It's a spin-off of "FCK AFD" which are stickers widely used to oppose the most popular far-right party in Germany. I think that's where the design came from, feel free to correct me though.

I'm pretty sure FCK NZS and NZS BXN existed before FCK AFD stickers. In fact, the AFD one is an outlier, because it doesn't follow the "remove all vowels" rule.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

BXN?

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Boxen, presumably. Punching. So it's saying punch nazis

[–] Turun@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago

Yes, boxen (en: boxing, like in boxing gloves or kickboxing)

Actually I think the root of it is "HKN KRZ", Hakenkreuz, aka Swastika. It was Nazis who came up with the format. There's also "NZS BXN", "box Nazis".

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is that like box wine?

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Box as in the Klychko brothers.

There's no real equivalent of "to punch" in German, usually you'd use "schlagen" but that means to beat in general. And then "Nazis boxen" is a Kangaroo thing.

Also you'd be hard-pressed to find box wine in Germany. Sangria, yes, but not wine.

It's a spin on RUN DMC's logo in case anyone is wondering

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Oh damn you're right

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Oh no, it's so much worse. This is a BRAND NAME, FCK NZS is a company that sells "antifascist" clothing and accessories. Capitalism has successfully commodified antifa.

[–] Aaron@feddit.ch 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Hey I mean if we can make "fuck Nazis" so cool that people will literally pay for it and wear it publicly, I'm okay with that.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

Nooooooo, buying stuff is bad. Because capitalism.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I instantly feel safer in cities where lots of stickers like this and "Antifascist Action" ones survive.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 17 points 9 months ago

Agreed. Symbols are incredibly important for helping people feel safe and welcome, if there are a bunch of antifascist and pro-leftist symbols, I feel way safer than if there were confederate flags, Nazi symbols, or MAGA symbols.

[–] subwoofer@lemmy.gockandgum.party 31 points 9 months ago

Not gonna lie, I saw those stickers all over Frankfurt and it was nice to see them, lol, even if it does not bother Nazis, it is still nice

[–] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm also protesting on the streets against them

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

You're protesting against the stickers?

[–] Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Your comment sure is gonna show those people protesting Nazis! Right…?

Stuff like this shows fash they aren't welcome in our communities, and they can be used to cover up fash propaganda as well. If stickers/tags didn't do anything then Nazis would probably stop doing it too

The arabs were right. Vowels are overrated.

I hate the idea of someone spinning it positive, somewhere in there it should have an “OFF”.

Fuck Nazis.....off?

Fuck off Nazis though, maybe off a bridge or something.
