- He wants Skyrim for the Nords (Only for them)

- Murdered the High King

- He weakened Skyrim by starting another war

- He killed off the Reachmen and this drove them into the Forsworn, which in turn, drove them into even more heroin crazed killers

- He misused the Voice and used it for war. While the Dragonborn does the same, they are chosen by the gods so it's totally acceptable

- He want to be "High King". Haha, when pigs fly

- He has a habit of "sending messages". For one, killing the High King. Two, bombing and attacking Whiterun and overthrow Balgruuf which he believes "sends a powerful message".

While no one is perfect, Skyrim could be doing better...


 * He wants a country ruled by the Nords. It's not as if he wants to kick all the Meri out.
 * Debatable, but who cares? The High King was a puppet, killed as a demonstration of Ulfric's power.
 * True. But he won't bow to the Thalmor, which means he's better than most Imperials.
 * They were already heroin-crazed killers. Who cares if they became even more heroin-crazed, as long as they're dead?
 * The sole purpose of the Voice is for war. Paarthurnax gave it to mankind so they could defeat the Dragons. Misuse of the Voice is only, like, doing it for petty things like shouting M'aiq off a mountain. (but it's OK when LDB does it).
 * He would be High King if he won the war, which is currently at a stalemate (before the Dragonborn comes along).
 * That's war. You send messages by murdering the shit out of anyone who opposes you, to keep people from even thinking about opposing you.

While no one is perfect (because he's kinda racist himself), Skyrim could be doing worse.
