About the Godwin's Law bit. To be fair, the Thalmor fit the bill. They believe that their race is the closest to divinity. They don't want to just slaughter Man, they want to remove them from possibility. They don't want them to ever exist again. Then there's the ethical cleansing of Alinor and Valenwood. It's not hard to make the comparison here.
