User blog comment:Zippertrain85/"Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks" refuted (part 1)/@comment-11532953-20131210060926/@comment-11532953-20131213055459

I retract and apologise. Also my views on the issue have now changed. My stance is that Skyrim should not secede from the Empire but instead push for the Empire to revoke allegience to the White-gold concordat. Failing thus, the Emperor should die and be replaced by a more willing person as soon as possible.

The logic behind this is that Skyrim if at war with the Empire would be rendered completely ineffective at bringing war to the elves, from a geographical standpoint. A united front is required to defeat the Aldemeri dominion. The Empire is currently the largest human front and well placed to defy Aldemeri rule. Thus humanity should unite behind the banner of the Empire and wage war until the high elves meet the same fate as the snow elves.
