The image is a screenshot of a social media post by a user named Sundae_Gurl, featuring a black background with white text. The post is titled "It was better to make this into an image, but here are some examples." It lists five historical examples of how leaders have used crises to consolidate power:

  1. Nazi Germany (1933): Hitler used the Reichstag fire to suspend local authority, centralize police powers, and suppress opposition.
  2. Mussolini's Italy (1920s): Mussolini claimed rampant crime and disorder to justify replacing elected officials with loyal appointees.
  3. Argentina's Dirty War (1976-83): The military seized on rising crime and unrest to implement martial law and disband local government control.
  4. Russia (1990s-2000s): Putin used "anti-terror" and crime crackdowns to take over regional policing and dismantle local governors' independence.
  5. Philippines under Marcos (1972): Marcos declared martial law on grounds of "lawlessness" in Manila, allowing him to replace mayors and governors.
