Tau very much aren’t good guys with their rigid caste system and the “join us ‘peacefully’ and definetly of your own volition or by force” expansionism. Orks are an unrelenting pack of bastard mushrooms to everyone all the time.
Yeah the war against the men of iron and the eventual outlawing of AI oingst humanity as a result is part of the DAOT and it’s downfall.

Lore wise humanity was more chill in the dark age of technology and earlier there was a lot a lot of back and forth though a lot that lore is deliberately very vague and there certainly might be parts of it I don’t know as it’s been a couple of years since my last 40k lore hyperfixation. For the 10,000 years or so the setting primarily covers humanity is full on murder mode from the moment the emperor elects to reveal himself to humanity, conquer terra and engage in the campaign of galactic conquest.

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.

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.

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.

Nah terrorism charges are reserved for people who take displeasure in the murder or brown people not encourage it.

Odd thing is there are landers that have come down in land, Soyuz in particular comes to mind and there might even be some US have some examples in the past also.

As others have said, don’t waste your time on it. Ultimately an unfun drug.

They do this every time it raises and the great collapse they talk of never seems to come so I’m fairly confident it won’t hapoen this time.

My question is if everything is going to be human made in the end why bother using at all? You won’t even get any of the much vaunted time savings at that point.

Man I remember death matching on this way back when. Was some excellent stuff.
- Comment on Fr Fr 6 months ago:
Given something like 40% of the world relies on crops grown with things like combine harvesters and fertilisers his rhetoric is straight up genocidal as getting rid of those would lead to the death of billions.
Plus for all it’s horrors the pharmaceutical industry provides some pretty neat things that help people not die.
The issue ultimately doesnt really lie with industry as a concept/ technology but how we’ve implemented it. Getting rid of it would make things worse for everyone.

It means prices are going up slower so it’s good. Though note this is an average so the price raises apply unevenly.

Honestly mind boggling that 125 thousand cows are slaughtered each month just to support maccas. Once you add various other places selling beef burgers and other beef cuts and I imagine the number can get even bigger.
