So I was cruising the forums for SWTOR the other day, and I happened across some guy trying to say how "Strength is the only good and weakness the ultimate evil." according to the Sith. Needless to say this guy's arguments were weaker than Helen Keller's eyesight. To him, Sith warped the moral realities of what they were doing. Oh how pleased I was when this other guy jumped in with a full reply other than, "You're a stoopid n00bsauce!" This is what he had to say about it.
"If strength is good and weakness is evil, then it is evil to pursue a life that does not lead to power. Therefore, all farmers, ranchers, bakers, chefs, construction workers, shipwrights, traders, merchants, etc. are evil, since their choice of lifestyle is fundamentally evil.
In order for people to be good, all people must prioritize the acquisition of power above these productive trades. Therefore, people may only gain goods and services by force, but they may never produce goods or services. Any time spent learning how to produce is fundamentally evil since it reduces the time spent acquiring power.
In a 'good' society, you would be starving, dehydrated, naked, and shelter-less. But all of these factors lead to a reduction in your own power! Therefore, goodness is evil.
This moral philosophy is logically contradictory because it negates its own stated goal. It is hypocritical because you are completely dependent on the "weak" to sustain your own lifestyle. It is completely parasitical and would lead to the total extinction of all sentients if it were universally accepted."
