all right, fine, thalmor are quite racist, but their ultimate goals do not involve destruction of one race or the other, but the destruction of the world of nirn, they are not reclaiming any sort of land from anyone, because in perspective, it is not their land but it is considered their prison, which lorkhan had built.

i stand by my point that the goals of thalmor and, by extension, the aldmeri dominion do not involve any matters of state, as they are already living in their own. but since this is elder scrolls, and the laws of the universe are very much different from other fantasy worlds and real life, they will destroy this land to essentially become "gods" again. there will not be a nation of mer. they are treating bosmer as canon fodder as it is. they do not view themselves as chosen people, because they CHOSE to FOLLOW and worship auri-el and his offspring as entities, they have not been directly chosen by them. such a thing can be only achieved through daedra which are not, so to speak, sleeping entities like the divines or other aedra, because these entities act through proxies more often than not. why auri-el? again, prison concept.

btw you're basically putting side by side an organization meant to build a country that became irrelevent decades ago, to an ideology that almost destroyed mankind forever.
