As a Swiss citizen, I very much feel as part of Swiss people.
How do you feel about this? Do you feel as Swiss people? I’m especially wondering about citizens of other countries in this forum. Or maybe also Swiss citizens living abroad. Or maybe even Swiss citizens in Switzerland. I’m honestly curious.
There is not many Swiss people here, and there is the vibe of „lets make money, dont care about side effects to society like RE prices, welfare system, … and then leave again“. Personally, beeing Swiss as well. I do struggle a bit with the mindset of some contributors here.
It is interesting to note that the concept of social solidarity is often interpreted differently depending on one’s cultural background. Some people might see systems like the RAV as something that should be used regardless of whether or not there is actual financial need, for example by claiming benefits even when a person has substantial personal wealth. In my social circle, however, there is a perception that relying on such services can be a source of social pressure and may be seen as a personal shortcoming. It is my understanding that these social safety nets are designed to act as worst-case insurances. If everyone immediately claimed the services they paid for without genuine need, I am afraid the entire system would collapse.
Or something that is due to them as soon as they lose their job. Come on, they’ve paid for it!
In some (not so successful) countries, it’s even seen by some as very normal and natural, if you work long enough then you can benefit from long vacations every x months, that’s just how society works, and you pay for it while working. In their mindset.
I would imagine it was meant as “for Swiss residents, by Swiss residents”. Maybe @_MP can confirm?
I agree that it would not make sense to present this forum as “by Swiss citizens” given how many non-citizen contribute to and benefit from this forum.
