Let’s not forget that Taro secured Ardaic’s loyalty by threatening personally, only giving him the “defend the people you always defended” line as a rationalization he would accept (chapter 45, p. 12)

In my experience, and I have bashed a lot of online fash, the only thing that ever brings one of those suckers back to reality is pushing them over the edge.
Once the cognitive dissonance hits critical levels, they either lose it completely, and double down on “Yes, evil is good”, or they go through a crisis and snap out of it.

But don’t their victims deserve that time and effort more, when the resources are limited?
