        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)

            Because Zeeland gets taken over by Germans in the summer, and OP seems to be German.

        Technically they took Aotearoa in the name of Zeeland.

      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.

            Boxen, presumably. Punching. So it’s saying punch nazis

            Yes, boxen (en: boxing, like in boxing gloves or kickboxing)

        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”.

            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.

            It’s not really new in the sense that it’s the same ole “dress old symbols in new clothing to circumvent the ban on use of those symbols”. I think the HKN KRZ thing came after Londsdale, the clothing producer, came down quite heavily on Nazis abusing their brand (If you take a Lonsdale shirt and wear a jacket over it says “nsda”, only a “p” apart from what the Nazis want to wear). It’s more craftiness, not really creative in the pure meaning of the word. Gollum is crafty, too.

      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.

        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…

        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
