Zaheer in the legend of Korra - is an anarchist, tears down the walls separating the poor and rich, literally kills the queen - good 👍

Then he decides to kill Korra, end the avatar cycle and threaten to destroy the air nomads for good, because he's a crazy anarchist and that is all completely in line with crazy anarchism.

Nevermind that the air nomads are already essentially anarchists

Legend of Korra is just this. Equality is just a trick used to take power from the worthy, and is closely related to fascism from book one, environmentalism is evil because...idk they never really explained anything in season 2, anarchy is evil because it is just chaos, and fascism is actually not evil, just a reaction to unfair conditions and a result of anarchism. Kuvira's big evil wasn't the concentration camps, but an attack on a colony. JayandSkittles on youtube did a video series on this I find entertaining, the central thesis is that the makers of LoK wanted to talk politics and the conflicts of the 20th century, but didn't actually understand anything about that, so they just defaulted to "capitalist democracy good, everything else bad."
