If you want to find historical realities within Skyrim, Ulfric Stormcloak is very similar to Hitler; He tries to create a dominant race, segregates certain races and quarantines them in designated areas of cities within his control (Dark Elves live on the Grey Quarter and Argonians live on the Argonian Assemblage), he is great speaker, very persuasive and believes that he and his troops are the true rulers of the country.

I will also add what every Stormcloak players conveniently forget. OPEN worship of Talos was banned, but not enforced, and wasn’t enforced until Ulfric demanded open worship AND held a city hostage till he got his way, FORCING the Empire bent the knee to the Thalmor's pressure and enforce the ban. This WOULD have been the perfect opportunity for the Stormcloaks to then attack the Thalmor entering Skyrim, thereby forcing the Empire to secede Skyrim and conquer their independence with little loss of life, just like Hammerfell did. Instead, Ulfric, who is acting like a spoiled brat, attacked the Empire. And here we are now. So, those are my 2 cents. If Ulfric used the Empires' situation in an attempt to rule Skyrim, then he is a selfish man who didn't consider the needs for its people. If Ulfric was really about defending the name of Talos and Nord tradition, he could've taken into use the Dominions' apparent lax watch on Skyrim at the time and prepared an army capable of taking them on in secret. Yet instead chose to wage a pointless war, so he's an idiot and you fully support him.
