Supposedly, the God Emperor was always around and just hands off of human affairs until they Apocalypsed earth, then he took charge to save the species.
It’s possible that he probably came about before and then caused the Apocalypse, like some sort of psyker mutant test tube baby Oligarch.
History written by the victors and all that.
Die, heretic.

Why Orkz is best. True meritocracy
Blue orcs are lucky an’ don’t require meritocracy ta become a warboss.
There’s a cartoon about it now that was showing up on reddit that does exactly this
Yes, Inquisitor. This one right here is sprouting heresy. Something about the Imperium of Man will be the downfall of mankind.
Ork brain
The worst exemple you could choose is wharamer 40k. Like the fucking universe where humanity has to fight to survive. And fight more horrible things than even exist in ours.
Nah the entire point of the 40k is a satire of fascism and all the horrors it brings. Humanity is fighting to survive because everyone else in the universe quite rightly hates them for their 10,000 year campaign of conquest and genocide. Even the more horrible things than humanity like chaos are heavily bolstered and fed by the actions of the imperium. Every problem humanity faces in the 40k universe(except the orks I guess) is of their own doing.
I’m not with buddy. More here to talk about the lore of W.H.
Didn’t humanity try to be peaceful at first, but then the other species used our kindness as a way to take advantage of us?
Again, I’m not getting into the political side of it, just the lore.
yeah except the ork, the insect that just wanna propage indefinetly like a cancer and the warp ppl that are just under control of an entity that want the end of mankind. who the fuck in that universe is like your war was really mean we gonna make a never ending war in revenge ?
how the fuck u saw 40k and think fsatire of facism ???
Edit for all the moron than think politics are an integral part of wharamer juste replace wharamer with full metal jacket and how it was meant to show war ks horrible and the audience got the message thebmilitarybis cool.
I always love the irony of someone being called stupid in a borderline illiterate response.
Especially when you’re completely uninformed about the history of “wharamer”
Bruh, 40K literally started as a satire of fascism during the punk movement. From medium:
The farther we go forward in time, the more Umberto Eco’s seminal essay on the definition of fascism (“Ur-Fascism”, 1995) applies. Read these (very abridged) qualifiers and think about what you know about 40k, space marines, and the Imperium of Man.
- Cult of Tradition/Traditionalism
- Rejection of Modernism
- Cult of Action for Action’s Sake
- Disagreement is treason.
- Racist by definition/diversity is bad.
- Derives power from individual or social frustration.
- Nationalism/Tribalism/”Appeals to people who feel deprived of a clear social identity”
- Followers feel humiliated.
- Life is lived for struggle/life is permanent…
Think about every line you know from 40k, and everything that ever happens in this setting. It’s incredibly fascist coded and the fault of the fascists for being in their situation.
TBF the videogames have been a little lighter on the irony than the original.
40k is a story of humanity colonizing the stars, committing genocide, and then acting like a victim because aliens fought back and their oppressive genetic overlords turned on each other.
The obvious satire clearly went over your head.
no no look here. bitch. point is. WAR. IS. FREAKIN! COOOL!!!
“aliens fought back” bro do u hear yourself ? u think we gonna sit with them and have peace talk ? the point of the setting is a never ending war and humanity is at war with force that dont negotiate
Aren’t you pro Democratic Party, lol?
?
its a .ml user.
you can safely ignore. xD
This person went off their meds and is just running around spamming little gotchas to unusual places.
This person saw the word fascist and immediately thought of the Democrat Party.

I imagine that, if you’re a 10-year-old boy, fascism can look pretty awesome. Lots of action, badass uniforms and weapons, skulls and stuff, and no icky girls bringing their cooties into your top-sekrit treehouse.
