Yes. It's the point of the entire show. Chuck was mentally ill, obsessive and pathologically jealous, but he did understand his brother better than anyone. He knew that once Jimmy got one sliver of power he couldn't resist abusing it. The tragedy is that it was only Jimmy's respect for Chuck that ever kept him off the criminal path, respect he lost because of Chucks desperate attempts to keep Jimmy from following in his footsteps.
Was Chuck right about Jimmy all along?

Yeah, and once Jimmy managed to put himself through law school while working in a mail room, Chuck should've supported his brother. He didn't. He looked down on him and made him feel inferior because Chuck was such a god damn beta he couldn't handle that Jimmy not only managed to be more liked by practically everybody, but actually managed to get a degree in law. Even if the university was shady, it was still a massive accomplishment passing the bar. If Chuck had've embraced Jimmy, Jimmy probably would have turned his life around to some degree. But the point of his character I guess is that no matter what, he was always going to be flexible morally. Chuck certainly didn't help by being such a massive twat though.
Saying "anything Jimmy did wrong is all Chuck's fault" is true, yes, but I think it's obvious that he plays a part in it, at least later on in life.

he was not better, he just did things the wrong way, which pissed of chuck, who was super autistic but good at his job

Chuck sent Jimmy down the wrong path, denied doing so, and then pat himself on the back for trying to prevent it. He was always jealous of his brother, and his law degree and prestigious firm convinced him that he was in some way superior. But when Jimmy was able to become a lawyer, Chuck had nothing to prop up his self-image and lost his fucking mind.
Noah Thomas
yes, but he did nothing to prevent it, he was a piece of shit with no empathy
Nolan Price
You missed the entire point. Jimmy had charisma and a style of out of the box thinking that Chuck knew he could never achieve.

it was a selfling prophecy
