Reality has a radical bias so you can't really rely too heavily on it to argue for reactionary ideas. Instead they construct elaborate thought experiments and try to reason themselves into the position they want to arrive at from first principles. Being disingenuous jackasses that reasoning always ends up being deceptive and irrational.
Good point, a lot of the most hardcore "true believers" in this stuff are extremely good at rationalising their own shitty behaviour and making themselves feel like they've "figured it out" when all they really did was find a bunch of vaguely intelligent sounding excuses.
