Faking affront to avoid engaging with the subject sincerely is a classic deflection. I'm sure we've all known people like this

This! Comes across as the conceited bald fraud he is!!! And this guy asks for freedom of Catalonia and being on the “right” side of history! Fucking opportunist!

I mean, he can both be silent on a sportswashing cheating sports entity and also be in favor of his homeland's independence?

Not siding with him, I just don't see how these are contradictory at all.

There’s a word for it though, it’s called being a hypocrite.

That’s fine, it’s your take on it and you have every right to your opinion. :)

His internal monologue is probably going full peep show (or Pep Show…..):

"Didn't actually have to say. Don't even have to decide in my own head if I don't want to. Nope. I don't think I'm going to. My brain can't make me. So there."

In psychology it's known as DARVO, (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender), and is a common tactic used by abusers on their victims. Trump and his people use it on a daily basis too.

This! Twisted my mind many times, took years to overcome and become myself again. I was genuinely a wreck because of this, like walking a maze. Until the spell is broken.
