It's kind of weird seeing someone claim "lessons on pro-social behavior" in a direct reply to a quote on how the show depicts immurement as a reaction to refusing direct orders from the company owner.

Unquestionable obedience to the company owner under the threat of immurement is not a basic part of parenting.
I also question how formatting our children to unquestionably accept fighting and dying in armed conflicts as being healthy and in their best interests.
The Fascist motto was “believe, obey, fight.” It is in line with the ideas you're trying to pass off as good parenting.
The lessons of the episode are simple:
- you will not get what you want if you are selfish, mean, and unreasonable (Henry's paint is eventually spoiled anyway)
- if you disobey your parents, there will be consequences (like timeout). Note that Sir Topham hat (as a parental figure) while firm, was very patient with Henry.
