Talk:Amon/@comment-69.122.85.217-20120518163837

I think it's very telling how the council has completely avoided any discussion of the argument Amon makes. His tactics make it easy to simply focus on him as a threat. Easy to call him crazy and a lunatic despite the fact that doing so only serves to embolden his supporters. The worst thing you can ever do to a group that feels unfairly treated is be dismissive of their plight. There is a large contingent of citizens that agree with Amon's views and ultimately I think it will that fact that causes the most upheaval in Republic City. The status quo has always been one where benders are fully engrained in positions of power. Everyone accepted it as normal and right for a very long time. The rise in prosperity for non-benders set that conclusion on an inevitable course to conflict. When the shoe drops, everyone's going to realize Amon is only a figurehead to a movement that thrives with or without him. - Turk
