User blog comment:Sgt. S.S./Why I support the Empire/@comment-4692385-20120321055336

Quite honestly Ulfric and his "stormcloaks" are no better than the Thalmor. This war is not about religion or Skyrim it's about power for one man. The stormcloaks feel they are more superior and they pick on groups of people that can't defend themselves. For example the Dunmer refugees, the Khajiit merchants, the Argonian laborers which might as well be slaves. The reason why the Empire signed the White-Gold Concordant because it's better to live and fight another day rather then throwing it all on the line against the odds. People like to forget about the Oblivion Crisis weakening the Empire. People also like to forget how big and powerful the Thalmor really is. If the Empire falls the Stormcloaks have no chance of beating the Thalmor due to the amount of territory the Thalmor have.
