Dont forget the comics where they decided that instead of returning the fire nation colonies back to the earth kingdom they should instead form a new nation out of stolen land
Also in the comics:
Earth Kingdom peasants rise up against the king for better conditions. The king asks Kyoshi, the avatar before Aang, to suppress them. Kyoshi won't serve the king at first, but then some windows get broken or something and she goes full cop and suppresses them, then further goes on to establish the Dai Li secret police to prevent further protests.
The "wisdom" being that the avatar answers to no king, but destroying private property is even worse, so some weird centrism is the best . In general, the Avatar is a disgusting centrist neoliberal corruption of the original Indian concept of a hero incarnated to deliver divine justice for the oppressed
I interpreted avatar in a different way post Korra. The world would be better off with no avatar
Then the settlers used their bending powers to cast fireballs and lightning at the child rebels throwing pebbles at them
