This reminds me of those mini Christian comics that always ended with some horrific cartoon of hell or people suffering damnation. I used to read those as a Christian kid, before I grew our of religion. they were made to get you afraid of god, and remind you that god loves you, but will annihilate you and toss you in a torture dungeon if you disobey him.
I read quite a few of them and the only sentence I gained from them was "the standard is good behavior, not other people". That's it. All the works of that professional writer/moralizer over his entire life and I think he had only one single idea worth remembering. Which makes me think he probably plagiarized it.
After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion with all the creators of the top political TV dramas. Veep, House Of Cards, The West Wing, Scandal, and others. All the participants said the same thing; if they'd had a character who'd said that he didn't think POWs deserved respect the networks and sponsors would have demanded that he be reviled and hated by all Americans.
