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?

    In the earlier lore, the Emperor was the result of every Shaman on Earth committing ritual suicide to release their psychic essence into the warp that manifested in the Emperor. He was apparently born on the steppes of Anatolia in antiquity, and had tried to guide humanity from the shadows. So he then lived through all of this, maybe he was literally Hitler or even Stalin??? Then after the dark ages he decides to finally reveal himself.

    The Emperor is then of course Turkish 🇹🇷

      It is heavily implied that he was Julius Caesar, which is where all the Latin comes from.
