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!

    Thanks for the reply! Used a set of plastic scrapers for the job, although they were a bit to floppy for my liking. I tried to be as non destructive as possible, using water and some retail adhesive residue remover (which certainly helped, but not as much as I would have liked) I already heard from a friend, that every once in a while, nasty stuff, like razor blades are hidden underneath those. But using one myself might actually be a good Idea, just gotta be careful not to scratch the actual machine ^^’

      Oh yeah, I was thinking of metal not plastic ones which should be more sturdy.

      Yeah, the razorblades is why I suggest never getting close to them and having one that folds into the handle, so you can hold the handle and the blade goes out from that, not on top of it, if that makes sense?

        Yep, I believe I know the kind. In case I come across stickers like these in the future, I can get some practice in!

            Thank you! I am already in contact with a local group that has a surplus of stickers, so that should go pretty smoothly
