Tau - Empire of Hypocrites | Warhammer 40k Entry 

People saying the Tau aren't as bad as the Imperium fail to recognize that the Imperium was once relatively noble, too.

I had no idea about the Tau god made in the warp! Same with the potential soul transfer with the Necrons!

I really enjoyed your video. I subscribed!

Greetings good sir. I must say your video gave me more than a few chuckles. I do understand the persona of Imperial loyalist, but some statements you've made were truly hilarious. The accusations of hypocrisy or calling the Tau Empire - Empire of lies - truly amusing when looking at other states within Milky Way Galaxy. The entire faith in the God Emperor - is built upon lies. Upon the words of First Heretic! Good Lord Gulliman said as much. The Imperium promises security - but gives none. The Imperium claims that Emperor loves it's people - when he didn't even love his own sons. The Imperium claims that the what is paid in to the Throne saves the Imperium, when so much of it is wasted by decadent nobility. I found it amusing that you failed to mention the Elemental Council - how despite the fact that Ethereals have the deciding voice - all Castes and member species of the Empire, have at least voice in politics. That those who are in positions of power, reached them by blood - not merit. Calling Ethereals "predators" is also amusing, seeing how Tau are predators by nature. Front facing eyes didn't come from nothing. And "Hunter Cadres" are named thus for a reason. And while it's true that Phill Kelly's books are very... unsubtle in regards to pheromone theory, it wasn't exactly confirmed. I mean - Mechanicus can detect a lot of stuff, but they didn't figure out if Ethereals have power of manipulation on their side? Bit weird. On the same note - I found it quite amusing that you didn't compare this ability to what Emperor was during during the great Crusade. Did he not manipulate millions and lie to their faces about the true nature of the universe? And for all their hypocrisy - and it does exist - the Tau Empire does provide for it's citizens. The promise of never going hungry or dirty - is true. Ecosystems of Hive Worlds are healed and people can breathe fresh air! I would even say that many Humans turn their backs on the Imperium, because Tau can provide for their basic needs. Including eating fresh food - and not minced corpses of their comrades. I'm sure that at least one regiment of Imperial Guard changed sides just because Tau provided each Guardsmen with the tortilla. I bet the taste of fresh vegetables and good meat was enough to change their hearts. It's also worth noting that Tau aren't greedy. Even Ethereals don't live in luxury that is so common among the Nobility of the Imperium. Tauva is true philosophy and they live by it, no matter if you want to admit it or not. Tauva - is not a destination - it's a path. Only a fool believes in perfection. Tau understand that. They know they will never reach the peak. But that doesn't matter. Because going in that direction - is RIGHT thing to do. And that is enough. I also appreciate how you Included Tauva Goddess and Necron theory into the video. And most importantly didn't mention the ludicrous notion that Eldar had something to do with the "creation" of Tau. An idea born from minds of those who never met a member of that race I'm sure. I'm also impressive how comprehensive - although clearly biased - your video is. As such - as fellow creator I will recommend it to my viewers. I'm also open to have a discussion about whatever subject is of interest to you. I wish you pleasant and safe day.

neat thing about the kroot is they arnt part of the tau empire unlike the rest of the vassal races they are close tied trade partners and will gladly give their life to the tau for saving their homeplanet but the kroots sensitive senses could smell what the ethereals tried to do and told them to go away, they would talk to a watercaste but not an ethereal they are mercenaries on an extreme discount but not vassals

"people are unequal and there's a cast system and they lie to people" i'm sorry but coming from the imperium that is rich.

This reminds me of the early days of the Amber King and Lutin. Keep going

I like the detail that this is being read out by a clear zealous follower of the imperium. The not-so-subtle jabs at the T'au all through out the video. While still being informative. I do believe a warhammer+ show went into this topic briefly at the end when a stealth suit leader tasked with killing an exodite. But when she finally got to him. He basically explained that the greater good was nothing more than an excuse to hide behind, or a rally cry to perform atrocities. The Imperium knows it's place, has accepted that the galaxy is untamable. War and chaos are a constant. But the T'au's naivete leaves them believing this galaxy can be brought to peace and order. Many have tried and failed, fallen and risen up to try again. The 'Tau are just the next in line, promising upstarts, but totally unaware of the vast ocean of insanity they've entered. And even now they are beginning to see, the flaws in their beliefs, the cracks in the society. The farsight enclave proves that it's not as perfect as they try to act. For how could any of them brake off if it wasn't? The supposed equality is an illusion, and the ethereals become more and more aggressive in their supression to keep people in line. The T'au are regularly called the least bad faction,but that is only because they have no wisened themselves to what they truly must do to survive. They have no found themselves forced to commit atrocities. Their empire not large enough to force them to realize that sometimes the simplest most vile answers have to be chosen then waste endless resources and time to fix a problem that can't be fixed. They are children, maturing, and soon they will reach a breaking point soon enough. Like all the galaxies empires, if they aren't destroyed first, they will experience their fall from grace. And attempt to claw their way back much like the imperium tried. The cycle of this galaxy to any who would attempt to conquer it will not end with them. Also glad you didn't hit on the 'eldar started the T'au' theory. Even as a currently light lore head of 40k. I cannot see a reason for it. I even considered that Chaos had a hand in it and the ethereals made a pact with them similiar to the emperor. And either the ethereals are doing everything they can to protect the T'au from chaos while breaking the bargain. Or...... it's not true because nothing about the T'au screams chaos to me. They are almost invisible to the warp entities with only extreme individuals like Farsight getting any attention at all, and their very ideals scream the opposite of chaos, pure order and peace.

18:15 "PredaTAU, get it? Predatau. Ok."

I stick to the idea that a last remaining "Old One" set up the warp storm, picked the Tau for uplifting to be the last weapon against the Necrons. They were supposed not stir the warp, hence no payers, but rely on technology which can rip apart quite few races besides the Necrons. I think said old one got harlequins to help by being or claiming to be Ceogorach, the laughing God. Old Ones were good at shaping DNA and evolution, and were God like in control of pure warp, and made the eldar and orks as 2 examples. Plus I think the Necrons want a species superior to Tau in longevity, and height, similar to what their metals indicate.

FOR THE GREATER GOOD

A lot of times people who call out others for shitty things they do are called hypocrites. But in rare cases these types are call outs are probably the most accurate because the hypocrites can actually see someone copying the same shitty tactics they’ve already used.

Yalk more about the Tau auxiliaries and mechs

I got recommended this video this absolute poggers, can you do a video on FARSIGHT ENCLAVE

5:40 the tribes where divided into their elemental castes before the arrival of the ethereals they changed from tibes into casts after the ethereal organized peace but its basically the same thing most of the warring was done between the nomadic firetribes and the fortresses of the earthtribes while negotiations where done via the watertribe traders along the riverways who used the airtribes for communication both had to do favors for the firetribes to avoid their ire tho not too many favors since the earthtribe being the ones that produces everything where the best target even if they where the hardest the castes or their tribe equivalent are so old that they probably predate civilization, most likely sentience, as that kind of time is needed to genetically diverge so significantly for a race with as stable genetics as the tau

👍👍👍❤❤❤

Hell yes! New 40k lore channel to become addicted to!

Interesting video. Very curious to see how you handle Farsight.

The true horror of Chaos, Tyrranids and The Imperium are relatively obvious. The Necrons and Astartes are a more subtle Horror of humanity lost in exchange for power, to much to be a good deal-to little to be merciful in becoming so alien you do not miss it so... The Tau are more subtle still. The tau are good, in 40k. However, any other sci-fi world they would be evil-think of the dromion from Star trek, with the Jem Hadar and their many clones worshiping them as gods. The Tau are the most good because they are merely Incredible evil. Like China is doing EVEN NOW, they have Propoganda, Reeducation camps, Sterilization, and all the other trappings of Facism. The fact this empire is the most good in Warhammer 40k, in spite of this, is simply a testament too Warhammers Sheer Fucking Darkness. Thiers is the Horror of the setting. The Horror of a grimdark future, where there is only war...

I will watch your career with great interest. 👀

lol "preda-tau"

Another great video... Thanks

*dials local inquistor and loads bolter* now why by holly terra would you disagree with the imperial iterators?

Still not as hypocritical as the Space Wolves xD Can't deny I'm pretty interested by what they're going to do with this representation of the Tau'va in the warp :o

All lies, with the exception of the psychic polar bears!

Great work boss.👍🏾

I noticed the way you pronounce the word "righteous" bothers me a bit. But you're probably going to tell me that's actually the correct way to pronounce it, what do I know😅. Your videos are very entertaining 👍🏻

For the Emperor!!!!!

Hypocrisy is the least of 40k's ills, lol.

This channel has amazing potential... but please shorten your intro. Less than 10 seconds is ideal.

For the greater good!

As a farsight follower some of the imperial tone is not appreciated, but like everything in 40k the truth needs to be gained by hearing from all sides and mediated on and understood to find the workable solution. (good Job CoA keep up the good work) One thing is for sure those sneaky Ethereals "they cannot be trusted". My belief is they are not Tau at all, or at least not anymore... Malice maybe looking for a power grab 😉 hes not adverse to the long game.

Great video!

Whole video just sounds like imperial properganda. 😂

They may not be perfect, but their evils are INFINITLY more tame than anyone elses in the galaxy.

How dare you insulting the children of the Greater Good!

The Imperium are still the functionally dumbest-in-universe faction. It still annoys me they're the only human facrion. The Eldar are the worst-written. And the Necrons are the worst-world-built. The Tyranids almost flirt with the same crappy worldbuilding pitfalls as the Necrons, but the in-universe explanation of the Tyranids' powerful nature makes light-years more sense than any of the hand-waiving bullsh*t to explain how the Necrons do-- well --literally anything.

Woah! Did you run this by your local political officer before posting it!? Wouldn't want your ignorant opinion to affect the loyal imperial citizens! After all The Tau have always been our allies against the tyranid menace! Oh wait sorry we have always been at war with the Tau! Thankfully we have a local government and religion to help guide us through these hard times.

i hate the tau god idea thats simply not how gods work and no, eldar arnt an example of me being wrong the eldar where custom crafted by the old ones as godmakers the tau are the opposite even if it could work it would take hundreds of thousands of years, and even then the tau empire would have to psan the galaxy and not the few dozen stars that it does
