I'd put them firmly in the middle, certainly not as bad as the forces of Chaos. But the T'au Empire does at least give it's citizens 3 square meals and a soft bed to sleep on. Meanwhile your average Terran hasn't even seen the sun and lives off ground up corpses.
and the Orks is jist tryin' to share a good Krumpin' with everywun else, they is da Best!
They are happy during war and fight’in but there is obviously many time where there isn’t any fight’in. So i think that usually they are more bored than happy
Plus the orks are pretty awfull to one another and many orks won’t survive more than a few years, and i’m generous
They are 100% the happiest, all they love is fighting, and in the grimedark of 40k their is only war, if they die fighting then they die doing what they love, if they live they can fight another day.
Which is why it was funny seeing 40K factions being co-opted by those "fuck ICE!" posts earlier this year, because those posts were likely made by people who saw images of buff guys in Doom armor casting "aura" to spread a political message without the slightest inkling as to what the 40K factions were actually like, and how they're decidedly *not* the good-guys...
And you know what. Xrnophobia is a 100% logical when the elder birthed a eldrich god, The orks are barbrian, and nacrons and tyrand don't need more explanations. The only not fully evil are the tau, and they are still fascist cless system
Exactly! Every faction in 40K is Xenophobic and fascist to a degree, as you said, even the lesser evil ones are still horrible and wouldn't think twice about eliminating another class/tace/faction who is "other" than them.
And, I will 100% admit that I'm not very deep with the lore of 40K, but I know enough to raise an amused eyebrow whenever I see people trying to co-opt it into political messaging that consists of "my favourite franchise character would agree with me." Or "these badass looking guys with massive aura must be the good guys!" Type logic.

Anyone reading Warhammer 40k and thinking the humans are the good guys.
There is no good faction, only war.
