I don’t even think he’s an asshole, honestly. He just has no filter against stupidity.

Hard agree. I used to think he was just strictly a dick, but his introspection and growth shows he’s really honestly been thinking about things with as much empathy as he can muster.

Tbh that’s probably a big part of why I think his head on straight, because I’m kinda the same way in that regard

And the fact he can get away with it is what I love about the guy. He isn’t afraid to confront the hard truths we all are thinking about.

That’s a good point I think but I’d argue that’s kinda a recipe for an asshole. Especially if you think you’re always right and everyone else is stupid. Not that I think that’s really the case with burr (I mean he can definitely be a bit of an ass sometimes but who isn’t) and I don’t have much of a problem with him at all but I think you’re description kinda only makes a person conditionally not an asshole 😄
