I agree with most of what you've said here. Ironically, from what I've heard and read, the Equalists are now being called "terrorists" by real world people like you and I, who in reality can't bend and should totally know and feel what it's like to be a non-bender. Imangine those who have power, in the real world, as benders and those who don't have powers, like you and I, as nonbenders. If our kind rise up to powerful opressors, like the Triple Threat Triad, should we immediately call them "terrorists" especially when they haven't killed anybody? Sure, they've instilled fear in many people, but benders have done that for years, which is why the Equalists have risen up and rebel. If Equalists felt safe in the first place, would they have come together and fight? NO! Sadly, Korra, the so-called Avatar, will never be able to see this. Her naivety will only hinder her progress as the Avatar. I can't wait to see if and when Amon takes away her ability to bend. Maybe then, she will be able to understand what's it's like to have no bending powers. Maybe then, she will grow up and not only be for one side. Maybe then she knows that, as the Avatar, she has to defend all people, benders and non-benders.
