Here's a few reasons why I can't stand the Stormcloaks, and can't understand their supporters:

Firstly, everyone (at least, everyone that I know) that has played Civilization knows that if you're out-trooped during a war, you call a truce so you can regroup. Then you attack your enemy again once you have enough resources. I've always viewed what the Imperials did as simple tactics, and I fail to understand how no one else can see that. They always seem to think that the White-Gold Concordat is going to be permanent.

Secondly, while Imperials have a lot of greedy opportunists like Maven Black-Briar on their side, the Stormcloaks have a lot of idiots -- such as Skald the Elder and Laila Law-Giver-- supporting them.

Lastly, Ulfric's war is supposed to be about fighting against the Dominion, right? Then why in the name of Oblivion do you never see him, or any of his men, raise a blade against the Thalmor? There's an Embassy in Skyrim. Why don't they attack it? Why don't they raid a Thalmor prison, and free captured Talos worshippers? Why did he turn this into a fight against the Empire?

Apologies, I'm perhaps taking this a bit too seriously. But every time I see someone who blindly follows Ulfric, I just wanna take a sword in the gut. It irks me immensely.
