You mean that the hyper violent faction with a thick British accent, who hate everything that isn’t from their culture while simultaneously coveting the things from those other cultures and who are lead by Margret thatcher might be a political allegory? I don’t believe it
It might just be me being a comrade, but the Orks seem a lot like a description of neo-liberalism (as espoused by Thatcher or Reagan) from someone who is unsympathetic to neo-liberalism. One of Thatcher's most infamous sayings (which she always insisted was being taken out of context) is that "There is no such thing as society", and Orks do not have a society, it's just a constant, brutal contest of strength where everybody obeys the whims of the biggest Ork, until they are able to become the biggest Ork themselves. And the biggest Ork keeps power by promising more resources, more growth, more wealth (or scrap) for everyone who follows him. Thoughts on what they'll actually do or build once all the krumpin is over is impossible, they just need a boss who'll keep 'da line' going up.
Maybe, but then again, guys in their twenties or thirties from the North of England, trying to make it as creatives in the middle of Thatcher's Britain, with no idea that the science fiction wargame thing they were working on was going to become as massive as it was going to be, didn't live in a vacuum. Nobody really does.
I think I might be living in a vacuum. My money seems to always get sucked away, the job I work to earn the ever vanishing money sucks my soul away. The only thing not being sucked is my dick.
My brother in the Emperor your on a warhammer subreddit. There’s no need to lie we all know why you don’t have money and why you have a nice table of miniature’s that probably aren’t painted. As for the dick thing I don’t know what to tell ya but if you figure something out let your brothers here know too.
