Only a Sith deals in Absolutes

Woke up from a nightmare this morning with this movie quote running through my head so I searched and came up with this.
"The Sith deals with only their perception and discount all others.
If you aren't Sith You're weak and deserve to die.
Don't believe what the Sith is saying? You're weak and stupid and deserve to die.
Don't agree with the Sith? You must be against him and deserve to die.
The Sith is a selfish, egotistical path that believes in false dichotomy and that whatever is not in line with the Sith's plans is against them.
Notice Vader choking Padme. It couldn't be a third explanation for why she was on Mustafar, it couldn't be love and concern for what he was becoming, she must have tricked him and plotted with Obi-wan. The Jedi by not following Anakin's emotional needs must have been plotting and corrupt and needed to be destroyed."
I thought it was freaking hilarious. I was married to a Sith.

I forgot where I read it but more than one analyst has said that the character of Anakin Skywalker has signs of BPD. He does terrible things and blames everything on his victims. His betrayals and killing helpless people are all caused by someone else in his way of thinking. Not his warped and negative emotion driven thinking.
I remember at the end of ROTS when he wanted Mace (Samuel L Jackson) to arrest Palpatine (the emperor) instead of killing him. That's fine but Anakin had killed a helpless Count Dooku earlier in the movie without trial. His actions are always justifiable and but someone else can't do the same thing. That's wrong right? I've seem the same behavior in my ex. I don't know if it was just how the characters was written or the directing but it's a classic example.
