'The Imperium is the only way humanity can survive in 40k' The Imperium is WHY humanity is doomed in 40k.
The whole point is that their stupid fascist take over and genocide of 99% of xenos races that could have potentially been allies resulted in them being stuck alone with the other 1% of races that are brutal and terrifying enough to survive as mortal enemies.
The whole point is that their stupid facist empire is so rotten to the core, so miserable and empty in fullfilment that people willingly sell their souls to one of four super satans and their color coded hells just to HAVE something else.
The whole point is that their stupid fascist philosophy will regularly kneecap any attempts at reform or efficency, even if it's an outright improvement with no holds bar because they are so backwards and zealous they would rather scream heresy and demand executions.
It is a rotting empire, trapped in a hell of its own making, with no way out and slowly crumbling from within and without. And GOOD for that too.
