"GW says so," is not a good defense or argument of the criticism I levelled at it. Imagine doing that to every piece of fiction ever.
Also, I don't recall making stuff up. The Imperium has a ton of dictatorships in them in the form of planetary governors. They're tyrannies because that's what happens when you give a select few so much power. So you know, I think you just misunderstood me, or just being extremely anal on what dictatorships mean.
Living conditions are shit because they're in a dictatorship, not therefore it is a dictatorship. Like, this isn't hard to comprehend. Democracies can be shit sure, but democracies is building a house on firm solid ground whereas dictatorships is building a house on quicksand. It won't last.
So in the 8k years humanity has faced psykers in the Age of Strife, not one planet decided to properly study them? Not one planet decided to properly train them? Why can't the Imperium train the populace on what the Warp and psykers are? Saves a lot of time and bloodshed instead of sending a regiment of Guards to a place where Daemons popped in. Why don't we hear stories where psykers developed and improved the condition they lived in? Only Prospero did that, and that was because Magnus was a Primarch.
Also I want to see an entire set of novels of people rebelling against the planetary governor, the rebels being able to fend off not only the Guards but also the Space Marines, and the Imperium goes "okay we'll leave you alone, just pay the tithe and send mats".
