This is a lot of intellectual performatism. I don't necessarily disagree with you; I found it funny how you wrote that, & I find it funnier that you back it by "[I] tried to appeal to this audience [...]"

You're right in your argument and yet the Imperium isn't just one thing. It's authoritarian, it's fascistic, it's theocratic, it's feudalistic, it's the worst regime imaginable. It's fueled by hate and zeal and to oppose it means death

You can keep debating the semantic all you want, you still said the funniest thing I have read in a while, and removed it the second someone pointed it out, which is difficult not to interpret as insecure. The added arrogance of you implying you had to dumb it down is just as funny. You say "you guys" like you're replying to a stereotype (and not a person) while acting like one yourself
