      Enlightened 40Kism, we know we are the bad guys, cause there are no good guys, just worse villians.

          In Warhammer 40K, the Imperium of Man are awful, but they’re the ‘good guys’ because they’re human, any every other species is even more awful and would wipe humanity out given the chance

          Space Dawi

          Most of the independent human systems doing just fine without the Imperium tyvm

          Eldar

          Some Necrons, maaaaybe. It’s hard to tell with them sometimes.

          Hrud mostly seem to just want to be left alone.

          A lot of aliens just chilling

          Fun Fact: the Imperium doesn’t actually span most of the galaxy. Nor do they really “control” the area around their systems.

          Because of how FTL works in 40k, some areas just aren’t accessible to them. There’s a full on insectoid empire called the Q’orl near Terra that they didn’t have access to or know about until the Warp currents shifted.

          And apparently their technology is even enough to be a potential threat… And the Imperium learned this when they immediately tried to kill them, obviously

          Ah yes you can join our ‘Greater Good’ if you volunteer to be our slaves and castrate yourself. Also if you change your mind and try to leave we’ll kill you.

      More like “we are the baddies, but the incredibly wealthy own the country and they want war, and none of us have to balls to start lopping off heads”

        incredibly wealthy own the country

        I wish people just said “the capitalist class”…

        Makes it more obvious what the problem is and What Is To Be Done (working class revolution and overthrow).

      No, not okay. The monkey puppet reaction.

      We are not shocked to learn we are the bad guys. I never said it’s okay, I just disagree with the reaction meme to indicate we didn’t know it.

      Not sure where you pulled “it’s okay because America” from my statement but no need to jump to conclusions and put words in peoples mouth.

        He pulled it from nowhere because tankies are incapable of nuance, especially if you hold an even mildly dissenting opinion. You’re either with them or against them, there is no in-between. It’s ironic how much they share in common with actual fascists.
