What is that supposed to mean? I assume fight, right?
It's a bit close to the f-slur for my tastes
But in Germany we got NZS BXN, (Nazis boxen, "punch nazis"), which I am partial to
Yes, it's fight. I didn't think about the similarity to the slur, thanks for pointing that out.
I like the ambivalence of "fight nazis". I feel like it calls for a permanent, strategic resistance to fascism, and also encompasses getting one's hands dirty. It is also probably better for optics, if it weren't for what you pointed out.
I like the spirit behind it, and it is the most obvious interpretation. It's just that this format of sticker usually takes a word and leaves out the vowels, so it breaks the pattern a little bit.
I thought it was the slur. I never would've guessed it meant fight. Instead of trying to be cute about it, maybe they could just make a bigger sticker.
My first guess was "forget", which does not sound too great. Forgetting nazis is a thing certian right-wing politicans want
I saw stickers with BXN a bunch of times (also living in Germany), but I feel like way less than in the past? But also I'm not exactly living in Antifa City, so that could be on me
Ich hab gerade erst deinen Namen gelesen, haha ^-^
Mir sind die Sticker schon des öfteren begegnet, aber ich treibe mich auch in linksversifften Kreisen rum, daran könnte es liegen
Bei mir sind es die links-grünversifften Kreise :D
War das Auslassen von "grün" Absicht oder nur wegen des Kontexts? Ich hab zumindest mal davon gehört, dass manche linke Personen da gerne differenzieren/sich distanzieren
Oh, so war das gar nicht gemeint ^^
grün sind die Kreise selbstverständlich auch. Klima, Umwelt und Gesellschaft sind ja praktisch untrennbare Probleme, linke Politik muss auch grün sein, genauso wie Klimaschutz antifaschistisch und antikapitalistisch sein muss.
Ist das ein Ding, dass sich Linke von solchen Themen distanzieren? Das kommt mir ziemlich verblendet vor :/
