4zi [he/him, comrade/them]

I remember talking to my coworker when the first avatar movie came out and I said it was good but thought it was a little too on the nose about the American military and he just gave me this surprised look and said “wait it’s about the American military?”

Won’t need the jaws of life because your head is going to explode against the bullet proof glass and armored framing when you get tboned, because nothing is absorbing all the energy

Its numberless legions of soldiers and zealots bludgeon their way across the galaxy, delivering death to anyone and anything that doesn’t adhere to their blinkered view of purity. Almost every man and woman toils in misery either on the battlefield – where survival is measured in hours – or in the countless manufactorums and hive slums that fuel the Imperial war machine. All of this in slavish servitude to the living corpse of a God-Emperor whose commandments are at best only half-remembered, twisted by time and the fallibility of Humanity.

Warhammer 40,000 isn’t just grimdark. It’s the grimmest, darkest.

The Imperium of Man stands as a cautionary tale of what could happen should the very worst of Humanity’s lust for power and extreme, unyielding xenophobia set in. Like so many aspects of Warhammer 40,000, the Imperium of Man is satirical.

I also hate the use of coal miners and steel workers because they are an incredibly tiny subset of the working class, only chosen to appeal to the middle class middle management types hate fantasy of the working class. There’s like 35k coal miners and 70k steel workers in the US total. Like why wouldn’t they have chosen a (marginally) more realistic example involving fast food workers, warehouse workers, or general retail workers?
