They have principles. They're very simple and straightforward:
"I am all that is just and good in this world, and any action I do is good and just, by virtue of the fact I performed them. Those who oppose my actions are, by definition, all that is evil and hostile in this world, as they seek to stop the source of ultimate goodness; myself."
"I must lie, cheat, and steal, in order to gain power, so that my Goodness can be Greater and with greater power. Once I have power, I must oppress those who would oppose my Goodness, as they are evil, since they oppose me."
If you assume they're psychopathic narcissists, their worldview principles become very clear and obvious.
