and it’s not even just the right choice, it’s the choice that actually results in what the Stormcloaks supposedly want. Ulfric’s rebellion exclusively serves to benefit the Aldmeri Dominion he supposedly hates, whereas a unified empire at least has a chance to resist the elves.
Although if you really wanna dig into it, it makes zero sense that the Aldmeri were able to somehow build up enough of an army to attack the empire and enforce the White-Gold Concordat to begin with. Especially considering Hammerfell was able to beat them on their own. TES writers basically giga-nerfed the empire to allow the war to even happen.

The Aldmeri Dominion - Ulfric things always seems like something to repeat. It’s not like he was paying tithe to them or anything. Just because they want him in power doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be, and paying to that line of though only leads to more trouble. You see Skyrim mostly liberate itself, if the elves had helped or offered assistance, I think this claim would have been made to be more intentional rather than the oft-repeated reddit-spteak it is.

Honestly, with how the settings timelines are dictated by heros and divine lineages id actually figure every major event that doesn’t go as expected means a figure of legend has influenced it in some way or another.
So when it comes down to it, whoever you choose is kinda unimportant, as neither side seems very prepped to deal with the dragon threat without the dragon born, and Parthanax is unlikely to hold the dragons back from their dominating nature forever.
I just look forward to smashing the Dominion when the time finally comes
