The very first line in the post is "Imagine ...". Was it not clear that what followed what hypothetical, or was the post edited after you commented?
E.g. the picture of the burning house is a McMansion, but the author indicates they live in the Uk. The passport is clearly set on fire, etc. But I could justify these as ‘well, obviously there is nothing left, so the author just took a random picture of a burning passport’.
