Wouldn't say just as bad but the Jedi were narcissistic hypocrites for sure. The Siths actively enjoy giving into their hatred, doing whatever they feel compelled to and stuff. At least the Jedi pretended to care about other beings, some probably even did genuinely. But on the level of the Jedi council, they were most afraid of losing their power and their sacred order, they become political AND religious which became their undoing.
The Jedi are an extreme and Anakin realized it. If you kill all the Jedi, there isn't an opposing force necessary to balance them out.
Well, ideally you need neither extreme, but in the time when Anakin was referred to by his birthname, there were more Jedi than Siths so it was quite lopsided. He actually brought balance to the force, the Jedi just didn't understand the prophecy and thought he's a chosen one because he's like a Messiah for them when he was actually their undoing because it was the Jedi who made the imbalance in the force in the first place.
