Interesting commentary and creature!

It seems quite different to our (Eurasian) badgers and I notice Wikipedia says the honey badger is most closely related to martens.

As for not giving a shit, I wonder whether that is a weasel family thing? While she'd obviously have more to be concerned about than that thing, I've noticed little seems to bother our ferret. You can for example throw a blanket over her and she'll wriggle out, probably do a war dance, and resume whatever mischief she was up to before.
