Been hearing a lot of rumblings from normal people in the warhammer community they are tired of fascists worshipping the imperium of man in their community.

is it like a human supremacist group in the lore or something like the empire in Star Wars?

    Well if violence was always going to beget violence, it seems like it’s structured into the universe that this is the inevitable outcome of existence and life

    Was it ever possible that there could have been a runaway positive feedback loop into a benevolent universe? I don’t think so. The existence of a warp in this way seems to doom the sentient life that brush up against it

      Yeah sorta, but that's getting a little to into the pretty shaky metaphysics of a satire universe. Fundamentally in the cannon of the universe the warp is not supposed to be inherently evil, it is just thats how the history of the universe played out.

      Possibly? If the Emperor had been space Lenin, then it strikes me that they could've found the Tau and the universe would be a better place, especially as (provided he does a better job with his sons than the Emperor did) you don't end up with beings like the Chaos marines.

      But then going down this path you could also say that had the advanced race that created the Orks to fight the (potentially Necrons?) done a better job at improving their design of Orks (I think the original Orks were called Krorks or something) that maybe you would have had two advanced species (Eldars and an improved Ork species). Necrons were always going to go down a bad path, there was no saving that, and Tyranids are flat out monsters, literally. Eldar culture kind of shot itself in the foot too, so had they made better choices there wouldn't even have been a Slaanesh.
