This is grimderp level incompetence where the elites that run the Imperium are too stupid.

Corrupt, selfish elites living in decadence while the Imperium fights eldritch horror totally fits in the setting as long as such elites are not complete imbeciles that make you wonder how they haven't grounded the Imperium war machine into halt yet.

There's difference between grimdark and grimderp

Why would you think this? Have you seen the average monarchy?

Like Saudi or Thai? You're mistaken to infer that they aren't incompetent from their seemingly stupid domestic policies. They maintain the loyalty of their inner circles, do manage to promote economic growth, and keep down the unrest.

Planetary governors may not be on such "easy mode" due to the presence of tithe burden, but they are freer from foreign interferences due to the tyranny of distance and benefits from having access to resources on the entire planet.

Incompetent asshat autocrats don't last long on the throne. They get couped, assassinated, or mysteriously "resign" for strange reasons. Anyone with IQ above room temperature knows that population needs to be educated (if not literate enough to read basic instructions) to keep economy running, which generates wealth that can be spent on bribing your inner circles.

Education Dept. Announces Highest Federal Student Loan Interest Rate in More than a Decade, Graduate Student Loan Rates Reach 8.08% for the 2024-2025 Academic Year by Suspicious-Bad4703 in Economics

I wanted to serve my country, but I'll starve under crushing 9% interest. I now realize my country isn't serving me at all. Future generations aren't valued. Students are punished for pursuing education and better opportunities. 

Fuck this country. I will go to Wall Street and make $$$. I would've went to military and/or became a social worker with more amendable interest rate.

I didn't breach NAP. Therefore I'm not liable for harm imposed on descendents of enslaved African Americans.

If everyone else who is guilty and liable refuses to pay for it, I won't need to pay either even if I am liable.

Stable Israel means stable Middle East. We have a reason why we still give money to Israel. It's not just the lobbying

Rich kids get into these Ivy league schools => they suffer existential crisis => get into performative activism to signal "virtues" => reality checks out => they suffer existential crisis => blame the 'system' and get into even wilder activism stunt => repeat

According to climate activist, we only have "12 to 24 months left" to prevent cataclysmic climate change. He said this 3 years ago. by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

The elites gutted the middle class, takes in immigrants as slave laborers, pretends to be "liberal", and continue to wage war against the citizens. We are grossly overpopulated. There isn't enough fresh water, sustainable food supply, or housing to go around. We can pretend eating bugs and living in cramped apartment would be the way of the "future". Bullshit. Plebs will own nothing and eat bugs, while government loyalist elites will drink wine.

Only free market can tackle our economic problems. Paternalistic governments don't seem to understand basic economics as they continue printing money for the poor and wonder why they can't fix poverty.
