Ever? Really? We all know every human in Tamriel wants to worship a human who ascended into godhood, you really think if the Empire became so overpowering that the Thalmor wouln't have a chance they would still follow the concordate? Or even just stong enough to whip 'em back to the Isles? I completely agree with Ulfic and fighting the Thalmor, and I'm pretty damn sure every single Imperial soldier is too, but a fight now would just shed blood for no progress. The Imperials see that, but Ulfic and his stormcloaks have no patience, they want to sing Talo's praise from the Throat of the World right now, and nobody's gonna tell them otherwise, even if it leads them down the road to be Dominion slaves in the end.

And yes I would be F**cking pissed if the government told be I can't go to Church(which lately seems like he's trying) but picking up my gun and heading to DC to blast him would just end up with me eating lead and not accomplishing a damn thing. Change; real, long lasting change, takes time and planning. Time that signing the concordate bought.

Personally I can't fathom how you think the empire is fine being told what to do, they only do it begrudgingly now because they don't have the strength to fight back.

Now I better quit before my feathers get any more ruffled.
