    The Imperium are the worst outcome for humanity.

    The Interex would not have fallen to Chaos.

    The fleet based societies wouldn’t have invaded and gone to war with literally all peaceful Xeno.

    A sane federation of post dark age human planets could have been formed without the autocratic dictatorship and avoided war with half the galaxy.

    This would have left humanity AND xenos better off and more capable of defeating emerging threats like the Tyranids.

      I don’t disagree. I didn’t say the Imperium was the best option, I said it’s the best option humans could come up with. I may be a little cynical nowadays about how readily people will accept authoritarianism in the face of a crisis.
