Yes, I get it. Does AB do some not so smart things sometimes? Sure, we all do. AB has his reasons for doing some of the things he does, he has that right. Just like you have a right to call him a douche and a dickhead. In his mind, his actions are justified, just as yours are justified in your mind.
Neither one of you are right because neither one of you are wrong. You can't call AB wrong subjectively. You can only do it objectively from your perspective which is outside of his. You are on the outside looking in and have no idea of what his thoughts are and you project automatically (everyone does this) what you would do in that situation, which is why you think his actions are wrong. Just because you would do something different it doesn't make him wrong. He is probably more frustrated at all of this than you are. The difference between you and him is he is one person defending himself to millions, and you are one of millions ridiculing him for something you really don't know anything about. He cannot win. Publicly calling him a douche isn't going to help him at all and is just volleying forward that negativity and nobody needs that.
And we all do that from time to time. I understand. I get it because I do it sometimes too. I just did it with you.
His generation is different from yours. His upbringing is different from yours. His perspective of life is different from yours. His is not better just as yours is not better. They are only different.
It is much easier to adjust your thinking to your environment than to expect your environment to adjust to your thinking.
I do apologize to you as well.
