!! OMG, Someone in Berlin has found a creative way to fight back against neo-Nazi Swastikas !!

Ibo Omari started a campaign through his NGO Die kulturellen Erben (The Cultural Heritage) titled Paintback, a movement to turn hate symbols and slogans on the streets into counter-hateful art.

Based in Berlin, Germany, the Paintback concept has so far covered up several swastikas around the streets of the city, as far-right groups in Germany begin to show signs of increased activity. Using simple designs and templates, the graffiti artists involved in Paintback hope to inspire others to respond to ugly hate messages in their cities, and make something beautiful out of them. Via a short video shared on social media, which went viral in Germany, the campaign has quickly spread to other cities in the country and beyond with others posting their own swastika alterations under the hashtag #Paintback.
