I think what he means is that those who side with the Empire and say they fight for Skyrim are under the beliefs that the Empire is what is the best interest for Skyrim and for good reasons to....Skyrim has always been part of the empire and both the empire and skyrim has always been good for eachother.... until now that is, but there are some who wishes to preserve that "goodiness"

Rikke explains it well. She fights for what she belief is the best skyrim

Hence there is no "good" or "bad" scenario in the civil war questline.... Just sides with different opinions on what is best for the country. There is something for you to think about !
