This piece focuses on historical and modern complacency toward extremism. Mickey, once a symbol of innocence, is performing a Nazi-style salute, with an X logo replacing the swastika.

The X on his armband mirrors Musk's dismissive behaviour after being globally criticised for a similar Nazi-style gesture, which he brushed off as a “tired argument" and refused to apologise for. Instead of reflecting on the gravity of the situation, Musk made light of the controversy, posting Nazi-related puns and further emboldening the very extremism he claims to oppose.

How do cultural icons shape or obscure our collective accountability? Is this power, or the ultimate failure of leadership?
