The fuck is this? Write it out in full - Fuck Nazis.
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.
BXN?
Boxen, presumably. Punching. So it's saying punch nazis
Yes, boxen (en: boxing, like in boxing gloves or kickboxing)
Huh, the more you know! I've almost exclusively seen the FCK AFD one.
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".
Is that like box wine?
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.
Ima gonna take that as punch one in the face and enjoy a sangria
Thanks
Brandy pralines. It must be brandy pralines.
You mean Nazis came up with something original? I'm very skeptical of that.
It's not really new in the sense that it's the same ole "dress old symbols in new clothing to circumvent the ban on use of those symbols". I think the HKN KRZ thing came after Londsdale, the clothing producer, came down quite heavily on Nazis abusing their brand (If you take a Lonsdale shirt and wear a jacket over it says "nsda", only a "p" apart from what the Nazis want to wear). It's more craftiness, not really creative in the pure meaning of the word. Gollum is crafty, too.
It's a spin on RUN DMC's logo in case anyone is wondering
Oh damn you're right
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.
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.
Nooooooo, buying stuff is bad. Because capitalism.
But that's so much work.
