Nice, dark touch: The last panel has two people being deported. They seem to form an SS rune.

It also loosely reminds of Niemöller:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hadn't spotted the people in the background, thanks for pointing them out.

What is being done to you might as well happen to me feels like the core idea of solidarity. It is different from sympathy.
