>>98165722Siths prefer having control over others rather than prioritizing their personal freedom, though ultimately that freedom becomes a given once their end games are fulfilled and they achieve the absolute power necessary to sidestep through all the bureaucratic fuckery they perpetuate once it becomes truly beneath them. But that almost never happens unless they're level 90 keikakumancers like Sheev.
Although, that's really the fundamental flaw with both the Jedi and the Sith; both want to install themselves in power to utilize every resource possible to ensure the other is exterminated, but that's completely contrary to what defines both ideologies. Jedis use their power to "serve" the galaxy, but ultimately do little more than push their own Anti-Sith agendas first and foremost while never really benefiting from their elite social status themselves. And the Sith, they want to revel in uninhibited passion and ambition - but to do that they feel everyone else must be completely subservient to them first, or else moralfags like Luke and his rebel friends could resuscitate the Jedi Order and pose a serious threat to them. Neither one ever considers for a second that they would be infinitely more successful if they weren't such assholes, they're each truly enemies of the other's making.
