This is what I think is the best and most likely.

The dude has been on this quest for centuries, conquered countless planets and engaged in an endless amount of battles. You don't think people have told him the obvious arguments against the snap before? He's the Mad Titan. He's delusional and plagued by the idea that he so strongly knows in his mind would've worked on his dead world.

The meme says how he's complex and not 2-dimensional but this idea is naive and 2-dimensional. Dicators and terrorists (including those who geniunely believe their evil acts are righteous which is many of them) don't get Talk No Jutsu'd. Just like Steve Rogers never compromises on his ideals, neither does Thanos. That's where the complexity comes in. You have 2 sides who believe what they are doing is justice and will never be convinced otherwise. As such, war is the only other option. It's the scary, unpleasant reality of conflict. Thanos is equally as certain he's in the right as Captain America is. From his perspective, he is the hero. When the heroes try to talk him down, he takes that as seriously as the heroes do when a villain gives an evil speech to try and get them on his side.
