You HAVE to fit in at all costs!

• The problem with the Swiss mentality - and I'm referring to the German-speaking part of my homecountry (!) only - is that you HAVE TO FIT IN at all costs. Sure, that's pretty arrogant and also pathological to a certain extent, because it's a silly power game that has no value in an increasingly networked global society.
  
  Everybody is their's neighbor's police officer. If you're somewhat different, you're not going to be welcome anywhere, because Swiss people can't deal with (cultural) differences. That's not a virtue, that's a problem, and Swiss people usually can't admit even to themselves that they're wrong or not as perfect as imagined.
  
  They're so proud of their country, because it's allegedly safer than other countries. But isn't fun more important than safety? I think it is. And it's funny to see Zurichians tricking themselves into believing that Zurich was an international metropolis, which it isn't. London, Stockholm, Berlin, New York City or Singapore are metropolises, but Zurich is just a very small city for socially retarded and self-opinionated peasants who don't know how to have a good time.
  
  How could they? They're being observed and corrected all the time. That just isn't healthy.
