Wie ist es möglich, dass der Präsident mit einem öffentlichen Zug im Bahnhof herumläuft, keine (sichtbaren) Leibwächter anwesend sind und kein einziger Mensch auf ihn zukommt? Was ist in diesem Land anders?

Könnte Roger Federer durch Zürich laufen, ohne für Aufregung zu sorgen? Gorge Clooney? Taylor Swift?

    You don’t realize him in one second .

    He looks like a normal man who goes to work
    He looks like my old teacher, neighbor etc

  3. No, it’s only about our politicians. And this is the thing I love the most about my country. Should be like this everywhere in the world. 🌎

    I see 25 people each day that look like Parmelin lmao

    and also: most people couldn‘t name all 7 members of the Bundesrat. they don‘t care about politics. people just expect things to go somewhat smoothly and don‘t really care about individual politicians.

  5. IIRC the 2 people on his left are part of his team. But yeah, having the president of your country just behaving like a normal people doing their work is cool. The best of cool.

    Celebrities are people first. They don’t appear in public for everyone’s entertainment unless it’s a special occasion.

    I don’t have an answer to your question about CH, but I can tell you that this says more about people who DO go crazy about celebrities than those who don’t.

    Just leave people alone, it’s very simple.

  7. Because the executive is shared amongst seven people.

    Also, Swiss politics are delightfully boring. It’s functional and doesn’t run on hype or insults like US politics.

  8. Idk. I never understood the hype around „celebs“ and especially what certain people do when they encounter one.

    For me ,every person, regardless if they’re an actor, astronaut, f1 driver etc. Is just another ordinary person. Nothing special.

    Do I have respect for certains people work (people I dont know personally)? ofc I do! But that doesn’t mean i would feel or act any different like on any other person…

  9. I think it depends on the celebrity and their fanbase. There have been instances where famous people like ishowspeed have been followed but that is mostly because his fanbase is rather young but generally we respect peoples privacy more than other countries and that also applies for celebrities. Were just not that crazy about them.

  10. Bundesrat don’t make a show of it, they just do their job. There’s no „the president“ we have more like 7 „presidents“. Also, the president changes every year, so people probably don’t even know.

    Swiss people are rather reserved, so just approaching someone is just not something you would do unless you got a good reason.

    For politicians specificially, we just don’t fetishize them. Thats something that I always found so weird about other countries, exspecially the US: Those are officials elected to carry out the will of the people. They aren’t all that important. After a few years, they will step back and someone else will take their position and nobody (apart from a few politics nerds) will know their name a decade later.

    Because im proud of myself and i respect the other’s space …and my only idol is my son.

  13. There is not much culture of personality in politics. The least we hear of our politicians the better: it generally means they’re doing their job well. 

    And frankly we don’t want to hear about it.

  14. I’ve got better things to do than fuck with people’s lives for no reason

    In Switzerland most people have the mindset „Oh, I don’t want to bother them“.

    This results in some positive things, like celebrities not needing bodyguards.

    But it also creates an isolating atmosphere, which makes it very difficult to find new friends, if you didn‘ already have them in school…

  16. The President is just a normal person. And this is how it should be everywhere!

  17. manchmaldrauf on

    Which president is this supposed to be? I thought it was jeremy clarkson.

    There is the famous story that Oprah went into a shop in Zurich and wasn’t sold a purse because well the Swiss don’t care about celebrities (and racism)

  19. buerglermeister on

    Swiss people want to be left alone most of the time. And in return, we also leave strangers alone
