It’s not even doublethink. These are people have no ability for internal logic.

It's not so much no internal logic - there is a logic. But they have no internal consistency, no capacity for self-inspection, and are intensely jealous of others, so there's no rumors to follow for others to be able to easily comprehend the truth of it. Everything is relative and shifting - they just keep mentally pulling themselves up on to the nearest pad of sand, and when it begins to turn to quicksand below them, they jump again. This is why try in to have a discussion with them is so infuriating.

Still, it's definitely a logic, though not one that I can follow.
