If it doesnt fit into this community, be so kind and point me in the right direction if possible.

So, in case this post fits here:

This situation has gone on for a few days. Recently a ticket machine here in germany got covered in fascist stickers, showing the flag of Nazi-Germany [Flag of Nazi Germany] and propagating Ideals of the "white-power-movement". I believe the picture speaks for itself. The stickers were removed a few days ago, but returned shortly after. (Picture shows second installment) Today I took some time out of my day to remove them, but it was quite a strenous process. Thats why I came here to ask for any ideas concerning the removal, or general thoughts on the situation. I know that it's an uphill battle, since putting new stickers down is a process of seconds, but it also feels terrible to do nothing. Any help is appreciated!

if the goal is simply to remove the symbolism, perhaps you could just sticker over them: that makes it equally quick for you to remove the symbols as it is for them to put them up… doesn’t clean up the machine, but it certainly solves the main issue with as little of your energy as possible

Thank you for the input! I might do that in case I don't have time to get all of them removed.

Just hiding them doesn't sit quite right with me somehow. Don't know if that makes sense for you.

absolutely makes sense! perhaps you could limit proper clean up to once per week - that way you have a temporary solution to solve the immediate problem quickly, and with minimal energy and then truly invest time and energy when it’s going to benefit

hopefully then stickers will make them give up
