Is there a name for this phenomenon? I've taken to calling it "the nihilist's excuse"

In game theory, prisoner’s dilemma or maybe stag hunt?

Similar to false dichotomy. "If we won't do it, <other evil guy> will".

		It doesn’t have to be genuine concern, it may just be his internal narrative. He allegedly raped his own sister. No charges have been brought against him.
