    The Sith and the Empire didn’t help anyone either though, they made existence considerably worse for everyone other than a select few. They weren’t saviours or good guys, they were evil despots who sought to use lies to overthrow the existing power structure so they could fill the void with their totalitarianism.

      What this meme is pointing out though is that they didn’t just use lies to overthrow the existing power structure, they also used truths.

        Any complex truth can be twisted when it is overly simplified and points are selectively chosen to support the bigger lie.

          Yeah the Sith here are the type of fascist regime to rise to power on the backs of a frustrated population. Pointing out all the flaws of the current system to garner support with no intention of actually making it better.
