The Jedi are nothing more than the lapdogs of the Senate, serving as the enforcers of a corrupt and decadent Republic. They reside in a literal ivory tower within the heart of the capital, Coruscant, a city consumed by greed and political intrigue. Their supposed wisdom and connection to the Force are mere facades, masking their complicity in maintaining the status quo of a failing system. They mouth platitudes about peace and justice while being manipulated by the very politicians they are supposed to protect. Their arrogance and detachment from the common people make them oblivious to the true nature of the galaxy they claim to safeguard. In reality, they are more concerned with preserving their own power and prestige than with genuinely serving the greater good.

And Anakin did bring balance to the Force by destroying the Jedi
Yeah, they definitely don't come off as apolitical monks seeking enlightenment. Maybe Yoda...
Certainly arrogant and a little too aware and appreciative of their own power and what it could get them.
Source: Outside of ESB and Rogue One, I'm not much of a Star Wars fan.
Anakin brought balance to the force by slaughtering all of the Jedi.
Before, thousands of Jedi, like 4(?) sith.
After, 2 Jedi, 2 sith. Perfectly balanced.
Theyβre a cabal of pedophiles. And also what you said and they took Anakin because of that but usually take all kinds of kids under the guise of training them. CTH talked about this on and off throughout their 3 riff tracks for the movies.
Empire did nothing wrong
