Switzerland is a nation of assholes

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 62 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've never met any Swiss, but their government sure is dogshit on the international stage at doing anything except protecting the ultra-wealthy.

[–] Widowmaker_Best_Girl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Their government comes from the people though. People raised in Swiss homes, were educated in Swiss schools, and worked in Swiss businesses. It's fair to say that the government is representative of the people.

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As much as Trump is representativ for americans.

[–] beatlepus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s fair to say that the government is representative of the people, which are assholes. ASS HOLES.

There's more racism here than I expected. Why so much hate?

Assuming you're a usalander, wouldn't you be pissed off if everyone assumed you were representative of your government? One of the most fucked up governments in the western world....

What's good for business is good for Switzerland.

"Everyone has a share. What's good for the company is good for all!"

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That appears to be our main goal concerning international relations I'm afraid.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

Not all of them, but they have some dark, greedy shit going on that's obviously systemic.

You're welcome! Make your country return what did not belong to the swiss in the first place!

Came looking for a Discussion, got shit on.

What's that quote about playing Chess with a pigeon again?

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Where are you from mate? Must be a really amazing country to have done nothing bad in the whole of history.

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And all americans are stupid.

Do I have to do /s thingy? Ah no, this isn't reddit.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You applying for citizenship?

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes of course. Who would want 5 weeks of paid leave, unlimited sickdays, health care that doesn't ruin you, university education without acquiring a crippling debt, functional infrastructure and a near-perfect public transport if you can have GuNs and FrEEdOM? Fuck yeah!

[–] bdesk@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're picking a fight with them, not me.

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your ridiculously reductive reasoning make you a tool though mate, a hateful ignorant piece of shit. But do take care :) x

[–] bdesk@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did not steal dictator money or keep stuff stolen from jewish people killed during the Holocaust. I'm not the hateful piece of shit here.

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nor did plenty of Swiss people. You understand the concept of racism right?

[–] bdesk@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then return the money and stolen goods! Do the swiss understand that concept?

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fantastic illustration of missing my point entirely. Do you think all Swiss people support and are happy with the profit they made in various wars?
