User blog comment:JoshofBlades/Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks! (part 2)/@comment-1877998-20111123164824

The empire is corrupt. They submitted to the Thalmor and gave into their demands. My home is ruled by a bunch of selfish high elfs who think they're better than everybody else. The empire has sided with my enemies. They've chosen their side. Freedom of religion is something everyone should have. If the empire wins this war the Thalmor will get their way. If they get their way with Skyrim, home of one of the toughest and most independent races, whos to say Black Marsh or Elsweyre won't be next. If we let the Thalmor win this war then this is the end of all hope.
