First of all, I am sorry about your brother. Those situations are always difficult. But where is the truth in this scenario? Your parents and you have to take care of him, setting boundaries and making complex decisions for him. That is something good. He is not stressed, he knows what to expect, and that is kind and honest.
I was thinking more about general scenarios, for example:
1) Religious fanatics who yell and do nasty things because they disagree with you, or just because your religion has a slightly different flavor. Those are subjective truths, but people can be very unkind about them.
2) An engineer who has seen it all, done it all, been everywhere twice, and insists it is either his way or nothing at all. A person who lacks the patience and skill to explain his way but still demands it. He might even be objectively right, but nobody would want to work with him and the amount of friction he would create will result in net negative for the employer.
As I was saying only very few people can get away with being an asshole because their are right.
But now we are really getting to the ancient debate of content vs. form.
