Which wouldn't be a problem if they were actually good at it. They did really sensible retcons in the past. The tau could be great, but the writers seem to lack the backbone to really ingrain them into the setting by making them as horrible as the rest. Is it really too much to ask for a tau to occasionally skullfuck a victim while wearing a cape in front of a burning orphanage? Maybe even twirl a mustache once or twice while collecting rent.
>It's commented how Space Marines in 40K are less free-thinking than 30K marines.
I suspect they already did similar shit during the original batch, because why not? Emperor having morals? But yeah, they still rebel, don't they? Non-SM even worse. I mean we are relying on the AdMech doing a good job for mind control to work, don't we? They probably lose a lot of recruits just by setting their brain on fire when they worship the wrong button.
>because they were purposely framed or just swpt from the streets to feed the industry of the Admech.
Absolutely. No way they wait for actual criminals to do crime to built their sweet gaming rig/doorknob. The point being that the imperium considers removing your free will an actual punishment for those that deserve further punishment post death. Meanwhile servo skulls are venerated as honorable and are supposed to have quirky traits of the original owners spirit still inhabitating them, simply because they want to think that there is still some free will in there. There are absolutely people in the imperium that would immediately mass mind control the populace, if given the chance, but there are also a lot of people, especially in the admech and the ecclessiarchy, that would consider that heresy due to "abominable intelligence" and "the perfection of humanity". If anything the massive ideological conflicts within the imperium (diversity is their retard strength) makes unified control of that kind impossible.
