Ah, it's been a while since I did that "find some damn Culture fanfiction, it has to exist" project. Thanks for the link

the ideology of the Culture has always struck me as heinous

Yeah, me too. Still, the sheer number of the books I've read attests to the fact that they were astoundingly well-written, even so.

Of course, "we're evil but also kinda the good guys" seems like it would fit right into the 40k universe, eh? People always claim that's the theme of the Imperium, after all...

Yes, even taking into account that "enemies of the Culture always resemble modern Earth conservatives" seems to be a law of physics in the Culture universe. Must be the same parallel evolution that produces all those humanoid species.
