I always liked the Tau but I never got further than painting some figures and playing one or two skirmishes with a friend. Do the Tau suck in some way?
I'm not too deep into 40k lore, but I think it ended up being something along the line of classic anti-communist brainworms, about how any good ideology is actually just a smokescreen so a small elite can rule over everyone with lies and manipulation, because obviously a society couldn't actually pursue a noble goal without there being an ulterior motive. Also, collectivism bad, individualism good, Tau bad for disrespecting :freeze-peach: and forcing ideology on others.

Wait do you have a link? Sorry I’m lazy googlewise but you’re saying they aren’t buddhist trots anymore?

The Tau have always had a caste system ruled over by a small clique of ethereals since the beginning. They've never been good.
