User blog:Zippertrain85/I was wrong the whole time, the Empire is right.

Hello everyone, so last night in my sleep, I came to a sutnning conclusion. The Empire has been right the entire time. All of these pointless debates defending the Stormcloaks, saying how good they are, etc. All for nothing, because now I see, that the Empire is the better side for the following reasons:

"Ulfric and the Stormcloaks are racist"

Yes, they really are. Now before any of you Stormcloaks say something like "but the decree of monument says the Dunmer aren't citizens, and the Argonians were homeless inside the city" just stop! Because let's be realistic here, Bethesda is known for being lazy, why would they put this much effort to show Ulfric & the Stormcloaks are racists, just to have them not be? It makes no sense, really and it goes against how they act. So, it's only fair to assume that the Stormcloaks are really just racist, since Bethesda put the evidence for that in-game, everything else is probably a minsinterpretation, since the Decree of Monument obviously applies to Solstheim, not Skyrim, for example.

"Ulfric just wants to be High King"

Yes, he actually does. Even a lot of his friends admit this, who would obviously know him better then us the gamers would, right? Again, with Bethesda's laziness, they would only add this in the game if it were true, and wouldn't make the truth so cryptic to begin with. So due to a large amount of NPCs saying that he just wants to be High King, odds are, he probably does. Also, the fact that Ulfric shouted Torygg to pieces even though he respected him and probably would've helped him if he had just asked, instead he had to start this pointless war,

"The Thalmor will destroy the Stormcloaks in the second great war"

They will. Let's consider this, the Thalmor have Elven and Glass Armor, with a lot of magical aptitude. And higher numbers due to all of this recovery time (it's a fake world, they don't need to follow the laws of logic and reproduce left to live longer). While the Stormcloaks have really small numbers (Probably only in the thousands due to the fact many people dislike them, and they only like Nords), they have crappy equiptment like iron weapons and cheap armor, and they distrust magic users. How would they win against the Dominion in anyway with this? Obviously the Empire needs to win in order to have any chance of destroying them, because these guys will do nothing good even if they do win, being racists and all.

"Ulfric is a pawn of the Thalmor"

He sure is. Read the Thalmor Dossier, it specicially says how they don't want either side to win, but how does that show Ulfric doesn't work with them? At the end of the day, he started the war, putting them in this beneficital position, so what's to say he isn't secretly working with them just to throw Skyrim under the bus. Or, even if he isn't, they taking advantage of him.

"Ulfric hurt innocents at the Markarth Incident"

The evidence is there that he did, Forsworn talk about how they're being mistreated in Markarth still, and they talk about how Ulfric did liberate the city long ago. It all adds up that the book which says all of this was true, and that Ulfric is a murdering tyrant, who needs to be stopped.

"Ulfric Admits he's wrong in Sovngarde"

Yes, he does, since again back to the Bethesda point, why would they be so cryptic. Are they ever like that with anything? Especially the Civil War which has NOTHING to do with the main questline. So it's pretty clear this is in to show Ulfric knows his cause is a joke and only weakened Skyrim.

Well, I hope you all see now why the Empire is better. I'm sorry Imperials for debating for so long, because now I see the truth! :)

He sure is. Let's consider, why would Ulfric be so blind
