This is a common rhetorical device that is itself built out of two fundamental devices; call for unity and rule of three. It's use here doesn't seem noteworthy to me. The only reason to conjure up Hitler is to attack the message as a reaction against electronics standardization.
I really don't think Yog has anything against USB-C standardization. We all think it's a good thing, or so I would think. But this specific wording, "One x. One y. One z." is not that common and exactly like one of the most common Nazi slogans, and it's the EU Commission saying it. It's just a silly shitpost, I think.
Yog mass reposts with little scrutiny which is great for keeping the place alive but does mean they're prone to dredging up some crap from time to time. Deep read the xcancel thread in the op if you want to understand the motivation behind associating hitler with usb-c. You will also find many comments associating usb-c with communism and Islam which I somehow think might not based on the phrasing of the original tweet...
Every Twitter post where someone points out something fascist is inevitably going to have some chuds commenting how this is actually communism or Islamic sharia or whatever. It's just background noise.
I know that there are weird reactionaries who complain about it for other reasons and it would make sense for this to only come to Yog's attention due to them bellyaching, but what was reposted was the original post from the EU Commission itself, so I don't think it makes sense to project this sort of thing onto it. The repost isn't a blanket endorsement of what every chud on twitter is saying in the replies.
