I love how the first thing Korra does is threaten to beat an equalist agitator in the park and somehow they are wrong. The bending police just arrest them en masse on the suspicion of participating in terrorist activities. A bender gang demands protection money. And in the first series, occupied territories had all the benders imprisoned so whoever was left could be terrorized by the troops.
it’s like the Harry Potter effect where when you think about it you’re like “wtf wait a minute they’re basically a cop”. IIRC beating the protestors up was played for laughs and Korra is proven right in the end so fascistic street brutality against people handing out pamphlets is ipso facto justified
uncritical support for Comrade Amon, class traitor to benders
