here's the deal, upon becoming a Sith all delusions are pretty much lost (with some rare exceptions) - the whole creed of the Sith is "being evil", remember that evil entities do not really label themselves evil but they aren't delusional either.. Sith know what they do is basically wrong but they justify it by saying they are exploiting weakness to gain power.. Sith in general are like the hardcore Nazis, they know that their basic ideals are not morally sound but they utilize them because they "work" for whatever agenda they have..

no credible villain actively says "I'm a bad guy, I like evil - mwahahaha" - however many will try and justify doing horrific things, doesn't really mean they think they are making the world a better place.. they just reach a little "unfettered" spot in their mind that shields them from the moral burdens of what they do..

a normal person mugs an old lady and feels horrible about it, a delusional person mugs an old lady and feels they did her good by showing her the follies of life (or to "toughen up") - an evil person mugs an old lady and feels neutral about it (because they don't feel bad, nor do they feel they did right.. they simply did it because they needed the money or whatever.. and mugging was the easiest means to get it).

at its roots, most (realistic) evil is Opportunistic.. plain and simple..
