Philosophy Tendency Towards Authoritharianism

[CarlManvers2019]

Yep a globalized world where everyone can press their grievance, is the problem. The world is burning due to people locked in together who dislike one another and feel so and so stepped on them sometime in the last oh...500 years.

Its not stable and will require either an outlet like space, a total reset(collapse), or a globally enforced iron fist.

Or at times maybe being allowed to actually fight each other in controlled environments or situations

Maybe stuff like fighting each other with Martial Arts to get it out of their systems

For all that the movie dialogue was terrible, Anakin Skywalker did a good job of expressing this exact thing:

Anakin: "We need a system where the politicians sit down, decide what's in the best interest of the people, and then do it."

Padme: "That's exactly what we do. The, the trouble is that people don't always agree."

Anakin: "Then they should be made to."

Padme: "By whom, who's going to make them?"

Anakin: "I don't know...someone."

Padme: "You?"

Anakin: "Of course not me."

Padme: "But someone?"

Anakin: "Someone wise."

Padme: "Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me."

Anakin: "Well, if it works."


And for that matter, the Jedi did in fact follow a philosophy of doing what they "felt" was right and forcibly imposing it on everyone; they just did it on a mostly individual scale rather than a systematic, ideological one -- aside from the vaguely defined systematic authority that the Republic gave them, and the ideological belief that they were entitled to do this.

Yeah but Vader was totally driven by fear the whole time basically. His fear of Amidala dying was the prime driver behind his descent. I actually agree with your first point but the analogy here is weak.
