He is definitely having a crisis with his identity lately. I read an interview the other day were he points out that it is easier to work with boris because a member is vegan. I don't know why that would dictate an easier work relationship
I don't think this kind of moral or ethical dilemma is all that uncommon, especially as people get older. That's not to say it doesn't come down to emotions and irrational conclusions or reactions though. Not making excuses for anyone. I see this kind of thing in religious people rather frequently. They struggle with doctrine (peace, kindness, non-judgment, etc) vs hate and judgment (aggression, violence). Nothing new to our history. The biggest warbangers are religious people. I see that struggle of wanting to surround themselves with other like-minded people. After all, if you feel you're in moral agreement, you can feel comfortable and trusting, but really, in my opinion, it's a laziness. A cognitive and moral laziness. Social interaction is work and effort, like any relationship, and if you can reduce the amount of consideration and effort to understand another point of view, you can place that energy elsewhere. I don't know where that "elsewhere" is, but anywhere else but towards other people? I haven't given this a ton of thought, but it almost always strikes me as someone basically saying that "I'm too lazy to bother with people different than me."
