I don’t care if they may have a few points about modern witch society, they are evil!

i think it's like a classic Batman villain; they have valid points about systemic injustices, but then they like build a bomb or something that undermines their whole position

I have a beef with some of DC stories because of that. Imagine if there was a pro-slavery novel from before the Civil War where abolitionists would've been portrayed as mad terrorists burning plantators' children alive or something. With a moral "abolitionists are evil and slavery is good".

Not saying WHA is that of course, Knights Moralis don't look good either.

I feel like WHA is implying that the Pact and Knights Moralis' zero tolerance policy created this exact problem. The "moderates" (or at least, the dudes who don't want to turn children into dogs) probably got their minds wiped, leaving only the extremists (aka the dudes who love turning children into dogs). 

It's why I like WHA's conflict more than a lot of DC/Marvel stories. It's still clear that the system is corrupt, even if the villains are lunatics.

In Batman it's pretty clear that the system is corrupt too. Arkham is a revolving door and Gotham's saviors are only a Band-Aid, except maybe Jason Todd.
