Talos destroyed their empire and forced them into his, wouldn't you be mad as well? The Thalmor hate anyone who isn't a mer or supporter of the Dominion, they even went so far as to kill High elves, don't compare them to the pure Altmer and Bosmer. It isn't that they want to destroy the place, just they are willing to do it just to be gods again.

It's still disputed about the moon thing because can you deny that the Altmer have powerful magic compared to the other races.

Overall, the Thalmor don't have the support of the Altmer, just the support of the Thalmor and that is it. True, and all Mer are wrong about that.

And that was a good thing he did, destroying their empire.

Of course I would be mad but I wouldn't have deserved it, like they in fact did.

So, no true scotsman?

But that's the thing, MER WERE NEVER GODS!

They hail from the same place all Race do.

I very much deny they have powerful magic, smoke and mirrors.

Charlatans, decievers etc.

The problem lies in the Altmer/Mer worldview, Thalmor are just a symptom. Who are we to say their religion is wrong just because we decided that they were evil? Deserved it, why did they deserve it? The third empire deserved to be conguered. Why, because we are benefiting from it, that's why? The Dominion was a empire for the Khajiit, Bosmer, and Altmer and Tiber Septim just destroyed it. Not every Race comes from the same place. Paler humans come from Atmora. Redguards came from Yokuda. Mer came from Aldmeris. The only race to have come from Tamriel is the Argonians and Khajiit (And the other beastfolk) I believe the mer were divine at one point. Every religion states to it. They live longer, are better at magic which comes from divine influence and the divine pantheon comes from Elf religion.
