ZYKLON ZENZ HAS NO FRIENDS

Zyklon is a word that Neo-Nazis already use as a compliment, see "Zyklon Ben" and "Generation Zyklon". The far right is not going to see "Zyklon Zenz" an insult because they already use the word positively. Zyklon is often used as a hate symbol by Neo-Nazis.

It's weird for a leftist community to be naming the specific brand of chemical that was used in Nazi concentration camps.

Nazi is neutral descriptor to the far right. Nazi is also a well known term.

You wouldn't use any of the other obscure symbols that neonazis use positively either. You wouldn't call them 1488, blood and soil, aryan master race, etc.

Think about the optics. Zyklon is a rather obscure term that some people wouldn't know. You google Zyklon and it shows that it's hate symbol used positively by neonazis. Now it looks like you're using a dog whistle.

Zyklon is not obscure dude, literally every kid learns about it several times in school in the US
