>They know exactly what they're doing. They know the Imperium doesn't care about them, or even pretends to. They know they get treated like shit all day every day for things they'll never see, and many of them figure out that it all ends up going to nothing by feeding some nobles ball.
>When they go to Chaos, or to the Tau, or desert, or rebel, it's because of the Imperium failing to prove why they shouldn't.
And as such they are selfish creatures placing their own immediate survival over the survival of mankind and their own descendants. That's the price of species survival.
>You said that GW is wanking the tau above all, when in reality they wank the space marines and imperium (in that order) far and above literally anything else. The Eldars entire new plotline got shitcanned in like three fucking novels. Grow up.
The Imperium has a reason for existing. Its existence is justified and shown to have extremely heavy costs in terms of totalitarianism and human suffering. You yourself are talking in your post about how the people are stomped under the boot of the Imperium to sustain the system at large.
The Tau have no such justification for their existence. It's wank because they don't have the necessary downsides to surviving in the world, and they're basically a mary sue species.
