    It seems possible that a species could master its internal strife well enough not to destroy itself, but still turn its weapons against outsiders. The U.S. hasn't nuked its own population, but it has nuked Japan.

    40K for all its goofiness at least attempts to give plausible explanations for why the galaxy would be a warzone

    I don't know, I don't think space magic is more plausible than theories serious astronomers have kicked around since the 80s.

      but it has nuked Japan

      Yeah but it stopped at two cities, and turning weapons against outsiders requires a reason, and the reasons given in the book are just dumb, the shit being described in 3BP would make the Imperium of Man blush, it tries so hard to be grim dark to goes full grim dumb

      I don’t think space magic is more plausible

      It's not "space magic" it's interdimensional energggggy and Advanced genetic enigeeeering...it's goofy and fun and there's space elves, commie goblins and a sex god/goddess with a cool ass color scheme shut up :soviet-huff:
