    I haven’t played in so long. Why were Stormcloaks fascists again? I thought like the Altmer or those elves or whatever were supposed to be that

      Uh, you could describe the stormcloaks as an ethno-ultranationalists revolt being stoked within a prisonempire of Nations (cyrodillic empire) by ethno-supremacists (those high elf dweebs) in order to destabilize and possibly balkanize the only hegemonic power capable of combating their growing state.

        Ok gotcha so the high-elves are the US, the stormcloaks are Ukranian neo-nazis, and the Empire is Russia

          Yeah, in fact its more the Thalmor are actual Nazis who want to kill the Nord Nazi subhumans but need to crush the Empire first.

          That said the Empire is also really shit in it's own way. Just not in the way Skyrim says on the surface.
