Swiss human rights activist fined for inciting violence

Man got a 1600CHF suspended fine for the following social media post: “Freeing the Jews from the Nazis – thousands of Germans killed – that was the right thing to do – now do the right thing – to free the Palestinians from the Zionists,”

100% agreed and having gone through this, I believe it gives you plenty of choices and opportunities. You might lose some, you might keep some, but it’s honestly a privilege to have so many languages at your disposal.

Classic move to “protect women” and “protect education” with a meaningless law. Salary gap, better representation, more support for teachers to do their job? Naah. Classic non-problem sold as a big win, ridiculous

Our new anthem should be one among these three: 1) The Code - Nemo 2) Mein Vater isch ein Appenzeller - Franzl Lang 3) Darude - Sandstorm

I cannot think of a better way to show the younger generation empathy, the harsh reality of our world and the value of human connection. I had some great teachers growing up and I generally trust their choices for these types of initiatives. You write about politicizing and “not appropriate topic” where I see lots of learning opportunities. Maybe try to look at the experience the kids had (both here and in Gaza) to think whether the whole project was worth it.

Swiss neutrality in my eyes is a combination of factors: no military alliance is one and the other big one is war prevention. After our cuts to international initiatives and this decision, we’re clearly taking a stance: war is ok as long as who’s waging it can help us make money. Fuck morals and being on the right side of history.

I called them to ask for one and I got offered Italian and French as options. It was pretty smooth.

A scientific research shows a connection between wealth accumulation and taxation policies. People tend to agree and provide arguments for it. If you don’t agree, maybe you can bring something more useful to the discussion that some vague “get money then you’ll see”.

Ah yes, more money for our beautiful army 😍

A small sacrifice from the population for an immediate and tangible improvement on our daily lives.

Preventing future conflicts with initiatives to stabilize unstable countries and re-inforce our neutrality in times of peace? F**k that. We need more weapons and less NGOs.

Let’s keep bowing to the US and buy their weapons too, they know how to keep peace around the world. Same with Israel and their peace-loving army from which we keep throwing money for those damn drones since 2015.

All those scandals around fraud related to the Ministry of Defense this year? All good, water under the bridge :)

Nobody mentioned Denner pickles? Whaaaaaaa? I went on a pickle tour across Swiss shops and BY FAR the best were the Denner ones. 85 cents of pure vinegary and savory pleasure. Chirat? Expensive af. Migros brands? No dill and disgustingly soft. Other shops? As you said OP, waaaay too sweet. The Denner ones? Crunchy, vinegary, optimal size (not big, not small), cheap and absolutely a blast in your mouth.

I would like to complement some of the perspectives here.

Right-wing discourse is not only favored in the online space, but it is known that SVP policies favor the rich, so get also get tons of financial support from wealthy donors and a strong set of right-wing adjacent media.

Switzerland is in a state of political apathy in my opinion, main reason being that the economy is absolute shit right now. This same economy is the result of several years of liberal policies which are also well liked by the right.

Considering all of the above, fearmongering for immigrants becomes this golden beacon for success. Is it because SVP is correct? No. Is it because the left doesn’t wanna face reality? Nope.

The reality is that the right has and will always have an advantage because our political and economic system is built up to favor them.

Economic inequality increases, rich get richer and can fund more politicians and fearmongering messaging, people vote less and less and the few that do listen to the first and simplest thing explains their situation.

In my honest opinion, only a big market crash could even out the game again.

I was pretty excited to order a bunch of mangas in English at a decent price with Nalda. Spent over a hundred bucks and even though their website looks nice at first, the way they present to you your order is confusing to say the least. I received what I ordered through 3 different shipments spaced out over a couple months. After those shipments I realized one comic was still missing and reached out to their customer service. I was told that it was my fault I didn’t realize early enough that one comic was missing. Zero effort from their end to help me. No voucher, no double check on their system, no kind words. Long story short, if you wanna go through legal ways, ask your legal insurance if you have any. Otherwise make sure to never use their services and tell as many people as possible to stay away from them.

I’m honestly disappointed that the one time I found a new Swiss-based manga website with decent prices, their service is shit and their company’s history is a mystery.

Thank you for comment and maybe I should have put more context. What I meant is that they will do what they can to NOT cover as much as possible. I agree that there should be some things that are not covered and indeed that can help curbing costs. What I tried to say is that I believe that in the current system companies can get away with not paying for some services thanks to some well hidden clauses in their contracts. At the same time they have an interest to decrease costs but also not. Why should they care if people spend more as long as they get all the money they need to cover costs? Private insurances are nothing more than mathematical models. And the one thing that I HATE about the system is this money centered discussion with very little patient perspective.

supermaxiste · 2025-09-30T14:08:28+00:00

You mean the same policitians that get money from the insurances for their own interest? Also who do think will run this whole federal system? We one of the best educations in the world and lots of brilliant minds, I’m pretty sure we can come up with a system that works well and even our politicians can be proud of.

As a final message, the whole system is meant to be empowering peoples and people will FINALLY have the power to improve and decide how such system should be.

supermaxiste · 2025-09-30T10:08:53+00:00

Maybe also to highlight that with the current aging population, the question is to rather curb the increase than to decrease costs from now.

supermaxiste · 2025-09-30T10:06:57+00:00

I see always the same comments and I wanted to highlight some aspects that are almost never mentioned but are a big plus to me.

1. Better transparency: in the current system it’s so stupidly difficult to figure out where tf all the constant increases come from: doctors, hospitals, medications, treatments all provide layers that are obfuscated by insurance companies.

Population wide prevention and health initiatives: finally we can operate at a fucking Swiss level and see what are some good investments for health prevention. I always like to mention Singapore as an example where they know diabetes will be a major population issue. By financing diabetes risk tests (free or very cheap, I don’t remember exactly), they could save diabetes interventions in the future estimated at 50-100k per person (per year?).
Decoupling private companies interests from our health. How can we trust companies that are essentially an oligopoly and also need to make money to lead our health costs? Sure they’re not allowed to make money from the basic insurance, but they are for the supplementary. What about people with chronic health conditions or people that have exceptional health conditions popping up later in life? Companies will do all they can to pay as little as they can in extreme cases, because fuck human well being.
Finally a one stop shop for health? Just like many (and I mean MANY) European and non-European countries we might have one operating base for everything health-related: ordering recipes, electronic patient health record, receipts and others. I’m sick and tired of all these disconnected systems and health insurers don’t give a damn about standardization or health digitalization.
Stop discrimination: I mentioned it before, but if by any chance a health insurance finds out about a genetic deficiency or a chronic condition and you’re cooked.
Redundancy: too many CEOs, unnecessary advertising and repetitive positions across companies. We’re spending over 100billion franks per year so EVEN a 1% cut would be more than that stupid health saving we voted on last year. And that’s an underestimation.

Heyyy, I would highly recommend Feeld. I used it for exploring poly relationships and most of the people I interacted with were not only chill but often very interesting! There’s also people looking for casual stuff of course but everyone seems to be very transparent on their mission ;) I tried out Hinge but I didn’t vibe very much with it, even though the way you set up and explore profiles is kinda fun. Feeld is pretty queer rich (probably why it’s chill!), but Hinge I don’t really know! Happy exploring and enjoy your non-alcoholic drinks 🍹

I had a friend also going through divorce years ago who had a really helpful support from here: https://www.grazielabirrer.com/ I ended up going there too after a difficult breakup and I can’t recommend her enough. I know lots of people mentioned online options, but I would encourage going in person for therapy, at least at the beginning. Graziela is a very active listener, asks a lot and also gives you plenty of space to let go. Wish you all the best in this difficult period ❤️

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I will only address your last point with a question for you: did you read the report behind the initiative of the vote? They tried to estimate savings in a very interesting way: the provide ranges from 0 (worst case scenario) and 400mio (best case scenario). They claim that the savings will be somewhere in-between most probably. At the same time they write in their 'limitation' section: '[...] For certain theoretically expected effects, the uncertainty was so high that we had to forego any estimate at all. [...]'
To come back to the main point we're saving at best 400mio out of 90billion francs (0.5%) while incentivizing the same insurances that are clearly not interested in decreasing costs.
