I'm aware that proud evil people exist, what I mean is most who want to gain the power Sith Lords do want to try and get people on their side, so they will obviously pretend to have merits of some kind - even psychopaths like Hitler had to convince people they were doing at least "semi-right" things.. until they gained enough power not to give a crap..

few Sith Lords think they are doing good, Palpatine may well see himself as a savior but a savior is not always "good" (in fact some crazed cultists call themselves saviors but are doing so as a mockery of the term (Manson and his "helter skelter" ideas etc) ) - he may take pride in his Empire and achivements but most would.

as for not seeing himself as evil.. sometimes evil can't understand good (especially in fiction) and geniunely evil characters just kind of exist in a "neutral" state.. neither deluding themselves into believing they are good nor particularly obsessing over being evil (or rather anti-society "norms").
