> What is so appealing about theocratic fascism that people would choose to spend their free time and disposable income to dwell within it? Yiu might as well ask "why people choose playing bad guy in (c)RPG" ? Because it is something different than the usuall Also it's most about cool shit the whatever faction you like do. The misery of the world is only a background to show the unimaginable scale of the conflict in the world where a seed of chaos or genestealers in a small community can lead to entire planet being doomed if not handled appropriately. The stakes are massive and the conflict is on awesome scale. > IMHO it's no coincidence that the first human civilizations were autocratic. It's basically the default form of government. This is a very important message to spread because too often liberal societies fool themselves into thinking that liberty "just happens" and is "inevitable", a feature of the natural world, requiring no effort from the individuals that compose it. This is not just foolish but destructive. It is why, for example, that fascism rises in democracies like the US even though the vast majority do not support it: they don't even bother to vote, thinking they don't have to. I think that's spot on; also most people don't really want to be bothered to run the bigger scale as long as their lives are fine enough (from their perspective, as they might not know any better). Like society when everyone is involved in every decision on wider area (let's say small city) would be obnoxious enough, every fucking day there would be half a dozen issues to decide upon so that would naturally evolve to deciding to pick (and pay for their trouble) some people to deal with some kind of issue and as it is hard to know who would be good at, the most charismatic one wins...
