Sharing is not agreeing. I can share values with someone I don't agree with. Switzerland has shared values for instance, it is a country build upon that principle. I bet every society has some. Humans too.

- Bengalilol 1y agoDo you know Switzerland and its democratic system? I am referring to those shared values that are enshrined in the Swiss Federal Constitution: Freedom, Human dignity, Equality, Democracy, Multilingualism and cultural diversity, Federalism, Solidarity. (that is not an exhaustive list).
