- JumpCrisscross 4mo ago> refusing to speak Swiss I know this is tongue in cheek. But one of the hallmarks of a nation of immigrants is the enforced tolerance of speaking multiple national languages. Lots of people who only speak on throws off that balance.
- rdtsc 4mo ago> While they're at it, they should kick out the French, the Germans, the Italians, and any other immigrants refusing to speak Swiss. What's this Swiss language you speak of? I never heard of it. You must mean Romansh but that's only 0.5% of the population or so. You'd have to kick out 95.5% of the Swiss population too then?
- JumpCrisscross 4mo agoThat’s their point. Switzerland is a nation of immigrants. We don’t tend to be portrayed as such outside. And the SVP tends to forget this. (As does the GOP.)
- lovich 4mo agoAre you Swiss? I thought you were American from previous interactions.
- JumpCrisscross 4mo ago> Are you Swiss? I thought you were American from previous interactions I’m more than one thing. (But only vote in two places.)
- rdtsc 4mo agoAh you're right. I did miss their sarcasm. Sometimes you can't tell online https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
