I mean... yeah he's right but he's made too long of a history for himself of being a fucking douche for me to really be able to acknowledge that without pulling a "broken clocks" routine. And that's really his own fault.

You're right he's not a Fash, but you really can't make that argument to most people now because he's acted like enough of an ass that it doesn't matter, he's in the "asshole zone". He's beyond the point that injecting nuance to criticisms of him is really worth it. He's smart sometimes but otherwise he's far to far gone.
