Today is Statehood Day in Lithuania. You are legally obligated to hoist the national flag outside your home or else you will get fined.
>lithuanian>patrioticFor what?
>>222894766Not legally enforced but socially enforced
>>222894766Kind of based just because it would make whiny faggots emigrate faster
>>222894766I don't give a shit about this country and if war started here, I would be mobilized, then the moment I get a gun with ammunition I will shoot myself immediately
>>222894766no, we're unironnically patriotic
>>222894766>>222894852just put a flag up, slavboy.
>>222894766Sound like a humiliation ritual. I mean there's nothing bad in rising up the flag of your country. But when you're OBLIGATED, yes, humiliation ritual.
>>222894938There's nothing more slavic than state-enforced patriotism
>>222894804They were kind of relevant in the 1500s.
>>222895823Lithuania then was a Slavic state, the Lithuanian language wasn't used in official business and either Latin or Ruthenian was used. The first capital was in modern Belarus and was completely Slavic speaking. The modern state of 'Lithuania' has as much to do with the medieval Lithuania as modern Russia to the Kievan Rus.
>>222895979>The modern state of 'Lithuania' has as much to do with the medieval Lithuania as modern Russia to the Kievan Rus.Even less, actually.
>>222896010Russia hasn't existed since 1917
>>222896080Come to think of it, you're more like Ukraine in that sense. Has less to do with the whole state, but retained the capital of the Grand Duchy.
>>222894766no, nobody cares. i only got a balcony flag anyway and im rarely at home during flag holidays so its not used often. when an old friend died in an mc crash weeks ago i looked up if there was some rules to flag half-mast with a balcony flag and there wasnt, just some comments its better not to flag at all since its hard to see if it at half or full. there i also found the official law that you flag half mast before the funeral but once he is underground you should raise it to the top for the rest of the day. never seen that done here but it makes perfect sence.
