the thalmor are justified in their actions.

sure, they may be somewhat evil and stuff, but lets look at it from another point of view:

o do this? you make too many assumptions. and its not like they are the ONLY ones who think like that. but they're the ones actively doing it, and they have the forces to do this if they aren't stopped; and no, these aren't assumptions, that is litterally the Thalmor goal. well, yes. and what do you think would happen if they werent actively doing it? you think that everyone would just settle down, and leave eachother alone? no, some preacher would probably come and attack them, probably trying to rebuild talos's empire or something. and they need to attack to defend for a simple reason...
