I am aware (of the Judenlettern decree). The reference to exactly this was intentional.

(Edit to make this really obvious: The joke here is that "fraktur = nazis" became such a meme that the nazis themselves were annoyed by it and forbade its use, but this is exactly the kind of thing the present administration would either be unaware of or simply ignore and then use fraktur intentionally to pander to neo-nazis.)

Thanks for spelling it out. I had a feeling that's the point you were making, but that level of subtlety has a hard time getting through, even on highbrow hn. Hence I like to err on the side of spelling things out, especially since I'm much more often a reader than a writer.

Do you know anything about the Nazis, other than that they are bad?

They used Fraktur extensively before 1941 and it's closely associated with Nazi imagery. This is all explained in that link I posted.

I prefer to think of Lie groups, but it's rife in the Nazi propaganda of the 30s, official documents etc.

Interesting. So it’s more a case of “we have always been at war with Oceania”
