It was not the Swiss government but a delegation of businessmen. Actually that makes it even worse.
To negotiate a trade deal with the President of the United States, the Swiss government arrived with a "special Rolex desktop clock" and "a 1-kilogram personalized gold bar"

It feels really strange to hold this book in my hands. I contributed by analysing the party organisation of the @svpch.bsky.social. I talked to over 50 members to learn more about the party, its structure, and the members' views. It is also available open access (online).

While I understand the intent to debate them, it nevertheless gives these extremists a platform and it really smells like fishing for clicks and views. To say "I did not know" sounds like a lame defense.

But also, I guess folks should know this is what we're up against and this is what the country contains now.
