Yeaah, you know what? The red tile and white circle added in there are the bit that says “i hate jews”, not “happy traditional east indian thingie of spirituality”. That bathroom is kind of.. epic crazy.
@...nyokki: I’m not saying it isn’t the swastika, just saying it doesn’t represent the true meaning of it. The swastika is an ancient good luck symbol associated with Hinduism, Buddhism, and a multitude of oriental traditions. It is more than 5,000 years old, but its misappropriation by the Nazis obscured its true meaning.
@...ColombianMonkey: That may be true but the Nazis are the last to have used it and it will need more than a generation or two before enough time has one by for it to be accepted as something more than the ‘Nazi insignia’, except perhaps in the Asian countries were it has always been used.
agh, yet more bad reputation for finland… >.<
the best part of this photo.. The ad that is located under it (at time of posting) says in big letters.
“Work Abroad In Germany!”
Hehe.
Shower Nazis must die!!!
Well before it was a symbol for genocide it was used in eastern religions. You have to admit its good tile work.

Yeah I think by now most people know that the swastika meant something different, originally.
I was going to say that it’s a really pretty bathroom.
@...Zingata:
what bad rep?
Everyone knows you never fuck with Russians in the winter, and Russians know to never fuck with Finns in the winter.
if the penguins ever rise up against us it will be the Finns that save us.
this symbol doesn’t represent the swastika… because it has a flag with a red background, and a white disk.
I can’t imagine what that’s going to do for the resale value of the house…
@...AliceH:
Well, there’s got to be more than one Neo-Nazi in any given country, so there’s always at least one more potential buyer.

Actually, this is the bathroom in a downtown flat in central stockholm.
I saw the whole prospect as a pdf a couple of years ago.
it was only the bathroom that was nazi-iezed..
the rest was standard swedish interior.
LOL
There’s always gotta be someone who thinks knowing the symbol wasn’t drawn by Hitler himself makes them a smarty. Way to get through grade 8, jackass.
He used it because Caesar used it and Caesar got it from Egypt who in turn adopted it from India.
False.
The Swastika was originally a rejected shape from Tetris.
OMG that is fucking badass, I’m tiling my baffroom just like that.
Why have there not been Ninja Nazis who throw swastika throwing stars?
Seriously they dropped the ball there. That would have been badass.
@...Blondie: before 1930 the swastika were used almost everywhere.
In Helsingborg, Sweden for example, we have lamp posts with swastikas.

I want to poop in their drain.
@...ColombianMonkey:
What does that mean? Just because it’s slightly different doesn’t mean it’s not the swastika we all know and love.

@...nyokki: true and not true. people like us are educated enough to share the love of wiki.
Alrighty then.
@...Blondie: Didn’t you see Sin City? That’s as close as you’re going to get, probably.
