Why do we fight?

I don't know if any of you have watched "Bad Batch," (probably not since it is on Disney) but I watched an episode from the most recent season that I think echoes where we are in the fight against evil. Please bear with me on this one, because it will make sense at the end, I hope. The series takes place immediately after Order 66, and follows a rogue group of clone troopers that weren't affected by the order known as Clone Force 99. The episode in question deals with a senator trying to protect the rights of the clone troopers that are being replaced by the new storm troopers. This episode is in the wake of the end episode of season one where the Empire destroys the floating cities on Kamino that created the clone Army wiping out the Kaminoan people in the process. The plot of the episode sees the Bad Batch working to expose the Empire's role in that act in order to get the senate, which still held legislative power during that time, to vote against the bill that would pave the way for the imperial storm troopers. They are successful, and right at the end, Emperor Palpatine addresses the senate in the video posted below. Just like in Revenge of the Sith, he was playing both sides to get what he wanted, which brings me to the point I'm trying to make here. In Star Wars, Palpatine is essentially the personification of evil, capable of fooling and corrupting almost any one and any institution just as Lucifer does in our own world. They say that art imitates life, so I ask myself, is that what we're seeing here with the culture war we are currently fighting? Lucifer has been called the great deceiver, and he was even able to enter the Garden of Eden to corrupt Adam and Eve, so is it really that much of a stretch to believe he could be playing both sides here as well knowing that in the end, he will still get what he wants which is power over humanity? Is it possible that the immorality that is being pushed by the culture is really just a means to an end for the evil one? Could he be using this chaos and immorality to decieve religious people from across the world into uniting under him in a sort of global religion where he masquerades as God or as Christ? If this is the case, what is the point to fighting if he's playing both sides and is going to get what he wants anyway? Am I crazy and just reading too much into this? I'm genuinely curious to know all of your thoughts on this.
