That's one of the few ironic things about the show. In reality, if the avatar world was real, most of us would be nonbenders AND a good size of us nonbenders would be oppressed by benders, yet most fans of the show and commentators here are on the side of the benders. Obviously the show is made in such a way that the majority of us would only pick one side, the benders' side. In a way, it's making us hate ourselves either for not being a bender or hating the equalist so much that the only cool thing left to be is a bender. I think that most people who hate the equalists tend to forget that their issue and cause is not black or white. It's because of the inequality they experienced from benders that they joined or created the movement. I think they want justice just the same as you and I. Obviously they are going about everything the wrong way, but you CAN'T say that they are evil. It's like going to war. We want peace or at least to preserve the peace here at home, but in doing so, we are going to kill hundreds of thousands of people and many of them are innocent people including women and children. Upon these deaths, can we really say that our peace is justified? If you easily say yes, then like many people, you are still too naive.

In the end, I think the equalists want the same thing as everbody else does: Peace and Equality.The ulitimate question is how do we go about it? War? Diplomacy? The only weird thing I found about the equalists is that in this pursuit of equality and declaration of war, you'd think that Amon would've killed every bender after he took their bending away. I mean, isn't murder and killing a part of what you call war? Kinda shows you that the equalists and Amon has a good side.
