I’m in Athens on vacation right now in a neighborhood that feels pretty left-oriented (quite a few antifa and anarchist symbols on the walls), but I’ve also seen this lightning bolt symbol a few times. I know the [flash and circle](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_and_circle) symbol to be a fascist symbol, so I was wondering if these symbols are connected or if it is something else?

It’s the symbol of edgy kids who act like clowns.
It’s the [squatting symbol](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squatting). There were many squattings in Athens but police raided many of them in the last couple of years.
I think its the symbol of squatting edit: yeah it is
Rotate it -120 degrees and then you got the Flash’s insignia
Opel fanboys probably /s

You’re referring to [British Union of Fascists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Union_of_Fascists), they had a similar symbol but no this is the well known symbol of squatting, nothing related to fascists/racists at all.

They are opel fans. Most of they time they can be seen driving an astra G with a body kit and exhaust, an Astra H GTC, a 2nd generation corsa or if you are lucky a Corsa OPC.
It is the thunderbolt logo, that you can find on selected Intel motherboards, and almost all macs from 2011 and upwards
