1) Hiroshi didn't own the pro-bending arena.

2) I'm enclined to believe that the majority of poor people are non-benders, and the majority of the richer people are benders. That doesn't mean that there wern't poor benders or rich non-benders.

3) It doesn't matter if non-benders held power before Amon started the revolution, you're forgetting these peope don't see the same things we as the viewer see. I doubt they even know who the Earth King is. All that matters to Amon's revolution was that benders held power during the revolution.

4) The Avatar has failed. To the average civilian, the Avatar did. After Aang died there were 17 years without an Avatar. 17 years without an Avatar, people would lose hope. Amon took advantage of the time between Aang and Korra to get people to move their hope onto him.

5) Bending causes all wars, sounds a lot like what athiests say about religion. People woudn't say that as much if it weren't for 9/11. The Hundred Year War would still be fresh on these people's minds, and bending caused that war. Yes, the War would still be on their minds, because that war lasted 100 years and the URN is at most 70 years old. That's really young in a world where there have always been the same four nations.
