted onto Vader???
And, like, his confrontation with Han - which should've given us more insight - kind of just confused things more. It's like he thinks he has to be on the path he's on. Did Snoke either get him to do something terrible or make him believe he had? Fool him into believing he can only have Dark Side power? I just...something's really weird there.
As for Snoke, one thing potentially in favor of him being a Wizard of Oz deal is that he seems way more uncanny valley than the other CGI people in the movie. Yes, he's also a hologram, but...
