Are we classists?

  1. Also note how Belgium just speaks “French”, “Dutch”, and “German”, while Switzerland speaks “Swiss German”, “Swiss French” etc. Belgium really has a marketing problem

  2. Bosnia is just south eastern switzerland. It even has Cantons!

  3. Duh? The words classist and European are basically synonyms

  4. The difference is that Switzerland *works* while Belgium *doesn’t*

  5. While the Swiss are autofellators, the Belgians hate themselves. Thus everyone hates Belgians. If Belgians would suck their own dicks like the Swiss do, all the superficial Euros would fellate them too.

  6. You are right Hans, neither of those countries should exist, so do your thing.

  7. On a fair note, Switzerland literally willed itself into existence against all odds (and the Austrians as far as I remember Wilhelm Tell correct) while Belgium was artificially created to have a smaller border between France and Germany

  8. I mean, don’t Belgians themselves refuse to even socialize with people from the respective other language groups? Or so I’ve heard, anyway. You guys despise each other, and no one seems to participate in the advantages you could gain off each other.

    And that makes you a laughing stock, at best. As a country, culture, anything, really.

  9. Switzerland inspires a lot of things. Astonishment is not one of them.

  10. The Swiss loves Europe and the EU too!

    As soon as you decide to install a proper democracy and get your finances in order, we will allow you to join the federation!

  11. the unaesthetic nature of belgium is visible even in it’s internal border

  12. Belgians should learn from and become a second Switzerland.

  13. Don’t try to shame me for thinking Belgium is miserable and dirty.

  14. If you put a snobby elite from Zurich, a Parisian aristocrat and a londonian snobby lord in a room, you only reach cumulatively 0.0001% of the arrogance and disdain of the average flemish.

    least arrogant flemish thinks that a wallonian should kiss and worship the ground they walk on

  15. I despise Switzerland as well, mainly because their German sounds like cancer. I suppose the same is true for their French and Italian, but I need a Pierre and Luigi to confirm

  16. I’ll explain it to you, as a Belgian. The difference between these two countries is the following:

    Switzerland divided their competencies over different government levels on the basis of the concept of subsidiarity, which states that the government level best suited for a certain competency should also be responsible for it. For example, since different languages are spoken in different regions, these regions should be responsible for competencies relating to languages, such as culture and education.

    In Belgium, this division was decided after 36 hours of non-stop negotiating, huge sleep deprivation, and hallucinations, and with the total loss of logic by people who don’t think logically to begin with and with a total disregard for the subsidiarity principle because they have no knowledge of that to begin with. This was all under pressure from nationalists who base themselves on dogmas that everything should go to the regions because “what we do ourselves is always better” (it’s not). And you get Belgium, the most successful failed state, where every government level can screw over the other out of spite. 😊

  17. I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND I HATE SWITZERLAND

  18. What are you talking about?

    The official stance of this sub is that Khadaffi was right on the Swiss question.

    The only difference is that we actually have the Swiss against is on this simple fact, while the “Belgians” know in their hearts that they are Dutch/French/German. As such “Belgians” are just annoying when they pretend that they are not Dutch/French/German. The Swiss are delusional; sure, but they are already based delusionals.

  19. Tbf to the Swiss, their decentralisation is core to their identity, Belgian decentralisation is more so done to accommodate the different nationalist and regionalist sentiments

  20. Not really. The Belgians know they have problematic, while the Swiss perpetually suck their own dicks, so it seems like they are better, but they are even worse because they aren’t in the EU. Just takes most people a little while to look past the pretty mountains and the constant self-praise.

  21. Yeah because most cantons joined Switzerland willingly

    Belgium isn’t the same story at all

  22. That’s because Switzerland has always been neutral and you can’t hate Switzerland. A stupid broken roadinfrastructure can cause a lot of people to turn against you.

  23. Wait till you learn how many languages are spoken in India, Indonesia and South Africa

  24. I’m tired of these fake countries 😠 Germany, France and Italy should split Switzerland, just like the Netherlands and France should split Belgium 😠 We need bigger REAL european countries, not these small insignificant nations that nobody even knows exist outside of Europe 😠

  25. Other people with divided foreign languages and a decentral administration:
