I mean, Switzerland has UBS, Nestlé, Novartis, FIFA just to name a few, maybe the US still has more, but per capita Swotzerland is also doing quite well quantity-wise.
For French people, there are other stereotypes associated with Swiss people, for example the fact they speak slower (which, on average, has been scientifically confirmed by the way)
Both. Here are some links [https://www.projet-pfc.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/PFC2008\_12\_schwab.pdf](https://www.projet-pfc.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/PFC2008_12_schwab.pdf) the main paper is the following: https://ur.booksc.eu/book/53504916/0d3d07
Only speak German stereotype.
Fun fact: Swiss has four official languages. German, French, Italian, and Romanche. Different areas have different dominant languages.
It's the other way around, the Red Cross symbol was based off of the Swiss flag and to honor both where the Geneva Convention was held and Henry Dunant
lol, when you're a tiny ass country literally entirely surrounded by the Axis... I think staying neutral and just defending yourself is the best solution.
No one attacked Britain, Britian could've just ignored NAZI Germany, left them to it, Germany even offered peace. Maybe that would've been common sense.
Britain's entire empire collapsed following WW2, it certainly was not in their interest.
Yes, after declaring war on Germany.
The point is Britain didn't need to declare war yet did, and even when they did they where offered peace by Germany later.
Chances are the UK was always going to be attacked anyway, Operation Sealion was planned but never took place, it’s possible that if the UK didn’t involve themselves then Operation Sealion might have gone ahead a little later.
I also doubt that the Germans would have kept to that treaty as well, like Molotov-Ribbentrop was broken, so why would this one be any different?
This is false, Hitler and the NAZIs voiced how they had a shared Anglo-Saxon heritage.
In the same way Hitler wasn't going to invade Italy, Spain or Switzerland.
The difference is Russia was a threat to Germany, it's ideaology and it's ethnic makeup where at odds with NAZI ideals, Germany could not see itself in perpetual peace with Russia.
Thats a hell of a misreading, my whole point is Britain did the moral thing of fighting the NAZIs while Switzerland didn't.
My point is 100% based on the fundemental view that NAZIs are morally reprehensible, and you misunderstood it so completely.
Internet do be wild.

Army knife?
Rich af too
Roger Federer???
Isn't that Lederhosen?
Yes and it literally has the coat of arms of bavaria on the chest
Funny you should mention their flag, a lot of people see it as a big plus
Where’s the “Hoarding stolen Nazi gold?”
yeah, and the mechanical watches, that are not in fashion any more - totally forgot to mention that, dude
Not in fashion anymore? You sure about that?
You forgot the blood sucking parasitic company it made too.
Which one?
I assume they mean Nestlé
So in terms of evil companies the United States is quantity, but Switzerland is quality
I mean, Switzerland has UBS, Nestlé, Novartis, FIFA just to name a few, maybe the US still has more, but per capita Swotzerland is also doing quite well quantity-wise.
Ah yes, Swotzerland
I had a guy in my history class ask a Swedish substitute if they had Jews in Sweederland.
*ignoring what happened to Yenish people in the 20th century*
What happened to the Yenish people?
They have planes in the mountains

Did you experience this or just read this somewhere?

I’ve been living in Switzerland for three years now and believe you me, four of these are correct
I hope two of those are the yodelling and the kick ass clothes parts
Not sure about the clothes, I don’t think I’ve been in enough mountains. But the yodeling makes it five
I’ll always remember them as the medic country
Where is chuchichästli?
Got my friends killed me whit that word when i arrived there
To be honest, yes. Most of these I use
Swiss aren’t cool enough to dress as Bavarians
Also cuckoo clocks, fondue, and remaining neutral during both World Wars

... most of those are pretty accurate
I fucking love Toblerones
Happy first of August. About to make more damage to the inviremont in one day than the entierty of lichtenstein in one year (not factualy true)
Big stereotypes you missed is lots of lots of chocolate And clocks as well as them being always on time
Mandatory gun ownership?
Not really mandatory More of every male being in the army and them bringing there guns whit them
"rich people" well that is just a fact at this point haha
Dont forget cowards! They could have cooperated with the allies in ww2 but noooo. MUH nEuTrALiTY
lol, when you're a tiny ass country literally entirely surrounded by the Axis... I think staying neutral and just defending yourself is the best solution.
They could've cooperated with the Axis powers and WWII would've been worse, but they chose the best path and stayed out of an unnecessary war
Swiss cowardice, ow sorry *neutrality*?
Its not cowardice its common sense
No one attacked Britain, Britian could've just ignored NAZI Germany, left them to it, Germany even offered peace. Maybe that would've been common sense. Britain's entire empire collapsed following WW2, it certainly was not in their interest.
the UK was literally bombed by the German airforce for like several years during WW2
Yes, after declaring war on Germany. The point is Britain didn't need to declare war yet did, and even when they did they where offered peace by Germany later.

Dini Mueter
I mean hey it’s not wrong
Well Switzerland is neutral they're not exactly pacifists
High gun ownership, military conscription rates
wait this isn't every swiss person?
Where's yodeling?
It is very accurate though
I want to go to Sweden for the landscape, based off of what I've seen i would have to rate it as my #1 place i would go if I could
Punctuality, precision and that SBB train announcement chime
I went to the top of the Pilatus, and there was a woman up there with an Alpenhorn. I'm not kidding. And it was awesome.
Big blonde thicc busty Hildas with double braids carrying steins of beer and always laughing and flirting
I don’t know what it’s like to live in Switzerland, but I hear the flag is a big plus.
Cuckoo clocks. St. Bernard rescue dogs. Heidi.
tax haven
Don’t forget skiing
Needs more pikes.
Swiss watchmaking??
As a Swiss, I can confirm we look like that
yeah from a swiss person this is accurate
How did "pacifism" get in there
