I go with the Empire. Yeah, they tried to execute me when all I did was hijack a caravan of sweetrolls meant for the Jarl of Markarth. But that whole "kill him anyway" bit is just an obvious ploy to bias the player against the Empire from the start and to try to bring them even with the faction of racist assholes who are just fighting for tradition. And that's a tradition that most citizens of Skyrim seem to have moved on from anyway.

When you think about it, the Stormcloaks are definetly the bad guys as the parallels they have with the Nazi's is quite shocking.
Angry with a peace treaty they were forced to accept: Versailles/White-Gold
Hates minority groups: Jews,Slavs,etc/Non-Nords
Will make the nation great again.
Charismatic leader and ex-soldier who claims to be doing things for his ideal people: Hitler and Aryans/Ulfric and the Nords.
Attempted overthrow of elected government: Munich Putsch/Stormcloak rebellion.

Skyrim belongs to the true nords, the Stormcloaks! At least until they take the Empire out of the equation. Then I'll slaughter them all like cattle and my High Elf will become the Matriarch of all of Skyrim.
Well so far, I'm kind of neutral in this conflict.
On one hand, the Imperials did ban Talos worship. Which makes it understandable why the Nords would be pissed.
On the other hand, the Stormcloaks seem like a bunch of xenophobic nationalists. They pretty much treat anyone who isn't a Nord like garbage.
So for now, I'm not really choosing a side. I think the true enemy would be whoever is responsible for all the dragons invading Skyrim right now.

I was going to side with the Stormcloaks but i overheard Ulfric talk about attacking Whiterun.
I went straight to Solitude and signed up for the Legion simply because I wanted to kill Ulfric.

Empire, they are the only hope of stopping the Aldmeri Dominion from conquering all of Tamriel.
Plus the Stormcloaks are Nazis.

I was going to join the Empire, but then I found out about the banning of Talos worship and that gatekeeper that they executed in Solitude said that Ulfric challenged the King to a duel and won and that the Empire branded him a murderer rather than respect the customs of Skyrim, so I decided that they don't deserve power in Skyrim anymore.
Lets be honest here...
Since i completed the dark brotherhood questline HOW THE F@&^ WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO JOIN THE IMPERIAL LEGION NOW?!!!!!!!?
Stormcloaks if only because they didnt try to chop off my head.

I was going to join the Stormcloaks but when I got to Windhelm the first thing I overhear is something along the lines of "damn filthy dark elves cant be trusted" which was just the final straw, so I decide to join the empire just for a chance to kill some of these racist pricks
Not joined either at the moment. I was going to join The Stormcloaks until I got to Windhelm and saw what pricks could be. Not seen any reason to join the empire, what with them nearly killing me and the fact their sucking up to the Thalmor who have already sent a few hit squads my way.
I instantly went Empire and didn't really even consider Stormcloak an option. The Empire has done a lot of good for Skyrim and the rebels never really gave me a convincing argument to make up for their xenophobia and child murderer of a leader
I find the Empire's peace agreement with the Thalmor to be a lot less offensive than most of the Stormcloak voters seem to think. Everyone knows there'll be another war; the Empire just had to buy some time to recover. The Stormcloaks stand no chance against them without a united Empire either. Sometimes solutions are more complicated than murdering a kid
Made more sense to me as a lawful good warrior too
