I mean if you’re able to see a Swastika here you’re the one with a problem
Fun fack, in Latvian “a sharp knife” is “ass nazis”.
Hey, that’s the cross my grandpa used to wear! Pretty cool that they included it.
If anyone’s wondering, Nazi symbols are banned in Latvia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_symbols_of_Latvia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_symbols_of_Latvia) What is not banned are pagan folk symbols, [https://latvians.com/index.php?en/CFBH/Zimes/zimes-00-sheet.ssi](https://latvians.com/index.php?en/CFBH/Zimes/zimes-00-sheet.ssi) There has been court rulings that these pagan symbols (notably fire cross or swastika) are legal as long they are being used in the pagan context and NOT with WW II and nazis.
In poor taste IMO, but not glorifying Austrian painter.
Latvians are generally pissed off about some shit Austrian painter stole their symbol and refuse to stop using it. You do not fuck with Latvian pagan symbols on wood carvings.
It gets even better, when they have a formation of skaters forming a “firecross”, before ice hockey against a Russian team (https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-25037443). Because the orcs of course have no concept of Latvian culture and history (largely because they have no culture nor civilisation themselves, also they have no future).
Also, “sharp knife” is “ass nazis” in Latvian, which makes for a fun supermarket experience for everyone, when visiting Latvia.

The mayor of the town with this waterfall is a right winger and has included the fire cross with the other symbols before. [https://lastatic.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2022/12/20221128_182034-819×1024.jpg](https://lastatic.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2022/12/20221128_182034-819×1024.jpg)
