Agreed. They genuinely believe that they alone have the wisdom to rule Eorzea, and all counter arguments are heresy or the ignorance of misguided individuals. The Eorzean alliance sees it for what it is: The empire doesn't care about Eorzea's people, they only care about control. You only need to look at history to see that dictatorships generally are bad, no matter how they try to justify themselves as being for the greater good. Consider how many of Rome's Emperors were tyrants and despots, and how easily some of them gained power.

Eorzea simply wants to keep it's culture and traditions, it seeks alternative solutions to the Primals aside from genocide, Something the empire as a conqueror cannot understand. Conflict was inevitable.
