There is no cognitive dissonance. We think they are being honest in their stated beliefs. They aren’t, it’s a red herring. If you look at their ulterior motives and overall goal to oppress and have white elite males at the top, it’s all straightforward. At least that’s my perspective.

I think that some people speak entirely in dog-whistles so much that they have no clue any other way to think. So they burry themselves in a toxic identity that just keeps feeding back on itself and validating itself. They don’t necessarily sit around thinking how they can make a world with more white people or to hurt women, but they also don’t have an understanding of racism or wellbeing outside of dog-whistles.
