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.

BXN?

[-] LwL@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] Turun@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Huh, the more you know! I've almost exclusively seen the FCK AFD one.

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".

[-] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Is that like box wine?

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

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.
