Likely we don't hear about it in Skyrim because the Thalmor want to keep it secret that they don't have total control over their lands. Unlike the loud and confrontational dissidents seen in the common rabbles you call Stormcloaks the ones who keeps quiet are the ones who are dangerous.

For example, whenever I roleplay a dissident of the Empire. I don't play as a common Stormcloak footsoldier.

My Anti-Empire characters are the ones who hypocritically stand with the Battleborns in the day and public to cheer "Long live the Empire!" but in the dark, goes to slit the throat of Empire supporting Jarls throats or poison the wells used by Imperial aligned cities.

It is not a hypothetical scenario, it's a given just like the Empire and AD/Thalmor in order to get an edge over the other in the cold war. A natural result of what has happened. What is necessary, what is required, what is a standard issue.

The main question is how strong are the "silent" and "hypocritical" dissidents in the Aldmeri Dominion.
