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

        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.

            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…

        I’ve met 2 swiss people, they wouldn’t shut the fuck up about how horrible america was on their vacation here. This isn’t proof of anything but it is an anecdote I have an excuse to post now

          Actually thinking about it, my one anecdote is that my interviewer for a job application was Swiss. Didn’t offer any pleasantries to make me feel less nervous just dove straight into the technical task straight away. I didn’t get the job

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

          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!

            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.

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

                  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?
