      It could be as simple as a lot of MAGA chuds also liking how “based” the Galactic Empire seemed, and attributing all “based” things to their (their words not mine) “God Emperor.” cringe

        It’s funny they reference 40k so much because the Emperor was a reddit atheist that banned religion. He’s only considered a “god emperor” because he failed to predict which of his son’s would betray him that made him half-dead and sitting on a throne nasogastrically consuming the souls of his dead citizens to stay alive.

        Many such cases of them not even reading the wikis of the treats they consume.

          Some do; those ones just see the Imperium’s mass-murdering death cult as “based” too.

          Except Reddit Atheists don’t have empirical proof that god-like beings that feed on human belief actually do exist, which makes the Emperor even worse. He literally made a Faustian bargain with those same Chaos Gods to create the Primarchs in the first place but thought that he could just keep their existence a secret.
