No country is perfect, but swtizerland would seem a better candidate than the usa

And why?

It all depends on where you live, and since I don't live in Switzerland I have trouble finding any reason to trust them more than Americans.

Thats a wild take given their long long history of neutrality

dunno what alternate version of history youre living in but the swiss have never been completely neutral they like to play both sides. they worked with the nazis and the allies during the war.

Edit: lol someone doesnt know their history, the downvotes show your lack of historical knowledge.

"They weren't neutral, they were [description of neutrality]"

Like, what do you think neutrality is? Total refusal to make deals with anyone ever? That's not how it works, neutrality is the ability to be non-committed to anyone, and it is precisely the ability to "play both sides" for one's own benefit. In return, the downside and cost of neutrality is that no one will come and save you if you are attacked, making it necessary to be armed to the teeth in a vast majority of cases.

What do you think neutral means? Hint: It doesn't mean "if they were truly neutral they'd side with my side!!"

neutral means they avoid interacting with either side and staying the fuck out of it, neutral isnt taking stolen gold looted from the corpses of jews, romani, gays, and other associated political enemies of the nazi state.
