The nationalism, the colonial centric pedagodgy, class disparity, industrial poisoning of local communities, and thats just in the first 3 episodes of the season. Episode 3 has some good materialism.

Avatar has a lot to say. Its a good show.

    ATLA is much less lib agitprop than Korra is. I still love both shows but Korra has some straight whack themes

      Korra feels like it was made to appease the growing anti-SJW movement at the time with the first season during the proto-gamergate era. Amon is like a textbook Ayn Rand villain, and to a lesser extent the Red Lotus is as well beccause of their wish to end the Avatar, the ultimate great man of the great man theory. However, all of that pales into comparison to forcing in a ‘Dark Avatar’. Why are we seeing a 12 year old’s OC in a professionally made show?
