I loathe the existence of the Imperialist. And all friends of imperialism are by default the enemies of Ink Blade.

  • I initially sided with the resistance. It made complete sense to question why a minority capable of bending the elements should be allowed to govern, oppress, and ruin the lives of the non-bending majority.

    When the machines were introduced, I realised my core grievance was the misuse of power itself, regardless of its source. Even after Amon was exposed and defeated, I continued to agree with his underlying philosophy. In the Avatar universe, bending is the ultimate form of power, and power inherently corrupts.

    Amon's motivations are highly logical when you examine his past. Having experienced the sheer horror of bloodbending under his father, he projected his own trauma and self-hatred onto the entire bending community. That psychological complexity is exactly why he remains my favourite character in the franchise, second only to Iroh.

  • Recent years have largely proven that fear to be accurate.

    In my country, the political atmosphere appears divided. The prevailing narrative suggests the ruling party commands 30 percent of public support, with the opposition holding the remaining 70 percent. The reality of the situation is that the ruling establishment has effectively captured the vast majority of that opposition bloc.

    Perhaps only 10 percent of the nation's population genuinely desires structural change. When this minority begins to articulate what that change actually entails, the wider populace turns against them. The motivation is deeply rooted in aspirational greed. While only a tiny elite currently enjoys the benefits of the commons, the vast majority simply dream of eventually holding that power to squander those resources themselves.

    Rather than framing it as evil (evil is a religious term), it is a profound systemic selfishness. Many individuals are entirely willing to uphold oppressive structures and tolerate the suffering of their neighbours, provided they retain the hope of one day occupying the golden throne.

  • Did not know that it is a popular movie. I placed it as #7 in my own listing.

    Movies like Article 15, Tumbbad, Asuran have more depth.

  • Hating pedophile-rapists will always be a morally good position, but attempting to saying that all pedophile-rapists are men-- when we all know that pedo-rapists can be either men and women --is misandry.

  • "Hierarchy is necessary" (?)

  • You are right about the word "federal". It is a confusing overlap in language. When people say "federal government", they mean a massive central power that rules over smaller states. But when anarchists or network engineers say "federation", we just mean independent groups choosing to work together on equal footing. Think of an association of independent trade unions or a farmer's market, not a capital city dictating laws to the provinces. Nobody is in charge of anyone else, they simply agree to cooperate on shared goals.

    Regarding the delegates, you have identified the trade-off. Yes, sending people back and forth to build consensus is slower than having a boss just issue a command. It is absolutely less efficient. But that inefficiency is intentional. A dictatorship or a corporate hierarchy is incredibly fast, but if the leader makes a catastrophic mistake, everyone suffers instantly. Horizontal organisation trades speed for safety. The back-and-forth ensures that no single bad actor or corrupted delegate can force a terrible decision onto a community that does not consent to it.

    As for enforcement and violations, you have to stop thinking about justice as a system of prisons and police officers. If a person or a group violates a shared agreement, the response is not to send armed men to lock them in a cage. The response is exclusion. The community simply cuts them off. They lose access to the shared resources, the logistics, and the mutual aid of the group. In a society where survival depends on cooperation, being exiled from the cooperative network is a severe and effective deterrent.

    For physical defence against violent external threats, communities rely on local, volunteer militias. Instead of a standing army waiting for orders from a president, each local area maintains its own ability to defend itself. If a massive threat appears, these local defence groups coordinate with each other voluntarily, much like how a body's immune system responds to an infection. It is decentralised self-defence, built from the ground up, ensuring the people holding the weapons are the exact same people who live in the community they are defending.
