I read stuff like this an can only think of the EU as an abusive parent who punishes kids who leave. Perhaps the EU needs to do some introspection on itself.

Poor analogy. If you have a tribe, and the tribe's survival depends on cohesion, its behooves you to exert force to maintain that cohesion.

I would say that is a worse analogy. Are people in Germany going to die because of the UK leaving? Or do you mean the government in Brussels? I think it is more the later than the former.
