By their logic, anything they do is good, anything you do is bad, and their goal is to have you suffering or dead, with anything resulting in such an outcome also being "good", and anything moving away from that outcome being "bad".
Once you get that, all their logical leaps, fallacies, double standards, and selective ignorances make perfect sense.
The lesser NPCs, though, and the militantly uninformed, and the aggressively ignorant, they all can be, eventually, swayed using a "by your logic" argument- Wait, no, not by the argument, only by the actual real concequences of it. They won't be swayed by a "nuh uh, because then this group would also be prosecuted!", they'll only be swayed by the actual prosecution. They do not hear, they only see.
