By "supporting" the Thalmor I mean do you qualify for at least one of these 4 criteria:
1. Would you willingly give a donation to the Thalmor Embassy?
2. Would you gladly carry out Elenwen's (or whoever the leader of the Thalmor is on Alinor) orders?
3. Are you a High Elf nationalist?
4. Do you believe that Talos is a false god
My character supports the Thalmor for a few reasons:
1. He can live in Skyrim and pursue his studies of the Arcane without being considered "impure" upon his return to the Dominion.
2. Supporting the popular political party ensures that his family will keep its prominent status as nobility (an Altmer going to Skyrim willingly makes people wonder, even if he did become Arch-Mage of an Arcane University and marry one of his own kind)
3. He believes Talos is a false God
4. He dosn't quite believe in the ultimate superiority over man, he just believes that since the Mer are descended from the Aedra, they should receive homage and more respect
Ok so I know most of you hate them because they attack you on sight, and I hate them for that too, but aside from that, let's say Skyrim allowed you to join them and they were friendly to you, would you then support them? How could you possibly turn down your race being superior to the others? And please try not to think through your 21st century filter, think as your character would in the medieval period (roughly when Skyrim takes place). I mean really, they ARE the pro-Elven political party, so why not support them?
