**Part 1: Objective Good & Evil**
There is a tremendous amount of spite and criticism from the modern western left towards the aesthetics of the imperium in Warhammer 40,000. The issue for the left is that the enemies of a fascist imperium are ontologically evil. When the Imperium opposes objectively evil factions in order to preserve humanity the imperium becomes a force for good.

Leftists will decry the slogans of the Imperium regarding a closed mind and ignorance, but these very slogans are what keep the souls of imperial citizens safe from demonic corrupting forces.

Leftists will decry the Imperiums intolerance of Chaos worship (freedom of religion), and their intolerance of Xenos, but these attitudes are objectively what keep the imperium safe.

Everything the imperium represents, liberals despise. Namely, the principles of order, moral duty, religiosity, shared values, and an objective moral code.

**Part 2: Aesthetics & Morality**

The heroes of the imperium have all the traits and aesthetics of heroes from antiquity. Leftists are fighting an uphill battle against the aesthetics of heroism that is ingrained into every human being.

When a man witnesses a baroque depiction of a land-stand of an Astartes chapter, holding the line against hordes of disorder, (demons, aliens, heretics), this immediately conjures images of Achilles, of Teutonic Knights, of Merlin, of Excalibur.

These images are the prototype of what a hero is.

**Part 3: Cognitive Dissonance**

Leftists will seek to inject their own politics into the imperium to make it more palatable to their tastes. This includes but isn’t limited to:

-Portraying all (celibate) Sisters of Battle as Horny Sapphic Lovers in a massive polycule.

-Inventing fantasies of Heroes of the Imperium as homosexual lovers: Dantioch & Pollux, Greyfax and Celestine, etc.

-Obsessively painting their ideological iconography onto their models (political or sexual flags)

What the leftist fails to realize, is that according to their worldview, the imperium is objectively evil, and no amount of fan fiction will ever change the fact that it is a religious monarchy set against objectively evil factions which will always make it appear heroic and noble in nature.

Thus it is a massive disaster that Warhammer 40,000 is becoming more and more mainstream and why it becomes ever more important to capture control over the narrative of the setting, and make it less harsh against the principles of Leftism that Chaos represents.
