  Orr would defend his Communist friends to his Fascist freinds and he would defend his Fascist friends to his Communist friends. No one ever defended Orr because he was too weird.

  yes this is basically what I mean

    In the book, the character was sincere. He really did try to see both sides and get along with people. It never seemed to work.

    To answer the original question; a good term would be ‘two-faced.’ Someone who pretends to be a friend and then gossips about you with others.

    ‘Wishy-washy’ is a person who simply goes along with the majority without having strong opinions of their own.

      I agree. I think ‘two-faced’ is the best i’ve seen based on OP’s various comments in the thread.
