I’m not bragging about diversity just replying to someone calling switzerland an ethnostate. Jeez!

And I wouldn’t brag about most the US population being migrants from a couple centuries ago because that comes with the fact you practically wiped out the native population.

If you’d like to compare the US and Switzerland without using citizenship you could use percentage or forgein born population. 37% of the Swiss population vs 18% of the US population.

But I didn’t mean to start a US vs Switzerland contest, I just used US based statistics in my previous answer to illustrate how Switzerland is not currently an ethnostate. Especially since Switzerland contains 4 distinctive ethnicities since centuries. Schywzerdütsch have a very different culture than swiss romands or swiss italians etc. We don’t even speak the same language…

Agreed but that’s beside the point. I’m able to spend maybe 15-30 minutes a day on my phone. And apart from that I spend the rest of the day tubefed and unable to open my eyes.

If I “HAD” to work, I wouldn’t “force myself” because I cannot, I would die of starvation or whatever comes first when I run out of money.

Let’s make that an annual pilgrimage.

I’m mute, deaf, mostly paralysed and have strict cognitive limitations. I can’t work.

I voted for the ones who treat me like shit but let me stay alive and want to keep it that way.

Instead of the ones threatening to let me rot homeless in the streets until I die.

Yes that’s definitely a part. But we also score far higher than other european countries on percentage of forgien born population and a bunch of other metrics. You can’t deny Switzerland is extremely multicultural.

Though our diversity tends to be majoritarily european and western. I think we have a smaller black or arab population than our neighbours.

I’m Swiss too (dual citizen with US) haha. And yeah man it’s so much easier to just get the letter without even needing to register to vote or whatever. Automatically get it when you turn 18 and an election comes up.

switzerland? we’re 25% non-citizens which is the highest rate in europe (excluding microstates). Has caused some reactionary stuff though hence the rise of the racist far right party.

That’s compared to 7-8% of the US population for example. Or 12% of the German population (though getting german citizenship is easier than getting swiss citizenship).

Reminds me of this racist poster by the local far right party (switzerland).

“Expel criminal foreigners. Achieve security.”

Seems like the title needs an edit here.

Snowtires please

Thanks for this. I never noticed I had a 3 week old report open on a LW community I modded because it never federated with my instance.
