Talk:Amon/@comment-24.22.146.42-20120727151333

I wished the show really focused on the demographics of Republic city better. In ATLA people like Haru and the Mechansit gave me a good idea how much of a threat the Fire Nation was. But LOK is a guerilla war and ethical morals is the reason people join Amon.

Here are some of Amon's points-                                                                        -"Benders are being oppresed" That is noticibale by the Trible Threat Triad. But we no nothing of the Council policies to make me beleive that Equalist hate ALL benders and not just Gangs. Some Triad memebers join just out of desperation and it would be a financial problem. If Amon says "The government doesn't care about bender gangs" or "the government is favors the gang" or "the government personally persecutes non benders." (Its not like Tarrlok was doing it before the war) The show never explanied how the government failed its people. A definition of a Revolution is to take down the elites of society. Tarrlok and Tenzin did NOTHING to anger the people(before the war started)

- "Benders have less rights" -Nope, Sokka and the Air Aircoyate were both councilmen. The Earth King was a non bender(he ruled with absolute power when Dai Li was overthrown) a majority of Earth Kingdom mayors were non benders.Sure benders get glory from the pro-bending arena but look at the owner of the arena, and Hiroshi Sato. A MAJORITY of non benders are rich and a majority of benders are poor.

-"Bending causes ALL wars"- There hasn't been a war in 70 years. Why are the people so butthurt? It was benders that stopped those wars and created those lands.

-"The Avatar has failed"-What??? Aang stopped a Firebending maniac and a Bloodending criminal. What did Aang do to create such a social problem???

-The benders and non benders don't even seem to be segregated like blacks and whites......many bender and non bending hobos live together. A majority of non benders and benders work together.
