I hate the Stormcloaks with the red hot intensity of a thousand suns.
I would say this is definitely false. Outside of the diehards in Windhelm, no one is happy when the Stormcloaks win the war. On the contrary, you'll encounter quite a few people that tell you they think Ulfric is a liar and deceiver (the little girl at Darkwater Crossing says that Ulfric is a "bad man", Asgeir Snow-Shod says he thinks Ulfric only cares about himself, and the Jarls son in Riften says his cause might be true, but "the man is a lie").and most of the people tend to agree with him. I guess I'm just a sucker for the whole fight for freedom thing.
I can overlook the near execution by the imperials, I cannot overlook the bigotry of the Stormcloaks.
So... murdering an innocent person is more acceptable behavior than bigotry?
I can only speak for myself here, but in the case of the Legion almost executing me because it was strongly assumed I was in league with those who helped support a guy who just killed the High King, yes.
May I remind you that these are not modern times and if a group of people who let's say killed the president where seen and you Where with them do you think you'd get a trail a what makes you think that the stormcloaks who arrest people for thinking differently and are lead by a murderer would not execute youI strongly disagree. I do not feel that a "strong assumption" of one's guilt justifies execution. If there was concrete, indisputable proof of one's guilt, I could understand and excuse their actions. Or, if I was arrested on suspicion of supporting the rebellion and then given a chance to defend myself and prove my innocence, all right, that's fine. But what we learn from the opening scene of the game is that the Empire does not require any sort of proof beyond personal suspicion to chop a person's head off.
Imagine if a man was arrested today on no greater grounds than that he was found in the company of a band of wanted criminals at the time of their arrest. There is absolutely nothing that points to this man actually committing a crime, or being in league with said criminals. Yet, not only is the man denied any sort of trial or chance to defend himself, but he is immediately sentenced to death and sent to the electric chair. Would this be acceptable? Absolutely not. So why is the same scenario excused in Skyrim?
