They think this IS their business. I say that not to excuse or justify them. But we can’t appeal to their “better natures,” because they think they’re in the right, that we are all not merely wrong but evil. That leaves us no room to convince them otherwise, because anything we might say is inherently vile deceit - their own chosen information sources have long ago convinced them that everyone else is lying.

So we simply have to beat them. Identify them, prosecute them as criminals (not as enemies nor POWs), and lock them away. Or, when they make it necessary in the moment of their violence, our police forces need to kill them.
