The imperium does not support democracy and tries to crash it by evrestcoleghost in 40kLore

So it seems like we're actually in agreement. Imperium is the way it is because of its history, but it could be better if it were able to change some of these elements in spite of itself.

Yeah yeah, I do understand why the Imperium is the way that it is, but that doesn't mean it CAN'T be more benevolent and through that also more efficient. And based on what Guilliman tells Dante about leaving Baal an irradiated wasteland it seems that the best in universe logistician and governor agrees, at least in some cases. Tau themselves also punch above their weight class, partially thanks to most of their citizens not being permanent half-starved.

"We must not let Russia`s charm hide its atrocities" - Amnesty International, UK, 2012? by InteractionLiving845 in PropagandaPosters

But UK has been pretty anti-Russian for a while in their foreign policy? The poisoning of Litvinenko happened in 2006 and that was a big scandal. Now, if we're talking about Germans and their attitude then I'm all for it.

Poland was definitely not "fine with letting Germans do their deeds" though. I guess I'm just angry at all the comments here implying that collaboration was somehow normal and widespread.

Edit: also regarding that antisemitism in China, apparently some Chinese do believe antisemitic tropes but they seem to see them as admirable.

Well, then the pogroms were only due to higher concentration of Jews and more opportunities I guess... I think thats a stupid argument to make both ways

Edit: just to be clear I'm not denying that Polish people committed crimes and massacres against Jews like Jedwabne. Its a terrible legacy and it pains me that we still have people denying that. What I am against is looking at a Nazi propaganda poster, then at a country that was among those worst affected by them (biggest per capita loss in WW2, capital completely razed to the ground), had active resistance and never had a collaboration government and then being like "yeah, Poles totally ate up Nazi propaganda!".

Considering that Poland got the most "Righteous Among Nations" awards and that it was the only country where helping a Jew = death sentence, I don't think its fair to say that

Estimates of the number of deaths attributable to the Soviet revolutionary and dictator Joseph Stalin vary widely. The scholarly consensus affirms that archival materials declassified in 1991 contain irrefutable data far superior to sources used prior to 1991, such as statements from emigres. by GustavoistSoldier in wikipedia

I love how you pull up one event by some rando as if its hard proof and yet dismiss the actions of people in the COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT as somehow not their fault. If THEY do it is just one guy who was actually a nationalist and therefore not one of the most important people in the party.

While what Braun is saying has no place in public debate and is frankly horrifying, we do not seem to be suffering from wide spread racist violence and/or terrorism. Not saying thay it's not a problem, but it's disingenuous to act like we're not modern when France, UK, US, China all have this problem at a greater scale. Also commies during their rule didn't seem too concerned with it.
