I see the whole thing as a (now) rather obvious parallel with what is happening in America today. The Thalmor could represent China, or the globalists. Obama is the weak emperor that claims to be serving the Empire while making one concession after another to vanity and unmitigated capitalist greed.
Perhaps that isn't fair. Perhaps he really is trying. But whatever you believe about the present administration, the end result, in either Skyrim or the US, is this is NOT the empire we used to know and love.
This is a fascist regime of vanity, greed, and what amounts to genocide by neglect of present threats or in Skyrim's case, outright overt actions.
I see new technologies emerging to invade our privacy, spy on us within our homes, even within our bodies and our minds, and I see our "leaders" selling away our rights to, essentially, a massive multinational reality TV show, where pig-headed little Nazi cowards sit in a dark room stroking their egos while they experience vicariously what it feels like to live as the slaves they torture and destroy.
I believe the US would be WELL within its rights to bring the full force of the modern American military down on these spoiled wealthy bastards. Wipe them out before they destroy what's left of the free world. I absolutely support the outright declaration of WAR against them ALL enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is EXACTLY what these greedy rapists represent.
I see the bloodiest war in human history right over the horizon. I see racism and vanity and greed justifying the most disgusting invasion of privacy ever conceived and people doing absolutely nothing about it.
I have never been a violent person, but I would absolutely support the drone assassination of everyone remotely involved in this truly EVIL invasion of the body by technology for entertainment.
I hope the military catches on and does what is right. I hope every single one of these monsters are wiped out.
I can hear the arguments now: "But we paid good money to murder the Jews!"
