That's nothing. I have seen idiotic local kids wearing tee shirts with the goddamn IJA flag. I want to kick their faces in. Repeatedly.

I think that, although it could well be cultural as well, this like many other things is an issue of segregation. Note that middle-class right-wing libertarian Juggernaut has never seen a Swastika spray painted anywhere in Gothenburg, even though they're rife. It's probably 'cause he drives everywhere and only moves in fashionable media circles.

I don't claim to be working class, but I do walk a lot, ride on public transport and have lots of friends in working-class areas (for young people, middle class or not, it's easier to get appartments there). So I've seen lots of spray-painted swastikas in my time.

omg.....Wisconsin is full of Swastika's. Every rest stop. Lots of Commi things to. On highway 20 near here there used to be a big picture of Marx's face and "Rise up" (and some graffitti tags). It was painted over when the barn was demolish and a Kohl's was built in the exact same spot.

It was actually a good piece of work with spraypaint.

Athens is full of political graffiti.

Swasticas abound, but thankfully the hammer-and-sickles are much more numerous. The most common symbol however is the anarchist A-in-a-circle.

Also, wherever a fascist has made any graffiti, it is usually painted over by some antifascist, with deeply insulting words. A "Fascists, we are coming for you" or a "Fascists, you will die" is habituary.

Btw, when you see a swastika, take care to not confuse it with two antifacist symbols: 1, the reverse swastika, whose bars point counterclockwise and the swastika whick is broken apart by a fist.

Also, when you see a hammer-and-sickle, notice it's direction as well. Stalinists and generic communists will paint the regular one, with the sickle leaning to the right, while trotskyists will usually paint the reverse one, with the sickle leaning to the left. Sometimes the hammer in the trotskyist version is made to look like a 4, which means that the writer is affiliated to the 4rth international.

the graffitti/the messages, that anarchists or what have you write on the walls are inspired BTW like... "Ethnostedon"

my experience coincides with Axi's. First thing you'll see are the famous "circled A" for anarchy and then the sickle and hammer.

joke that maybe Axi can try to translate:
