Fellas, is it nazi to be norwegian?

  What about the Æ or Å? Have any socially advanced thinkers identified other characters from languages of nations historically oppressed by Nazis as special symbols of Nazism?

    Ø, as in Tønsberg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Steinar#/media/File:T%C3%B8nsberg-Rosa-Luxemburg-Str-Berlin.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Steinar#/media/File:T%C3%...

      well yes, the twitter link is about the Ø. So I just wanted to know how susceptible the other letters were to being indicators of nazism.

        Oh, I misunderstood exactly. I'm a Norwegian in Germany, I even live in the Hauptstadt der Bewegung. The nazi assholes here do (try to) appropriate Norwegian names and the flag, but not Æ or Å, and I've never noticed other non-German letters. Until I hadn't thought about the Æ/Ø/Å discrepancy. Maybe it's because Ø isn't used elsewhere. There almost is an encyclopædia but Ø is of pure blood, if you'll pardon the spelling.
