Gonna be real, I don't think that's got anything to do with Nazism at all and isn't nazi style.... Probably a relationship he has or something or a different affiliation.
It's just a normal lightning bolt. Too pointy.
Gothic gemanic lettering + lighting bolt?
That's nazi shit.
It's not Gothic Germanic, and even then, that's not necessarily nazi either.
Note how the "N" is not the same as the N in the picture which is more akin to what we use
I think the Nazi lightning bolt was a lot different, but I'm not so sure.
To be honest, I think it's more of him and his s/o's initials. That's the first thing that comes to mind when I see it. But could be another Nazi dogwhistle. Who knows. Saw someone else call this "Temu Nazi"
You see British Blackletter being used by right wing extremists often as a replacement for Gothic German Fraktur. Nazis often have no sense of typography.
The actual NSDAP Nazis actually discouraged use of Fraktur, because it was thought to be related to Hebrew writing and pushed Grotesque and Antiqua fonts instead.
Interesting
