The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago

That’s because the air nomads are basically Tibetan monks, also annexed by China in the 1950s

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Yes, that's how the metaphor follows through. The fire Nation destroys the air nomads the way the Chinese destroyed Tibet.
