What did New Zealanders do to OP?

[-] [email protected] 113 points 7 months ago

They took old zeeland from me

[-] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

Old zeeland is still where it used to be. (I would make a joke about Germans here, but can't think of anything clever right now)

[-] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Hahaha Germans having no humor. So funny.

Thats not vandalism. Thats just a public service.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

It’s the same as putting flowers on every corner in your city.

The fuck is this? Write it out in full - Fuck Nazis.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

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.

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".

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Oh damn you're right

[-] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Nooooooo, buying stuff is bad. Because capitalism.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

But that's so much work.

*community beautification project

[-] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that's gonna show those nazis! Right?...

[-] [email protected] 70 points 7 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 36 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Probably why the person made that comment - they're privileged enough to not even consider that apart from potentially making Nazis feel unwelcome (because literally no one thinks stickers will "defeat Nazism"), and more importantly, this kind of action makes those the Nazis target feel seen and know that at least some locals would have your back..

[-] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

This is also why I wear my pro-LGBT+ shirts around town. In a progressive city somewhere, it would probably make little difference -- but in this rural conservative area, it's really important to show people that they have allies.

Plus, it works as chud repellant. I have fewer people approaching me telling me the most bigoted shit I've ever heard, thinking I'll agree.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Yeah, same. I don't often leave the house, but when I do being a wheelchair user I know I already draw attention from all sorts of people, some good, some bad, so I just lean in to it and have a load of pins on my jacket, some progress pride flags, some "immigrants welcome" type messaging, some autism and disability visibility.. Might as well..
Lets those who need it know they're not alone, and others know their bullshit won't be tolerated.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

What a grand idea, thanks

[-] [email protected] 17 points 7 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.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 7 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

[-] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago

I'm also protesting on the streets against them

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

You're protesting against the stickers?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

The arabs were right. Vowels are overrated.

No way, what's that black cloth thing over that hand? EDIT: Changed "that's" to "what's", I marked in in italic.

Do you live in a steampunk novel?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I just dress how I feel most comfortable

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago
[-] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Steampunk is a state of mind.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Oh wow it looks so good. Real cool

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Fingerless glove? 🤷

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Fuck Nazis.....off?

/S

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