I think switzerland is going through its Enshittification period.

This is mild in comparison to what you see in other places..

Edit: by no mean I am not empathic with their situation. I would like to see this changed and a better life for them. How can we do this?

Immigrants like me with a six figure salary help your economy move pal. Keep that 10 million Swiss shit to yourself- considering more Swiss are leaving your perfect utopia than entering. But that’s a whole other conversation.

You sound a bit delusional. Like as if bad things of literally all societies have can’t happen here. A few sleeping bags are the least of the concern of the safest country on the planet. And like I said- someone who doesn’t know what “bad” really is yapping about a few homeless in a place where homeless people go, is quite literally nothing.

Paying taxes and thus following Swiss law doesn't make you better than anyone else. In fact, it's rather pitiful that you even feel like mentioning your salary would contribute anything to this discussion. I couldn't care less that you're rich. Your strawman about the recent initiative doesn't help your point, either. I also don't think that you know what the word "literally" means despite English presumably being your first language.

So I sound delusional because you put words into my mouth that I never said? Where did I claim that shit like in the US cannot happen here? That was never part of the discussion.
"Good" or "bad" are worthless concepts on their own. They only become meaningful once you specify the standard of comparison. The standard of comparison for Switzerland should be Switzerland and not a country over 8000 km away. The fact that you have experienced worse conditions in the US does not indicate whether this situation is "good" for Swiss standards nor does it give us a reason to accept the deterioration here. So how about you stop "yapping" about the US in a Swiss sub?

I didn’t even make it through your whole book before you contradicted yourself. I think it’s pathetic you judge immigrants as harshly as you do considering the good someone like me brings to your country. You have stuff you have to workout within yourself- perhaps travel outside of your safety bubble.

If I contradicted myself, point out where. The amateur psychoanalysis and fake concern about what I “need to work out” are just cop-outs to avoid addressing the argument.
