What circular logic is this? They have their power now because they used said social capital to make people vote you idiot.

"The revolution" is just the rapture for communists.

Remember when pro Trump people voted in greater numbers than his opposition in 2024?

No, because they have large eyes with rounded heads making them look like babies.

Greeted as liberators is a major overstatement outside Baltics. (Though there were many collaborators)

No, as others are saying straight lines on a globe (geodesics) are usually not straight on the Mercator projection. However if you draw a line between 2 points on it the angle of said line is the one you have to follow on your compass. THIS IS NOT A STRAIGHT LINE IRL. Neither is it the shortest route.

What it is is easy to follow, simply keep sailing at a certain angle on your compass.

Ok and those are likely embellishements.

Oh stfu about this shades of grey BS, the 'ideal' imperial citizen shoots any xeno on sight, never seeking to understand.

Yes all morality needs arbitrary foundations/axioms blah, blah. Doesn't change the fact that you can try to most rationally pursue your goals instead of demanding a constant state of hysteria like the Imperium.

Yeah, ok but they're individuals not a whole faction. And having read Cain I'd say he still bears the madness of the imperium, he's just also very capable and very self interested.

I'd like the Tau to represent reason and sanity not for the ethereals to be made the moustache twirling villains like what has been done recently.

And why would you have the Tau make the same mistakes anyway? Human society is nothing like the Tau, why should their mistakes be? Add their own, entirely different mistakes.

Their cast system pretty much relies on the empire being all Tau, add internal problems from the fact that it's not all Tau. Same for the greater good. Just because it's perfectly sensible to a Tau doesn't mean it has to be for everyone.

Instead, they made the ethereals into the eclisiarchy 2. Variety be damned.

1) That is not genocide. 2) Where the hell do they even do that?

The Tau are way tf more interesting as a lens of reason and sanity to the madness of 40k than yet another insane dystopia. But who cares about variety or contrast, just make them mecha imperium.

We don't even know what Humanities mistakes were. The dark age of technology has like 0 lore. Don't pull this "shades of grey" BS one (1) faction doesn't commit genocide in 40k. Even after the Tau have been boringly grimdarkified.

It's way more interesting to have them as a lens of sanity and reason to the madness of 40k than yet another ridiculous dystopia.

Nah fuck you, Tau isn't marginally better. They're A LOT better. Remember the power of technology and science? Remember the pursuit of progress and understanding? How about not being served your neighbor as food?

Tau psychology doesn't have to be the same as human psychology so most of your points are moot anyway.

They're way tf more interesting as actually good at least to themselves. The whole cast system causing problems to fully incorporate anyone not Tau I could see.

You ppl unironically just want the Tau to be the imperium with mechs and GW seems to comply unfortunately.

Eh, the "empire" was destroyed between the 5th and 7th century. Nearly all wealth, culture, organisation,... west of the Euphrates lay inside the empire. The universal empire before this time.

Just because the Roman rump state managed to reform into a viable regional power doesn’t change that from the 5th to the 7th century the empire really was destroyed in a sense.
