It's not the fact that i'm a newcomer, in fact to be honest it is getting quite insulting that whenever I claim differentiation or errors, you acknowledge me as a newcomer. Technical difficulties result in prevalent lack of responses for me. This one might not even show up for all that I know, but i'm trying anyway.
I get it, I'm sorry its just really hard for me trying to read it. I've had technical difficulties as well, I unjustly assumed it was because of you being new and I apologize for that. please do whatever id most convenient
Bias? Definitely, but true nonetheless.
It still isn't true, you should read what I have to say. my argument presented some pretty valid points that the book doesn't go into detail on or just completely lied to you about. How could Ulfric kill Nords in Markarth if the Forsworn don't like anyone else being in the Reach but the Forsworn? How could Ulfric have supposedly, killed all the Reachmen when there are still Reachmen from the Markarth Incident in Markarth? How could the Reach be recognized as a nation by the Empire if the Empire wanted control of the Reach and were Huge enemies of the Reachmen? These are questions that need to be answered and questions "The Bear of Markarth" never went into further detail on, or just completely lied to you about. He's a damn Forsworn sympathizer, you shouldn't expect any valid information. Especially since Igmund was there and refuted what Arianus actually had to say, stating that the Forsworn "refused their offers of peace". So basically you're holding the opinion of some scholar over the opinion of someone who was actually there. No such atrocities were committed and if they were provide me with evidence that says so other than citing "The Bear of Markarth"
"Ulfric Stormcloak not only had anyone associated with the Forsworn executed after they surrendered, but also had anyone else executed without regard to race, age or gender if they had failed to assist the Nord militia in its campaign against the Forsworn."-Uesp.Wiki/lore/Forsworn.
You don't get my point. You claimed that the Legions are doing a horrible job of protecting people, yet the Empire survived the Great War preventing your deaths. I'd say they did a damn good job.
They held the line very well and bravely but unfortunately gave up when a lot of people wanted to keep fighting. Leading to Rebellion.
I'm sure that the Empire didn't want to give up either, but they did what they knew was the right thing. Be serious. If you were in a fight with someone trying to protect your friend and both of you were beat to high Hell in pain, then The other person pulled a knife to your throat saying "If you don't give up then I will kill you and your friend!" While your friend is behind you similarly beat up shouting for you to give up, what would you do? Again, be real.
You are highly overreacting.
No I'm not.
You were never treated as "lesser beings"
We were by the Thalmor who were legally allowed to persecute and wipe out our most important god by your delegation.
So you are blaming the Empire for the Thalmor's views over men? Tell me, can you name any other time that Nords were treated as "lesser beings" by the Empire as a whole? Let me clarify that again, you were NEVER treated as anything less than an Imperial citizen.
if you're a citizen of the Empire, then you obtain and evaluate the same rights granted to you as they are to everyone else. You clearly have the freedom to worship whoever you want, you just have to be quiet about it.
Not going to happen, you're obviously not a religious man(granted neither am I)or have ever heard testaments of Religious people facing persecution. You can't just hide your religion; if it were that simple how effective would the Holocaust have been? If the Jews could just hide their religion, they wouldn't have been killed, right? Now obviously the scale of the persecution isn't as large as what the Jews had to go through and I'm not trying to compare the two, because ultimately they're completely different, but the idea of hiding your religion, especially when we're talking about stubborn Nords and their traditions, isn't an effective solution. It's basically like telling them to say "In Public pretend like your god that you've worshiped for a very long time and who is kind of your most important deity, doesn't exist or be butchered"- Wait, no that's exactly what you're saying.
On the contrary, I'm actually a Catholic who goes to church every Sunday, Monday and Saturday. I'm a lead singer in the church choir, senior alter server and enrolling for The Knights Of Columbus, whom are veteran contributors to the diocese of the area. So don't you dare tell me what I am or am not. No, you are utterly incorrect about the Holocaust. Touching on this time of history, I HIGHLY recommend you research before you post. I'm not even going to touch on that subject. Anyone can hide their religion, it's not hard. If I wanted forgiveness, I could easily get on my knees and pray in my household. I don't need a church. In fact, The church is generally seen in two ways: the visible and invisible. The visible church is comprised of all those who attend services, who claim to be Christians, etc. The invisible church is comprised of individuals who are not present at the church, praying at home, ect. So yes, I would "hide my faith" (even though I'm not religiously hiding it at all) to live another day and resume to preach the faith.
5. You are generalizing now and reverting back to roleplay due to lack of validity in your counter arguments.
When was I roleplaying in that statement? I didn't roleplay once in my last post.
"You've failed to keep them out, Imperial we fight to preserve our way of life and you allow the only people who want to oppress us within our borders." If it's not then i'm sorry, but that sounds a bit like RP to me.
