    They also never actually showed this social inequality, if anything it just came off as jealousy. Funny enough if it actually were class conflict then you wouldn’t have seen the rift between benders and non-benders, with most of them sticking together

      I may or not remember a couple of scenes in that season of benders overpowering and bullying non-benders for petty reasons as the only portrayal of that inequality. Correct me if I am wrong though: my brain sometimes erases things for my own sake (such as most of Korra).

      Class conflict doesn’t exist in fantasy settings written by liberals of course, only in the mind of radical looneys. At most you will only have things that can be solved with enough Burny Sandals social democracy. Have you ever heard of Norway?

        Nah you’re right, they showed some small scenes but nothing definitive like “this certainly shows the difference between the two”. It’s why I felt Amon was such a corny villain…you take away all the bending in the city and now all forms of oppression are over?
