It's a symbol, often used by the baltic cultures, often symbolizing sun, god, or perkūnas (a god similiar to zeus). And boy was it popular.
Many traditional clothes, chests, doors, furniture are often decorated with svastikas.
It's a neat little symbol and fuck the nazis trying to monopolize it.
Fuck them baltics, eh?
I guess you're right. My comment wasn't very nice. Although I really miss living in a village. City life is easier on the environment, but fuck is it lonely.
I envy you. I lived in 3 commie block apartments that the soviets built. Even though build from concrete, you could always hear neighbours from all sides except below.
Neighbours above had two children that would chase one another. Sounded like elephants from above.
Surprisingly moving away from the city into a brick apartment actually solved most of the sound problems. The building is even older, was built in between occupations around 1920.
Although there are still problems due to moded cars and bikes driving around. Need to move out again, further...
I see you haven't lived in an apartment, if you believe people here hate just because they hate people.
It's easy to call it out like that, but I that apartments have design flaw, that it dehumanizes your neighbours.
Something along road rage. You are stuck in a container and interaction with others are limited to annoyance.
Maybe coop apartments would have a way to solve it, but it will break down if multiple suites are built next to each other. You can know/befriend a very limited amount of people.
It's impossible to not hear your neighbours in an apartment. There are ways to reduce that, but almost no apartment is built like that. Not to mention that often you want to open windows for fresh air and get to breathe in smoke from cigarettes. It's a different kind of hell to live in one. I agree that it looks nicer from outside. There can even be parks nearby. But never venture there after dark, because you'll get your vallet stolen. Due to that every street must be light up during the night, and now you can't see the stars...
Anyhow. People fucking suck
You can always try to shoot the Commisar or surrendet to Ukies. Russia isn't a democracy
Oh boy! I'm hungry! Better go kill people for money!
Took us a while, but we hope you enjoy!
That's extremely surprising. At least here in Lithuania we were taught about it in schools. Also during folk festivals like "Mėnuo Juodaragis" or "Kilkim Žaibu" there are tradesmen, they often have accesories for sale including the sun symbol.
Where are you from?
