What did New Zealanders do to OP?

- They took old zeeland from me

  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)

  Technically they took Aotearoa in the name of Zeeland.

- Glad to see I wasn't the only one wondering. I thought I had missed something in the news.

- I'm sad to say that it took me a minute to recognize the actual meaning.

Thats not vandalism. Thats just a public service.

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

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

- 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.

- 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.

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

  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".

- But that's so much work.

The arabs were right. Vowels are overrated.

- I thought that was Hebrew. Arabic, too?

Chipped nails huh.

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

2
- Fuck Nazis.....off?
  
  /S
  
  Fuck off Nazis though, maybe off a bridge or something.

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

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

  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..

  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.

- 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

- 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

- I'm also protesting on the streets against them
  
  2
- Your comment sure is gonna show those people protesting Nazis! Right…?

  Your comment sure showed me! Right?...

We are not immune to propaganda

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

  Neat. I would've guessed it was like a wrist gator, I have 2 snowboard jackets with those built in so I always have fingerless gloves at the ready
