Equalistguy, you're totally right. Amon and the Equalists are just the consequence. The consequence of the benders bullying and oppressing nonbenders like Amon was the Equalist movement. If nonbenders weren't oppressed by benders, they most likely wouldn't have formed the Equalists. What would most people have done if their family was killed by a firebender and their face burned off like the way Amon's face was burned off and family killed? I'm not surprised if they eventually joined a group called the Equalists. Some people may say the answer for equality is protest. Not in the Avatar world, when benders can easily start burning your face off right there, right then. Plus, nonbenders don't even have a representative in the council. Who is going to stand up for them? The reason why we can even protest in the real world is because we actually have representatives who could be kicked out of office if they don't hear and take into account what we have to say, especially when the message is made loud and clear by large group protests.
