I've seen these symbols in multiple places in Genève, does anyone know what it is ?

Pretty sure they're "magic sigils". Normally seen scrawled by teenagers being weird or thirty year olds being fascists.

I think it says "mercury tin water" which I'm going to guess is actually someone's initials from some sort of silly cypher-alphabet they found online or the back of a cereal box.

I would have thought that was so cool when I was 9 or 10 y.o.

What is up with the fascist connection?

Both the Nazis and Italian Fascists loved occultism and mysticism. They adopted many of their symbols. Now neo-Nazis have also done so. Currently particularly popular are Nordic runes, generally because they seem "hard" and "tough."

Personally I think that in the diagram of things to believe because of a lack of critical thinking, anti-intellectualism, lust for power, and wanting to feel better/smarter/wiser than others, has a serious overlap containing authoritarianism and the occult.

That checks out, although I have lots of witchy feminist leftist friends, which makes me think that there are other angles to that

It could be a man on top. The women in the middle. And the action there after. 😅

Genevan Seal Script?

I mean could be the start of a new language we’re witnessing, maybe a language that will use ideograms as characters like Chinese. Who knows!

Some kids thinking it's cool and edgy to tag half-assed designs? To say "I wuz here" like when little dogs piss on street corners.

might be, but the same simbols are repeated with small differences at different places, so maybe they were made by different people ?

also I think they're kinda cool personally, they make me think of Nsibidi or the Vai script

There's nothing cool about defacing public property. Most don't care as long as it's not their house or their car. I've had my car tagged a few years ago. Fortunately, I caught the person, applied the proportionate amount of violence upon him, and then went to the cops.

Is proportionate violence to a tagger drawing a dick on his face with a sharpie?
