Swiss and fucking everyone over getting in bed with authoritarian governments. You'd think the mountaincunts had money left over from the gold they pulled from the mouths of victims of the holocaust.

African gold it's not bloody enough, the misery and suffering adds to the value

The Western World: the Chinese government is a dangerous authoritarian government

Also the Western World: we should do billions and billions of dollars worth of trade with China.

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.

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....

I mean... not sure exactly what they said... but America has it's things for sure....

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.

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

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

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

And all americans are stupid.

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

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.

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

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?

"It says 'Return to the Republic of China', so I guess that's China." - some very confused mailman

More realistically speaking, it was sent to China for repairs... so it was probably just the Swiss company trying to cheap out on labor costs in the most horrendous way imaginable for Taiwanese national security.

No, they probably just don't give a shit or received some cash under the table. Do you really think Switzerland, a country known for being """neutral""" in the face of fascism and genocide, profiting off scams and white-collar crime committed in other countries, allowing Hitler to stash stolen Jewish gold and then stealing losing it after the Reich collapsed, and giving birth to the crime against humanity known as Nestle, would give a fuck about something as insignificant as allowing a sovereign nation's military technology fall into the hands of their imperialist next door neighbor?

You must live in an very dark place.

The whole western industry is doing business with China, sustaining us in our comfortable lives.

I don't know the exact context, but I guess it was just stupidity combined with business as usual.

Better go call up the Republic of China and tell them they're not China, then. I'm sure they'll be understanding.

Yes. Most do.

However there are two China's.

The Republic of China and the Peoples Republic of China. Both governments claim to be rightful governing bodies of China greater.
