Hmm... not really. An ideology could really influence oneself into going into extremes. Remember, Amon is a compassionate person as a young boy. He became cold as he grew older after the bloodbending training. After his father's severe oppression, Amon decided that behind the scene, all benders are harsh and severe just like his father. He had not been 'belittled' but he as a compassionate person had been forced into something he doesn't believe in; oppression. If you look from that perspective, his motive is very convincible.

Yakone really did turned Amon into what he was, but what he became was a strong-willed person with close to perfect ability of self-control fighting for what he thinks is right. If the benders are oppressing the non-benders, isn't it just fair for him to take their bending away?
