Oh I'm not suggesting you're using the propaganda, that's more of a comment towards the only other pro-stormcloak person in this discussion. The Empire hate the Thalmor just as much, and as the Imperial Soldiers will mention, "The Empire is what is keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim" That translates to "If the Empire isnt here, you're going to be fighting a real invasion". It makes sense to "play nice" for the time being till a counter offensive can be made. Whatever, I don't like The Empire because they can treat small crimes for big punishments. I know it's needed to take care of things, but you at least need to know the positive steps. The Stormcloaks can at least loosen the grip of steel at least a little.
