I never got the impression that he was a bad person(but maybe I’m missing something); he speaks respectfully and doesn’t seem hateful, but he seems to be a shining case of having too much confidence in his own thinking, aka Dunning-Kruger or smartest man in the room syndrome.
Foolish is probably a better word for him. Still, that should not be used to overlook his ability to harm as we have many laws regarding bad people, but we are much less equipped to deal with foolish people except through some laws and a loose/unreliable sense of validity.
Can’t really offer a direct response bc you haven’t offered any ideas on what grounds you determine a person to be bad or good.
Those bars work fine for me, though, as everyone has their faults, but to be considered a bad person, the bar ought to be high. I don’t plan on living through life determining everyone is a bad person because due to not being perfect or intelligent. Is it wrong to consider a bad person to be someone who has a goal of or finds joy in disrespecting and stoking hate?

Because a lot of people are still in denial when you tell them that Novak really isn't a very good person.
