>>97777202
He did many things that were wrong but his treatment of his genetically engineered posthuman generals as tools of war was not one of them. SMfags need to remember they're supposed to be hideously inhuman weapons not noble heroes.

If you let your sword rust, it will break when you need it, and the fault will not be with the weapon.

what they had before he started wasn't working though

>>97778759
It literally was, humanity was recovering. Civilizations were springing all over the galaxy and they were literally just fine until the Imperium attacked them.
>>
>>97778774
no it wasn't, they were weak and shit
>>
>>97778780
They were literally holding off the orks and deldar and any neighboring threats. If it wasn't for the retarded demigod and his killsquads they would have never died.
>>
>>97778803
>died to a weaker faction
>but they could have totally defended themselves against stronger factions!
lol
>>
>>97778774
The Imperium barely won against the Rangda and Ullanor Orks and that was with the Emperor and his sons. Also when people mean humanity was doomed to extinction its better to think of it like how the Eldar are a dying race rather than humanity being a few centuries off from complete annihilation without the Emperor.
>>
>>97778821
The Imperium literally is the strongest faction in the galaxy.
>>
>>97778829
not until it assimilated all the shitters
>>
>>97778841
It already was the strongest faction in the galaxy because it had the Emperor. If the Emperor had sided with literally any other faction? They would get the same results if not better.
>>

And where did that get them? It got them the Imperium of today. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

>>97778852
If I gave literally any human remnant an nigh unkillable psychic juggernaut capable of annihilating armies on his own who reenables FTL empirewide and comes with several hundred STC's worth of knowledge, pretty sure they get much further, yes.

“Barely won?” Nigga they didn’t even lose a single primarch, it was a fucking curbstomp.

Good and bad are just meaningless words that change according to the era and the culture of society.
>>
>>97780175
Okay so if he didn't do anything wrong because good and bad are meaningless he didn't do anything good either and there was no difference between him and the Interex or the Orks or whatever so this entire conversation is over. Thank you.
>>
>>97778904
Unless of course the theory about one of the missing primarchs died in the Rangdan Xenocides is true. I kinda hope it is just so that you can say one of the Primarchs died to Xenos. (Vulkan doesn't count)
>>
>>97780966
They probably wouldn’t have censored the very memory of two primarchs just for dying. Most likely the primarchs were the only two to defy the emperor up to that point (since all 20 primarchs agreeing to follow the tyrannical dickhead with no issues before Chaos intervened seems fairly unlikely)
>>
>>97778658
His failure to ensure that his posthuman generals were actually behaving as inhuman weapons after they spent decades being treated as people by their various adoptive families means it's still his fault.
>>
>>97781079
Given how they were based on the roman legions lost in the teutoberg forest (which were condemned to damnatio memoriae for their failure irl) its not that implausible that one of them got censored for dying to a Xeno.
>>
>>97780237
But Big E is the supreme lord of humanity, so he defines what is good and bad, so he did everything right.

Leto was trying to basically traumatize the entire human race into never, ever wanting to have a monolithic government again. The Golden Path is basically a very long-con to ensure humanity survives by spreading out and diversifying, so that no single catastrophe could wipe us out. Which, in most respects, is the opposite of what Big E does.
>>
>>97777212
When it's against Xenos and Chaos, it absolutely applies.
>>
>>97784157
He gambled, but the game was rigged from the start. He did fucking amazing considering he knew there was narrow odds of him winning even with the Chaos Gods cheating him out of his win

Good intentions don't justify mistakes, and just like Magnus, he did a lot, which lead to an infine amount of suffering

I like to think The Last Church is Canon, since it means the Emperor gets to seethe for eternity bolted to a cuckchair watching problem after problem matastacize all of which could have been EASILY avoided if he had just not been such a cunt to Lorgar.

Literally every single thing wrong with the Imperium right now would be a non-issue if they had gotten ahead of the problem by letting Lorgar establish the Cult of the Emperor and run it from the get go.
>>
>>97777202
He is the greatest champion/tool of Chaos.
Probably did the most to make sure Chaos stick around in the galaxy no matter what and was humble enough to try and not get his reward from big four for doing all he did.

Fascism is younger than the machinegun. The human concept of divinity predates the written word. As based as it would be, I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that Marduk was planning on opening a Futurist resteraunt when he was slaying Tiamat. He probably never even read Gentile.

Everything he did, he did for his specific idea of humanity. Not for the reality of humanity. That's why the Imperium decayed.

11th died in the Xenocides. 2nd was involved, and it (probably) had something to do with his obsession with Necrons.

Exactly, and he didn't do anything right either. So clearly there is no difference between him and any other faction.

honestly people over estimate how badly Big E actually treated them, only a select few such as Magnus, Lorgar, and Angron got the short end of the stick, and even then for Magnus and Lorgar it was because of their own retardation, only Angron got really fucked over, and even then he was also a shit father since he demand his sons to install a device he knew would turn them into literal raging retards

I thought he was indifferent to that, they did it to themselves because they assumed he would better accept them. Didn't work, of course, but he didn't give enough of a shit to stop them regardless.

Magnus got to hang out with the Emperor in the Warp and constantly talked with him telepathically. Of all the Primarchs, Magnus probably spoke with the Emperor the most, albeit not in person (that would be Horus).

>>97791932
Angron made them do it as part of a deal, he'd actually make an effort to lead his legion and they'd all take the Nails.
>>
>>97777212
It doesn’t excuse him from doing it wrong either.

Call me a heretic but Empy was kind of a dipshit.
