All you need to know about Legend of Korra is that r/neoliberal recommended it as “a good show about the dangers of populism”

Not surprised they liked it. One of the characters is a billionaire weapons dealer who worked with terrorists to sell more weapons, push a strategy of tension, and ignited a bloody war. He’s also the good guy, married his secretary, and is rewarded with a state award

Dude is just Charlie Wilson and NATO, the character

also he literally has a pablo escobar style luxury prison constructed so that when he is inevitably imprisoned for his corruption, he ends up in what is essentially a cozy hotel room. This would seem like a satire of capitalism, but it is played off like he is a clever and sympathetic character for doing this

The enemy in the first season is basically just a communist, but they pretty openly compare it to fascism (the propaganda posters he puts up around the city basically have the Rising Sun in the background). Then they just kill him off. It’s very lazy.
