Cartoon showing 4 big steps, with small white men trying to climb up the giant steps. A big sign reads 'How to be a modern autocrat - training course'. The first step has a sign that reads 'Be a narcissist'; the little men on this step are gazing into mirrors. The second step has a sign that reads 'Deny reality'; the little men on this step are doing a quiz. The question on the screen is 'Climate change is A: Real B: Fake'. The contestants all choose the answer 'fake'. The third step has a sign that reads 'point the blame'; a little man on this step is directing riot police, who are driving a migrant family over the edge, into a giant waste bin that is already filled with people carrying signs 'See the earth' and 'human rights'. The fourth and final step on the ladder has a sign 'Grab power' and a red chair, place on a red carpet.
