Told my W40k nerd coworker that if I was born a human in that universe I'd try and defect to the Tau. He said: "so you'd rather be a house cat than a lion?" (hexbear.net)

Lion? If you're a human in 40k you're more likely to be a mangy street cat forced to work in a factory processing other cats into fancy feast. Fuck yeah I'll be the Taus little pet over that, I can work in at a space turnip farm or something, maybe they'll give me little human treats.

Yeah, the OG grim darkness of the Tau was that they were a young and much smaller space empire that only existed because everyone else was too busy fighting each other to wipe them out. It's actually grim and dark storytelling, that the best hope for the galaxy are also the faction least capable of ever actually winning this perpetual war, just due to a massive resource imbalance.
