if anyone wonders: the german word for "shit" can be written short with two s instead of ß: "Scheiss" and of course he picked that version, so he could use the double s for the nazi symbol.
That guy handcrafted the quiet part out loud.
Writing Scheiße with two s is considered the old way and generally never done. It's also often considered wrong.
So its very interesting to read that it was done on purpose here for political reasons.
ß is very old too, but sonetimes people have to use an English input method (typewriter, keyboard, printing press) that doesn't come with ß. Usually that happens when a technology is very new and not localised yet. In that case double s is used. So, double s actually gets a renaissance every once in a while and often feels newer.
Almost unbelievable levels of cringe
