Even for people who supposedly know their secret ("They're spies and assassins disguised as diplomats and translators") They don't get it They don't really work for you

Flashback to HK-47's humorous backstory in KotOR 1 and how every job he took always dissolved into general havoc and chaos, and every master he had after Revan ended up dying a horrific death

The terrible truth that the HKs exist to further the Dark Side itself More conflict and chaos is more opportunities for the strong to exert their will on the weak, for the weak to be crushed and the strong to grow stronger, until eventually strength is all that remains

And the terrible truth behind that is that, even though with Revan gone the 50s act like independent mercenaries, and G0-T0 tried to incompetently co-opt them as Revan's inferior successor, the HK-50s long ago decided "the strong" meant only themselves

This is both really dark and cool Cerebus Syndrome for what was just a black comedy joke in KotOR 1 and then wraps around to being that again in with the HK Factory plot

HK-47 goes off on a quest to destroy the HK Factory and shut down the HK-50s because he was very proud of being an avatar of pointless violence and this philosophical horseshit about pointless violence actually having a point confuses and infuriates him

Having a Master Plan and a political philosophy and seeking to be the ruler and make the decisions is all stuff for organics It is a disgrace to your nature as a machine It is major cringe

(G0-T0 and HK-47, it turns out, know each other from back in the day and HK fucking loathes G0-T0 and everything he stands for)

It's like the stuff actual edgelord Nietzscheans say about how actual fascism and Nazism are a debased and corrupted version of Nietzsche's philosophy

Someone who actually rose above petty venal human drives wouldn't care so much about the material victories fascists cling to so tightly Someone who actually stood apart and aloof from society's judgments wouldn't be so obsessed with popularity and winning fights

If you were actually an Ubermensch you wouldn't care about any of this shit Winning elections, winning wars, politics, PR, shiny crisp dress uniforms, screaming about taking down the lying media like what other people think deeply hurts you All cringe af
