The Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric, is projected to win 29 percent of the vote, up from 25.6 percent four years ago and higher than pre-election polls. It has been the country’s largest party since 2003.

      LMAO you really spinned this as being “good” for homosexuals? You are talking about the party that literally was the main opponent against legalizing gay marriage in Switzerland with disgusting add campaigns.

      They are also totally xenophobic and populist like you acuse them of the people that they are trying to prevent from entering the country.

      Switzerland 100% relies on immigration, so much so that during Covid they couldn’t close their borders at all otherwise hospitals would have no workers. But they only (mostly) complain about the “bad immigrants” which you can very easily distinguish based on the skin tone like that family guy meme.

      As an immigrant living here this was disgusting.

      Islam is only 5% of the population’s religious demographic. Considering around 20% of the country’s population is immigrant families, that means the majority of immigrants aren’t even Muslim. So this party is entirely about fearmongering.

      Thanks for completely ignoring the fact that 4x more Palestinians have died, that civilians are the ones losing out, and more Jews than ever are murdering and displacing whole communities in the West Bank due to their god telling them it belongs to them. Oh, and this is with the support of Israel and the IDF.

          How was the comment he replied to painting all Muslims as bent on destroying society any better? Is it better because it’s against an entire religion of people?

            The comment that was removed was abusive to another user, not simply expressing an unpopular opinion.

                Or advocating violence or genocide. People are allowed to be wrong, downvote them, block them, call them out on their bullshit, all that is fine, just don’t be vicious about it.

                In this case, as unpopular as the OG post was, nobody reported it either. The personal attack WAS reported and dealt with.

                People are free to express opinions on the topic at hand, that’s what the up and down votes are for.

                Heaping abuse on other users is not allowed. Attempting to abuse a mod results in a ban.

                  That’s weird, is the topic at hand “all Muslims are antisemites,” or did a user add that as a topic?

                    The OG comment, while offensive, doesn’t rise to the level of removable. The downvotes are doing their job.

                    The comments removed were personal attacks on another user which is 100% not allowed. Further, the banned user at the same time was making multiple attacks in other communities. Nothing of value was lost here.

                    You have a right here to not be attacked, you don’t have a right to not be offended. :)

                If someone is dumb enough to tell a mod “fuck you, you have no power here”, well, it’s never going to get any better after that. Nothing else to do.

      Oh jesus you’re literally just copy pasting your islamophobic disinformation. Can nazis be any more flangrantly obvious?

      “Now I’m a leftist, but [insert bigoted far right opinion]” is SO overdone. And to copy and paste it everywhere? God its pathetic.
