If everyone's already heard it, why are Stormcloaks still out there? Because that argument isn't some kind of God argument that instantly nullifies the opposition. I've pointed out above that this division due to religion, and the divide between Skyrim and the Empire, happened at the White-Gold Concordat, not because of the rebellion. The rebellion was a symptom of those already existing divisions. The damage was already done. The only way to   galvanise Skyrim to any sort of effective resistance against the Thalmor is if it is independent. This was all addressed in previous threads, Jauffre, an argument you had to drop out of because you couldn't keep up. The reason there are still Stormcloaks is because the reasons for each side were designed to be equally compelling. An answer to this debate is likely never to be found, and if it is, will occur at a far higher level of discussion.
