Glad to see you back Phantasys, it's been too long.

I have to ask if you truly believe there is no difference when it was you yourself arguing how the Thalmor plan to bring down all of creation. The Empire has no such plans. While yes there is arrogance within both the Thalmor and the Empire, the Stormcloaks have just as much pride it could almost pass as arrogance. It blinds them in much the same way arrogance does.They believe it's their "nord way" or the sword.

While the Thalmor want an all elf domination, the Stormcloaks want an all Nord domination, except their idea is just localized to Skyrim for the time being. At least with Empire society, all the cultures are mixed and accepted.
