I would only disagree with his very last word.

I'd say rather than move from "anger to pity", move from "anger to compassion".

Hiddekel says...

I agree that compassion is a better word to end with, but only because the word pity is a victim of some of the concepts touched on in this video, when we are pitied we interpret it negatively, we think it's patronising or demeaning, which may be feeding an unconscious fear that we're seen as feeble.
Pity: "The feeling of sorrow and compassion caused by the sufferings and misfortunes of others"

Pity and sympathy are closely related, but pity adds feelings of superiority.

Related in the same way yes and no, top and bottom, right and wrong, stop and go, square and triangle, open and closed, etc. are related.

Ya, I was trying to say related except for where the emotion comes from, but hey, I pity all of you so, meh.
