Frankly, imagining our corporate overlords to be deluded in that way is giving them too much credit.

The business model of the billionaire caste for decades has been to buy a company, loot it of everything valuable, leave what’s left to collapse and go bankrupt, use the “losses” to write off their own taxes, use the profits to buy more companies, and repeat.

The billionaire caste doesn’t give a shit if companies they own go out of business and leave all their employees jobless. They plan on doing that anyway. AI just speeds it up.

That’s arguably true, albeit a rather uncharitable interpretation of canon, but I don’t think Anakin is capable of articulating it at that point.

I mean, that’s a calm and logical argument about the flaws in the Jedi Order.

The trouble is, Anakin has gone full Sith at that point and is running off emotion - “the Jedi are evil because they treated me like shit, they killed my mother, they want to kill my wife and child, and they’re trying to overthrow and execute the one person who ever treated me like a human being”.

As bad as the dialogue in that scene is, it would be worse if Anakin stopped to debate philosophy in the middle of his rage-fueled murder attempt.
