A: Dude, looks like capitalism is going to go bust, and in the meanwhile, tons of seemingly normal people are hating on immigrants because of their faiths or home country. The elites are richer than they were before, and many of them are pandering bigotry wholesale.
B: They should call it the Great Oppression. The fear is blinding their reason again.

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
