Because thats how it started? The Imperium is not a good place to live. It is the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable, per every 40k book ever. It is a setting with zero “good” factions.

Yes that is exactly what it was done to do. Political satire was a central component to GWs early development of it’s properties(shouts out to the margaret thatcher banner) and it has remained part of it in varying degrees over the decades. You’re not supposed to like the imperium or any faction within 40k, it’s not a setting to be celebrated. It’s meant to be showing things at their absolute worst including the hyper racist empire that represents humanity.

How could you possibly talk about fascism, a political system, without being political
My god man. We’re not making this shit up, this is literally the story behind 40k, per the people who wrote it.

Bro the imperium has a religious inquisition that goes around executing people for religious heresy and thought crime. Space marines are brainwashed, drugged up child soldiers and the mechanicus are sol religiously conservative they’re essentialy the amish with laser rifles.

I thought it was more the fanatical religious cult that formed around the emperor rather than him as a person that turned the imperium to shit
