Ulfric in relation to Hitler

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:05 am

Now hear me out guys, Hitler was a follower of Christianity correct? And Jewish people do not believe in Jesus being the son of god yada yada. I'm not trying to start religious debates or anything. But Hitler had a tremendous way of uniting the German people (who are known to drink .. Aka Slightly Nordic). He was renowned as a great man until he attempted to wipe out the Jews. Ulfric is a believer in Talos and united the people of Skyrim to follow him and kick the elves out. Due to his great leadership and ability to unite Nordic people, he has lead Nords everywhere to Hate the elves. Jews were treated just about the way the Dark elves are in windhelm. So do you think Ulfric will attempt to further his reign and overthrow the empire? Will he attempt to kill all elves? Who knows. I just stumbled upon realizing this after watching a special on Hitler last night. Give your thoughts below.

Edit: Oh and also.. Nords often have blonde hair and blue eyes...coincidence? I think he'll attempt to make a "super race" as hitler did

Edit2: also hitlers forces were called storm troops...Storm cloaks? I mean come on you really cannot ignore the vast similarities

Comparing him to Hitler is a tad too much. Ulfruc does not want genocide nor taking over the world. He simply want Skyrim to be governed by Nords without Thalmor influence. Yes the stormcloaks are xenophobic because they do not trust elves after the great war. And they may want them out of Skyrim but not eradicate them. Thalmor on the other hand always gave me a Waffen SS vibe.

Hitler was not a follower of Christianity. He either believed in the neopagan propaganda that Goebbels fed people or (as is more likely) was an athiest. In fact Eva Braun's father was quite protective of her because the family was Roman Catholic.

He has committed mass murder on several occasions, the markarth incident is one of those times, women, children, he didnt care, they all had to be purged. OP, I agree on this.

Although I can understand your thought process.. I think the Thalmor are more similar to the Nazi than Ulfric & the Storm Cloaks. The Thalmor are the ones banning the worship of Talos and punishing people for their own beliefs, much like the Nazi did. The Storm Cloaks seem to be fighting just to defend their beliefs and their land from the Thalmor. Also, the Thalmor are from Summerset Isle and are trying to control Skyrim. Ulfric did not go to Summerset Isle and try to impose on their beliefs or way of life. If anyone is like the Nazi, I'd have to say it's the Thalmor. Oh, and Ulfric allows the Dunmer to live within his city. He didn't have to allow that, but he did, regardless of how he feels about them.

If i wanted I'm sure i could find a way to directly compare ulfric with any real life war leader, it's not that difficult, all I would need to do is find the few things they have in common and make a big deal about them (regardless of how out of context and irrelevant they are).

also, Ulfric is leading a civil war, not a war on all of tamriel.

No, ulfrics father allowed the dunmer in, not him, he just tolerates them, and that is bein nice about it.

No. There are not many similarities between Hitler and Ulfric.

No. Not at all. And I'm pretty sure one of the moderators made it clear that real-world politics shouldn't be brought into these Civil War discussions. I'm not even going to explain why that's a terrible anology. Someone needs to lock this thread.

Hitler grew up in a Catholic church, but there are accounts out there that point to him pretty much rejecting Christian teachings after his childhood. His ultimate goal for Germany was to completely do away with all religion and place himself up as a god figure.

Stalin was around the time of Hitler, there was a non aggression pact of some kind but I expect Ulfric to break the peace with the Thalmor. Expect some sort of tamrielic world war. Empire probably won't want to get involved and then Japan will bomb anvil.. Lol

No, absolutely not, and it's borderline offensive at least to even suggest it.

Ulfric is not racist. He doesn't seek genocide. He's not trying to make a perfect race. Etc, etc, etc. Ulfric is trying to protect his people and their culture from a group that is threatening them. It is not even remotely close.
