[Warhammer 40000] [Serious] How does does life of a Gue'vesa differ from the average Imperial Citizen?

For that matter how much is different in daily life? What is the core structure and values like?

How much or how little political freedom and rights do the Gue'vesa have to normal imperial citizens?

Generally speaking, it's slightly above average. Tau worlds tend to be better governed than Imperial ones and there is less focus on the whole "work till you die" mentality that most Imperial production centers have. The Tau focus on the communist-like principle of the "greater good" means you'll be giving the government pretty much everything you have anyway, but there is a good chance that some of it will make it's way back down to you.

Political freedom varies pretty wildly in the Imperium; planets range the entire spectrum from feudal serfdoms to democratic republics to tyrannical dictatorships. So your say in things as an Imperial citizen is mostly up to where you were born and how powerful your family is. However, Gue'vesa are almost unilaterally second-class citizens. The way Tau society works only the Ethereal caste actually have any sort of political clout but client species, like the Kroot or turncoat humans, have pretty much less than none. Your place in society is firmly to prop up the Tau bits of it and they'll make sure you know it, even if they go about it in a friendly way.

Once you pull away the trappings the fact is, you've traded one form of slavery for another. The Imperial way or the Tau way. The Imperials may be more brutal in their treatment of you but, at the end of the day, you are still a part of the team and they care about you as much as you are a human and thus like them. To the Tau, you are nothing more a tool. A tool to be taken care of, sure, but you'll never be anything more than that and need to know your place.
