[@saltysocks1074]

@@F0wlPlay Eh, I personally like the imperial BECAUSE it's evil, not despite it. Wow! There can be a kernel of Truth to the reason why that evil exists, I really resist the attempt to fully justify it. Better systems of governance do and should exist within the setting (look at ultramar, the tau, the leagues, the eldar (not the dark eldar), and etc). The imperium is fundamentally flawed and it's awesome because of it

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Being able to lead a chaos cult will be one of the most demanding tasks in the Galaxy as one most be an individual of strong of will to cow their followers into submission and to fall the temptations of the ruinous powers, but you most be devoted to the cause and not let the Imperium know of your existence for they will do everything in their powers to crush you. That why the most successful followers of chaos are the ones who do not accept gifts of their patrons gods and still able to reason with themselves and others in achieving their goals.

Great Narration at the beginning. Really shows how when you strip away the propaganda the imperium is the mirror image of chaos and for humanity to have any chance it must fall. Like the moribund byzantine empire it has to make way for a more vigorous and living entity who can do more with the same resources

I really like that you covered the cultists and renegades, and relegate that the mass of conflict between Chaos and the Imperium is between its citizens... the cultists and renegades, the guardsmen and loyalist workers. A contest of faith and numbers. And relatively unexplored as far as my knowledge of the books go.

Thank you for the great material once again. I do want to say that on the subject of the evil of the imperium vs the evil of chaos, that I think that when the setting is at its best that deciding which is the lesser evil should not be straightforward. Indeed, I'm often a little disappointed and frustrated with some writers not depicting the Imperium as sufficiently despotic. But however great the scale of the Imperiums oppression, at the end of the day it is redeemably evil; whereas the evil of chaos is irredeemable.

I appreciate the introduction to the chaos cultist Baldermort. Especially the part how the Imperium has to be this way to counter the insidious nature of the chaotic influences and xeno incursions into humanities empire. The tourist crowd or the politically orthodox fail to understand democracy has had its time there isn't a way you can govern an interstellar empire with democracy, there isn't a way to stop subversive and demonic influence with tolerance there isn't a way to talk it out with xenos that wish to skin you for their own joy. The Imperium is what it is because of the nature of the enemies it faces humanity has to be harsh to deal with a harsh universe.

Re your intro about pundits and their daft hypotheses. It’s the difference in smarts between a grot and an eldar. Most pundits can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag. Allowing these fools to make any commentary on something they are almost entirely too young or thick to grasp has been the Imperium’s greatest error. Human children in a dark universe. They need to seal their lips and still their typing digits and let the elders teach them. Only the true old one, the Grognards, get this.

[@WeAreTheBentusi]

You are right about 40K and the Imperium, Baldermort. It is the worst tyranny mankind has ever seen and yet the alternatives are so much worse. This is why whenever some servant to chaos opens their maw and spews bile at the Imperium for it's evils I feel a great rage kindle within me. Humanity is in it's current state BECAUSE of the machinations of the Dark gods. But it's not just humanity, every single Eldar is born damned since their fall for the greed and excess of their ancestors. Yet I foolishly cling to hope the it will one day get better. Maybe one day, chaos will be weak enough to enable the imperium to make good on the promises it made in it's heyday, but I know I won't see it. Whether on the table top, or in video games like boltgun we the players are at best planting seeds for future generations of Imperium Citizens. We burn our decency, for someone else's future, we spend our lives and that of our little soldiers so that there may be a sunrise for others that we will never see. Yet, if that warm sunlight shines on future generations, then perhaps all the sacrifices that's been made and the ones yet to come would be worth it.
