It's common method that doesn't get quite the effort you'ver put into it her. You can tell that his harsh origin and paternal instincts over time extend to all of mutant kind, and how that eventually prevents him from seeing Charles' point of view for what it is. It reminds me of the quote in First Class "I've been at the mercy of men 'following orders,' no more."

That is actually a important topic in Ethics. We as humans tend to have a lot of universal agreement about basic moral ideas. No one wants to be "bad," that want to be "good," and good entails some concept of fairness, compassion, etc, which we all share. Magneto's compass has been damaged by the cruel treatment he (and mutants in general) endures from humans.
