    We literally get the fascist pig insult from the demon Legion, a commentary on the brainwashing the Legionnaires/Rome as a state pushed unto their citizens via fear and deprivation.

    what do you mean by that?

      The demon exorcism story of Jesus and Legion. He drives out the ‘demon’ (which are artisfically rendered as some horrific entity, while just being state of minds/mental instabilities - hence why early christians were called Therapeutae, or therapist) He casts it from the man into the pigs who in a horde rush the waters and drown.

      The name Legion is a way of making commentary about the current political powers oppressing people and forcing this form of self-censorship. How illegal immigrants cannot openly talk about their issues while being just as equal humans, hence needing to strip their rights and fear monger.

      Anyways Legion is a pseudonym for the Legionnaires which were the Roman military fleet and the primary antagonistic actors and the pigs are a mockery of them. How those who trust them are killing themselves. Kinda like those who vote for certain political parties to have oppressive power.

      Jesus can’t save you but the people can save themselves. There’s lots of artistic flare - it’s mesmerizing to decipher.

      Rapture just speaks about a social collapse. The same one in exodus, with the Romans, with Muhammad and so forth. That’s why it is a fine balance of moderation between indulgence and reverence. Swing one way or the other too heavy and a collapse happens.

      The buddhist middle way.
