Especially the line about "hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace".

And discouraging.

This video is particularly chilling with the images paired with the music. I almost put a warning on the message for those who could be triggered by them.

But when your return, it's the same old place.

A simple and devastating condemnation.
