Like why the fuck are you telling me this with no lead-up or actual reason? He been doing it my whole life like damn STFU we get it youre the most righteous and Christian mf around. Shit drive me crazy.

Like when the Republic spun back on the barely spacefarring Sith after Naga Sadow's Coruscant's attack flopped, they obliterated them. Shit was famine, mass suicides, civil conflicts, destruction of civilization, mass exoduses, loss of home planets, genocide etc. Lets be fr, the Republic did too much.

That brutalization and victimization is what birthed the Sith Empire and Sith Order as we know it.

If you a traumatized Sith Pureblood on Emperor Vitiate's fucked up fleet floating in space for 20 years after your whole family was maimed/killed when you was like nine, I'm sure that peace is a lie.

Tbh, the Sith Order of that era really seems more like a trauma response of a people who were victimized.

This societal PTSD is why the Sith Empire never had rebellions, like is you gon rebel to join the people who fucked your shit up? probably not.

Meanwhile, Sidious is to the citizens of the Galactic Empire what the Jedi and Republic were to the Purebloods. He's doing all the shit that the Sith experienced that led them to forming the Reconstituted Sith Empire.

Luthen Rael's monologue and the Sith Code are even similar. They both mantras of desperate and traumatized people who've been forced to give up everything in the hopes that future generations will be free from a oppressive force.

And you can be like "oh well the Jedi and Republic are good".

But imagine you a Sith Pureblood kid and your mom and siblings got blasted to pieces by a Republic starship canon all over some shit you didn't even know was going on, and none of you took part in. You don't perceive the Republic as good.

So, if you Naga Sadow and you see Luthen Rael's lil rebel gang on your exile planet, you probably gonna have more solidarity with him than Sidious. Sorry to my goat, but he spiritually has very little in common with the Sith Purebloods.

He's never had to give up peace in hopes of defeating an enemy that's killed and oppressed people around him. Yeah, the Sith are Sidious' special interest but what does he have in common with their lived experiences? Nothing.

And then Sidious is gonna take his Death Star to Naga Sadow's planet like dawg. That shit had to put him on every Pre-Bane Sith's shit list bc how tf you gon try to destroy the planet where Big OG Lord Sadow is buried. It's bad enough he in the daddy issue cult and not the real Sith Order lmao

My take away is that a component of the Abrahamic religions is to inflate ego of your physical self so you never embody your Divine Self.

These religions promise you the cognitive permission to dominate everyone and never have to acknowledge that everything and everyone also embodies the Divine Self.

I don't believe the Ancient Egyptians had that shit happen to them and theres no records of it actually happening on their end. But ima say that the 12 Plagues disturbed me a lot as a kid, like why was god killing random first borns?

Shit was fucked up, and I didn't fully understand why we were celebrating that when I was a kid.

Granted, I was one of those "ancient Egypt kids" growing up. My parents was super Christian so I couldn't learn about it as much as I wanted to but I did all I could. Their art had me shook as a kid like I was tryna draw like them. Their whole civilization was really intriguing to me, like I used to watch shit about them on the history channel

Honestly, my Ancient Egypt phase happened right around the time I learned about the Sith Purebloods and it's possible that I just transferred my interest in ancient Egypt onto them.

The thing about having Christian parents who homeschool you in elementary school is that they really do control what you can and can't learn.

I remember wanting to watch a history channel documentary about the ancient Israelites and ancient Egypt and my dad wouldnt let me bc it "wouldnt be biblical and accurate".

And I can remember how confused and lowkey frustrated I was, bc like everything else Ive watched on the history channel was true as it could've been for the time so why wouldn't that be?

Honestly, I think the suppression of information is what formed cracks for me with being a Christian. It's why as soon as I was old enough to have my own opinions, I left. Bc imo it felt like nobody gave a fuck about truth and it was all just "us vs them".
