I can see the argument for joining the legion: some people might dislike Ulfric, others might think the best way to stop the Thalmor is by having a unified Empire, some people might want to make Dunmer and Argonians 1st class citizens in Windhelm, some people may see Elisif as a competent ruler.

I understand that some people think those things. But I think differently. I think Ulfric is the rightful King and would make a good, if not great, ruler, I think the best way to stop the Thalmor in the long term is by having the nations of free men be allies, but also fully independent as I no longer see Dominion of one province over another as a good idea. I think that the Dunmer and Argonians are being kept in check until the war ends and then are given a chance to prove themselves, and I think Elisif would make a caring, but ultimately weak and ineffective ruler.

Also, I don't understand the =/= sign, so if someone could explain that to me that would be great.
