Beeple-beep beep! Why exactly is the Imperium so poorly run and

OP, stop forcing this meme.

>>50512283

Well i hate your meme, but i actually want to discuss this question. The simple reason, as far as i see it, is because it is literally impossible. It's not that the imperium is just that incompetent, they literally cannot effectively manage their supply chains due to the nature of warp travel. The nature of warp travel is such that you can arrive before you leave, or so late as to have completely missed the reason for your departure. It's random. They have no control over it. It's kinda hard to run a supply chain when its trip through the hell dimension determines when it gets there, not your time table.

because its supposed to be a ridiculous over the top parody
if it was just guardsmen getting shot dead that isnt funny, but if the guardsmen are being bombarded with poison gas, space-AIDS, future missiles, normal missiles, lasers, while at the same at time complaining about how the human meat they were forced to cook today was just a bit worse than yesterday, than that becomes a bit more entertaining
things like opening a food crate, only to discover 12 tonnes of toilet paper, and then saying "hey, it tastes better than the ration" is probably closer to the point than igniting some discussion about the logistics of a schizo-tech empire in the year 40,000

It's nowhere near that bad. It's risky and not 100% reliable, but it's not just push a button and pray.

Here's a better question - why haven't you necked youreslf yet?

>>50512283
Well, it's a little bit of A) All your long distance communications and logistics are required to travel through an unreliable hell dimension.

A little bit of B) It's just too damn big for them to run smoothly.

And a bit of C) 10k years ago a man united half of humanity against the other half and the resulting war almost spelled the doom of our empire and species, so everything is purposefully designed to be inefficient so that can never happen again.

Corruption and dogma mainly. Half of everyone is trying to look out for number one. You have some people like Kriegers and Commisars which are indoctrinated, but very few of them are in actual positions of power. Even the Eccleisarchy is riddled with corruption. The other half of everyone is so deeply rooted in backwards rituals that they can't do anything efficiently or even at all in some cases. The Mechanicus can theoretically innovate, for example, but they have a bunch of contradictory laws and beliefs that essentially make it impossible.

That's facilitated by, contributes to, and works alongside poor communications that prevent any sort of efficient communication or even basic management.

Isn't it like high treason to even think too loud about pocketing extra ammo in case you feel the amount assigned you will be insufficient?

>>50512283
Because if the imperium had efficient government and logistics it would be literally unstoppable.

>>50516748
Depends on how reasonable your local supply officer and/or LT are. And it's only treason if you get caught.

>>50516763
You mean able to pitifully resist a little better against beings that could extinguish their species with any number of doom's day devices.

have you ever been in the military?

shit ain't different irl

>>50516748
For a bummy guardsmen? Yeah of course, they're meat for the grinder. For planetary governor or a wealthy ship captain? They'll burn down a rainforest to get to the single rare gemstone buried underneath because they need it for the pommel of their shiny new dress power saber.

not just the military

t.tax man

>>50517360
Considering all involved, they do a pretty good job.

>>50517364
Sometimes I forget that a planetary governor is essentially "King of a World"

Inefficiency is the seed of rebellion.

As a real life Elysian, I can say the portrayal of the Guards fucked up supply and logistics is 100% accurate along with their portrayal of officers who have never been beyond a fob.

It depends, but there is a lot of entrenched ultra-nobility in many sectors.
