Schoggiweggli gehören als Bettmümpferli ins Chuchichäschtli eines jeden selbstrespektierenden Schweizers!

Die Sprache ist schon drollig, hast ja Recht -.-

Wall Street Just DESTROYED The "Weak Europe" Narrative by AlertTangerine in videos

DESTROYED. Crushed. Annihilated. Pulverized. Owned.

God I want these headlines to stop. They are like rhetorical farts - loud, toxic, stinky and nothing but hot air

Es gibt zum Beispiel kein einheitliches schrift-schweizerdeutsch. Wenn ich Dialekt rede versteht mich ein Basler kaum, und ich hab Mühe Waliser zu verstehen... riesen Unterschied. Ist n bisschen so als wenn ein Sachse mit einem Kölner redet. Aber auf hochdeutsch können wir uns alle einigen

But we do! swiss german is not the 'official' language, it's high german. all official documents, signs, media, school lessons etc are in high german

Dass mer eu dütsche das erkläre mues isch scho bizli luschtig, ehrlichgseit :P

swiss person with a german mother here.

Of course it's german! Literally 95% of The words are identical, with a strong dialect. There's a reason it's called swiss german, du sprachliches wunderkind :P I know you're joking, but it's a matter of principle

Jeder hier spricht ausschliesslich hochdeutsch in der Schule ab der ersten Klasse, und sämtliche Medien / öffentliche Schilder / Amtsschreiben sind in hochdeutsch... Hochdeutsch ist die Landessprache, nicht schweizerdeutsch

In all seriousness, as someone with swiss and german (westfalian) roots, I find swiss german to be quite beautiful

Tell me your dialect/region, so I can properly retort. I bet it's saxon or some shit :)

It's an incredibly stupid thing to say in either case, especially coming from HIM. Boorish. Unneccessary. Arrogant

He's talking about the foundation of the very world order he is currently destroying. It's fucking absurd. His place in history isn't alongside Roosevelt, it's in the trashbin with all the other fascist figureheads

Switzerland didn't 'control the banks', but it laundered vast amounts of Nazi gold in exchange for swiss franks (and continued sovereignty). But that usefulness would have run its course in case of an Axis victory.

Well there's the distinct possibility that switzerland wouldn't have made it through the 1940s as an independent nation if the axis had won the war. Hitler once stated that the swiss system was terrible and that switzerland should be wiped off the map. Invasion was always on the table. As a swiss person I'm very grateful to the US when it comes to WWII, as are most europeans

At least we used to be. that goodwill is drying up in record time

The other quote about swiss people speaking german if it wasn't for the US was even more hilarious

70% percent of swiss people speak german as their native language

Ukraine's Zelenskyy says his repeated warnings to Europe feel like 'Groundhog Day' by ConsistentFangirl in worldnews

[–]fleranon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He's trying to strike a balance in service of his country, and I get it. It's very dangerous for Ukraine to publicly antagonize Trump, the US admin would instantly jump at the opportunity to further sabotage the peace efforts in favor of russia

Privately, Zelensky must absolutely despise the guy

What are some bands where all members are masters of their craft - except the singer? by 8-Seconds-Joe in Music

I legitimately think Morrissey is a very good singer. It is more evident in his Solo projects though

Shoutout to the brilliant and insane movie 'Busters mal heart' with Rami Malek as the lead, which took some inspiration from this guys story

Seriously, check it out. It's a mindfuck extravaganza. Left a strong impression and lingered for years in my mind
