If you look at the usa, less than 0.5% of children die between the ages of 6 and 18. The least likely age for you to die is 8-9 years old, and from about 12 and up the death chance increases pretty rapidly. A 30 year old is already about twice as likely to die as a 19 year old…
so for most people this won’t apply. If you survived abusive or negligent parents though, maybe it’s different
you may have heard the phrase “god works in mysterious ways”. This is clearly one case of such. Clouds do not normally behave like this, it’s closer to what you might think of smoke. And where do we see white smoke? That’s right. When the Papal conclave has come to a decision for the new Pope.
It is a message that there is no smoke without fire. The “intellectual” (note the glasses) has a seemingly convincing argument, but is shown to be a fool. The suspicion of sinful, non-procreational sex (notice the falling leaves, which do not play a reproductive role in trees) turns out to be true.
This belief in smoke without fire feeds into the conservative tenets of anti-intellectualism, the tendency to assume guilt based on prejudice and fuels paranoid conspiracy theories. It is also a meta-dog whistle confirming that yes, those other dog whistles the comic uses are really what you think and not just coincidental.
