I guess this is a step forward. Liberals used to support evil in reality, like the Iraq war, but then they would use fantasy to virtue signal that they are actually the good guys by not supporting the Empire in Star Wars or something like that.
Not anymore! Now they are just like “kill kill kill”
One of the things I LOVE about Avatar is how little of a shit the human capitalist society gives to its people. We know that unobtanium is valuable, but to whom? Jake Sully, a person who fought for the empire, should theoretically be receiving the spoils. Instead, he is tossed out with no use of his legs, which we learn that in-universe can actually be healed- but not without a hefty fee to the capitalist grifters. Just like the real world, unobtanium is only useful - and profitable - to those at the very top. And, just like the real world, Jake Sully has been beat up and spat out by the evils of empire, creating a revolutionary ripe to betray the human settlers.
