Today I finally learned this quote really is from Skyrim, I keep conflating it with Sophie Scholl, who was executed by Nazis in WWII.

"It is such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go." is her iconic line.

While "my ancestors smile on me, imperialists can you say the same?" Sounds to me like a leftist's lasts words in WWII - the White Rose was actually far more effective. Their pamphlets were never so ideological, but were quite plain in fact and did well to appeal to liberals.

Thanks OP. Cute meme.

Interesting you hear the Skyrim quote that way, because I would interpret the character who says the quote to be more like a conservative nationalist.
