the thalmor are justified in their actions.

sure, they may be somewhat evil and stuff, but lets look at it from another point of view:

the thalmor are litterally hated in all corners of the globe except their home. if they didnt attack, the imperials would have invaded them at some point, and there would be thousands of adventurers just wandering around massacring thalmor for their opinions. if they DIDNT enforce their opinions, their entire country would go to hell. it isnt as if you never see nords picking on elves, or anything. hells teeth, I think I have seen more racism from nords then thalmor. Then the elves should have enforced their borders, they didn't have to conquer everyone else and force their ideals onto the other races. There is a fine line between self defense and being a complete jerk. but if they only focus on defending themselves, then they grow in power slower then the other races, as they have smaller population growth. the other races would outpace them in only about a thousand years, then invade them, and kill them. this is the only real way for them to survive!
