As someone else on the left it's pretty eye opening just to read some of the questions.
Would you take a punch if someone you hated took two punches?
Would you go to hell if you could ensure your rivals ended up there with you?
Jesus. Who goes through life collecting people they hate this much? Maybe I've been lucky but I don't have any rivals that I'd want to see with anything more serious than a papercut or mild social embarrassment.
Likewise. I am definitely on the Light Side of the Force and have done well. While I would say it cost me earlier in my career, the reputation and quality benefits that have accrued through life were more than worth the early struggle. I just really do try to do /good/ to people as it's broadly defined on a "typical" issue.
TBH, nobody really likes working with such jerks, you might not realize that they also don't get ahead in their careers more often than not. I'm fairly certain most highly dark people are in prison, especially the spiteful.
The sad part of the story is people often cognitive dissonance themselves about the bad they do in the world, or make it abstract because most people don't like to be the bad guy of their personal story and might score as being a fairly light person, even if they do harm.
