Well, it's not like the swiss didn't have their fare share of ethnic issues in th past. Keep in mind that Switzerland is linguistically diverse.

The difference is that because of direct democracy and every male being armed to the teeth, the government steps in and tries to reduce inequality. That way democracy works again. I mean, Jura used to have straight up ethnic riots.

Why should the only country in the world that has freedom of speech give that up to join a club of countries lead by unaccountable bureaucrats that no one has voted into power.

That's exactly what the EU is.

I suppose this will be downvoted, but please take the time and explain where I am factually wrong. Because I can give you many examples why there is no freedom of speech in the EU and why particularly the EU commission is unaccountable.

That's an understandable sentiment, but please don't make HN worse by responding to one bad comment with another one.
