User blog comment:Lune Crackham/Is the Emperor of Mankind really a hero?/@comment-190.195.202.20-20170917004815

Okay i know this is old but i just want to give my 2 cents here. I'm NOT justifying the Emps here, just making things be looked from his perspective:

1- The Emps didin't destroy Khur, it was Monarchia (he just made a city be razed not the whole planet, also the only people that died there where the ones that refused to leave, laso the Emps ordered the city evacuated before it's destruciton) because he hated being adored (well maybe he did but allegadly that wasn't why) it was because to teach Lorgar a lesson, nothing more nothing less, that lesson was than even more than treason the thing that the emps wasn't going to tolerate was failure: “I told you all that there was one sin far graver than betrayal, Failure” (Emps Himself)

2- It's not wise but again a broken tools can still serve it's purpouse until it's finally broken (being that "repairing it" wasn't possible in this case, the first and foremost things that the Emperor wanted was to reunite the planets of mankind, it didn't matter if it was through words or weapons as long as it was done swiftly, that's why the Emps didn't stopped the methods of such as Curze, Alpharius, Perturabo and Angron ( it's not truly proven that Russ was sended by the Emps, personally if he was sended some kind of representative would have accompanied the primarch (like the Custodes) or a more harsher approach would have followed, after all obody would deny the Emperor whatever he wanted without facing dire consequences), it's not that the Emperor wasn't a diplomat, many times the Ultramarines, Emperor's Children, Blood Angels and Sons of Horus would get the comply of worlds through pacific means and even help rebuild what was destroyed in case of war, but at the time the most important thing was the swiftness before the how? of taking a planet.

3- Yeah Uriah was right, that's maybe the only thing that the Emperor wasn't capable of understanding the inherent desire of humanity of believing in something more "trascendental"
