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.
It’s a spin on RUN DMC’s logo in case anyone is wondering
Oh damn you’re right
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.
Huh, the more you know! I’ve almost exclusively seen the FCK AFD one.
BXN?
Yes, boxen (en: boxing, like in boxing gloves or kickboxing)
Boxen, presumably. Punching. So it’s saying punch nazis
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
You mean Nazis came up with something original? I’m very skeptical of that.
But that’s so much work.
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 “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.

What did New Zealanders do to OP?
I’m sad to say that it took me a minute to recognize the actual meaning.
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)
Hahaha Germans having no humor. So funny.
Why germans? Zeeland is in the Netherlands.
Because Zeeland gets taken over by Germans in the summer, and OP seems to be German.
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one wondering. I thought I had missed something in the news.
Chipped nails huh.
there’s no i in nazis. just remember that.

Do you mean “vndlsm rl”?
No way, that’s that black cloth thing over that hand?
BADASS.
Do you live in a steampunk novel?
I just dress how I feel most comfortable
Inspiring
Steampunk is a state of mind.
Oh wow it looks so good. Real cool
Heeee heeee - Michael Jackson, probably
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
Gaiter*
Fingerless glove? 🤷
Thats not vandalism. Thats just a public service.
It’s the same as putting flowers on every corner in your city.
Punch a Nazi in the face, he’ll only remember it as a time he was oppressed.
Stomp a Nazi’s head in, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life.
No violence
But also no boundless pacifism
We are not immune to propaganda
I hate the idea of someone spinning it positive, somewhere in there it should have an “OFF”.
Fuck Nazis…off?
/S
Fuck off Nazis though, maybe off a bridge or something.
Off Nazis Fuck
Yeah, that’s gonna show those 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
Your comment sure is gonna show those people protesting Nazis! Right…?
Your comment sure showed me! 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…
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.
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.You rock!
And roll…
Lol, sorry… 😂Thanks.
What a grand idea, thanks
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.
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
You’re protesting against the stickers?
The arabs were right. Vowels are overrated.
I thought that was Hebrew. Arabic, too?
