Oh goddammit he really named his kid after the machine cult in Warhammer 40k didn't he. FFS I should have known he's a fucking 40k fan, he would be the type to completely miss the point and think the Imperium is cool and based
I don't think he plays the tabletop or builds+paints any minis, he's seen some memes, read a couple wiki pages, maybe played some of the games. He's mainly interested in the "wow cool epic fascist space men sure do shoot good! Kill the witch, burn the heretic, purge the xenos!" aspect of 40k. It's a useful way to express fascist ideals while using irony/satire as a shield.
Holy shit I thought the whole "Tau Mechanicus" thing was a joke. That's fucking real?! Honestly should charge both parents with child abuse.

And I suspect that tweet wasn't about how discrimination against names was wrong?

He sure as shit won't post his models. He probably just saw God Emperor Trump memes and thought "WHY DIDN'T THEY MAKE THAT ME?!?!?!?"
