Are you arguing the book is propaganda or the society of the book is heavily propagandized? The book itself is not propaganda if you fully read it. The horrors of war are on full, gruesome display. Heroism, cowardice, death, and dismemberment to the humans and arachnids. The society of the book is heavy on the propaganda, but the book itself is not propaganda.
In the books it’s explained the man is missing his legs specifically to scare people away and show them the potential consequences of service, so people really understand what can and does happen and do not sign up just for fleeting glory or to look cool.
It’s affordable for people looking for a new car, people with lower income would look for a used car, or would not be in the market at all.
People living paycheck to paycheck are not shopping for a brand new car, they shop used if they’re even in the market.
Much like a volatile currency, though I suppose a better example would be an asset like gold or silver, except you can instantly sell bitcoin back. Look at it less like a currency and more like an asset.
Same thing with an apple pay feature possibly. Might real time sell the coins and convert to cash in the payment process, or if it’s an established coin the business may eventually just accept it like cash or debit.
30k to 35k is affordable for a new car. The average price for a new car in 2024 was $47870, and an Edmunds survey shows new car buyers are looking for $35k or less.

I thought Syria was safe now outside of the Golan occupied region?
Wikipedia considers New Caledonia, Western New Guinea, the Andaman Islands, Argentina, Australia, British Kenya, the Canary Islands, Fiji, French Algeria, Generalplan Ost, Hawaii, Hokkaido, Ireland, Israel/Palestine, Italian Libya and East Africa, Kashmir, Korea and Manchukuo, Latin America, Liberia, New Zealand, northern Afghanistan, North America, Posen and West Prussia and German South West Africa, Rhodesia, Sápmi, South Africa, South Vietnam, and Taiwan to be settler regions and countries. So Australia would be in the same boat as New Zealand, maybe there’s some context missing since I am not from New Zealand and looking at this from Western Europe.
Space Marines sell the most, so they get the most frequent support. Each faction has a very loyal and very ravenous fanbase though. Generally if someone is a “space marine fan” they’re either really new, or extremely old. It’s the people that are into the Imperium factions as a whole you should look out for.
