Question

old people, families with lots of kids, and people without work cards are all going to the left! we understood this must be very bad. which theme is addressed in both excerpts? ignorance of reality is preferable to awareness. physical sensations can be just as painful as the event itself. people can be worn down to the point of giving up. reality can be inexplicably cruel and unfair.

Explanation:

The comic shows marginalized groups (elderly, large families, unemployed people) being directed away, with the group recognizing this as a terrible, unjust act. This aligns with the idea that reality can be cruel and unfair, as the targeting of vulnerable people without clear, justifiable reason is an example of such cruelty. The other options do not fit: there is no praise of ignorance, focus on physical pain, or depiction of people giving up.

Answer:

Reality can be inexplicably cruel and unfair.
