In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are “clearly satirical”.

What’s next?

The bar owner says the images are “demonstrably anti-fascist” and that he has no regrets about displaying them.

    Dissent is a great bar that I would highly recommend checking out if you’re in Canberra. They have great food, live performances, and (as you can see from the article) are consistently on the right side of history - support them with your dollars.

    We all know that Trump, Vance, Musk and Putin depicted as a Nazi isn’t the issue here, it’s 100% that you can’t say anything negative about that 5th guy.

      Yep. It’s honestly amazing the shear amount of power that’s held over foreign governments by that muppet. I can only imagine the trove of blackmail he has to have for the treatment they get.
