vandalism rule

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.
I'm sad to say that it took me a minute to recognize the actual meaning.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one wondering. I thought I had missed something in the news.

Thats not vandalism. Thats just a public service.

It’s the same as putting flowers on every corner in your city.
- No violence
  But also no boundless pacifism
- Yeah and you will to, because you will be in prison, while you could actually do something productive to help people that need it.

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.
- 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
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.
But that's so much work.

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.
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?
Your comment sure is gonna show those people protesting Nazis! Right…?
- Your comment sure showed me! 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
