The Equalists have a message that is very valid and worth listening to when comes to the role of benders in the world. The truth is benders have traditionally been in positions of power and the sources of conflict. And the bending they command was their weapon of choice in regards to those things. Where the issue lies is in the Equalists recent call to action. Republic City has been around for more than 40 years and the governing body is still comprised of benders representing the the four nations. Which comes to the point that the world has molded itself under the concept of the elements and so far is primarily seen as best represented by benders. It's not known how long they've been pushing for equality. Perhaps Yakone will be revealed as the beginner of the Equalist movement. But it has been around for awhile and now with skilled membership at a high level, they feel things must now be done by force. The primary issue is one that reflects in the real world.

Is equality achieved simply by bringing down those of privilege to your level?

Or it actually achieved when you are allowed to be among the privileged?
