    I’m no expert but it may have something to do with that swastika carved in his forehead.

    And the fact that he’s nuts.

    Well the swastika is part of it. The other part may have to do with the fact that he doesn’t perceive the need to reform himself.

    It’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect.
