"You said being blunt means Ufric can't be power hungry".

Yeah no not really I'm not really denying that in general I'm denying your reasons for stating he is power hungry you don't really give any reasonable examples you try to relate these people to him but each of these people have different methods and traits that just don't correlate with anything that Ulfric says or does in-game at all your stating that they are all power hungry and blunt ok but that isn't why they are power hungry I'm stating that Ulfric cant be compared well to your examples because most of his actions would contradict anything that these power hungry people would do especially when presented with a situation that allows them to gain a upper hand and due to the actions and personality that he has in-game he lacks the traits that these people have and cannot formulate the plan that you stated was to start a rebellion so he can become the High King the only thing these people have in common was that they were blunt yeah but that's it.

Most of the people that you have pointed out were cunning they were experienced and they knew how to be shrewd in negotiation but in the quest Season Unending in the middle of a treaty that was very advantageous in a war and he for the most part let the Dragonborn dictate most of the negotiations instead of negotiating it himself so he did not harbor any of these characteristics and being blunt was not the only characteristic that I have stated I also stated that he was imposing and very direct and his actions in that said quest and also during the civil war contradict the characteristics that these people need to be able to even formulate a plan to be able to to come close to what you stated he was trying to do.

And also most of the people that you Julius Caesar conquered Europe to to his Empire and attempted to transform it into a Dictatorship which was why he was assassinated, Mao Zedong was regarded as a Chinese communist revolutionary but treated his people exactly like how Stalin did with his use of prison labor and prison farms which is used as administrative detention for a person who is not a criminal but has committed minor offenses, Qin Shi Huang the first Emperor of China who forced many workers to death in making the Great wall of China and sealed all of his workers in his tomb during his death to die, had an obsession with obtaining immortality and outlawed and burned many books and buried some scholars alive, Napoleon was an enlightened man he strove to better the lives of people across the country. Often times his methods were not humane, which can be seen through the starvation of the people on these public works projects., and Frederick Barbarossa was a German Holy Roman Emperor who led the Third Crusade to conquer the holy land Jerusalem from Saladin most of the actions of these people cant correlate to anything that Ulfric has done in his past or what he does in-game and how do you really know the personality of these people all he is trying to do was to make Skyrim independent he doesn't really show anything that signifies that it was primarily to be High King he only spoke about it once to.
