Northern Europe(and my country) are so incredibly humane, that you are better off not touching robbers and just letting it happen. Even if someone breaks into your house, its just better to leave or go back to sleep than trying to confront the robber, even if your life was at threat(unless you have fucktons of evidence to back it). Somehow these countries are so horribly frightened of even a slightest form of vigilantism, that citizens arent really allowed to even touch a lawbreaker, let alone stop them.

Why are you stupid enough to go to war with the Parthians? They're gonna wreck you!
The Roman–Parthian Wars (66 BC – 217 AD) were a series of conflicts between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. It was the first series of conflicts in what would be 719 years of Roman–Persian Wars.
Early incursions by the Roman Republic against Parthia were repulsed, notably at the Battle of Carrhae (53 BC). During the Roman Liberators' civil war of the 1st Century BC, the Parthians actively supported Brutus and Cassius, invading Syria, and gaining territories in the Levant. However, the conclusion of the second Roman civil war brought a revival of Roman strength in Western Asia.
In 113 AD, the Roman Emperor Trajan made eastern conquests and the defeat of Parthia a strategic priority, and successfully overran the Parthian capital, Ctesiphon, installing Parthamaspates of Parthia as a client ruler. Hadrian, Trajan's successor, reversed his predecessor's policy, intending to re-establish the Euphrates as the limit of Roman control. However, in the 2nd century, war over Armenia broke out again in 161, when Vologases IV defeated the Romans there. A Roman counter-attack under Statius Priscus defeated the Parthians in Armenia and installed a favored candidate on the Armenian throne, and an invasion of Mesopotamia culminated in the sack of Ctesiphon in 165.
In 195, another Roman invasion of Mesopotamia began under the Emperor Septimius Severus, who occupied Seleucia and Babylon, and then sacked Ctesiphon yet again in 197. Parthia ultimately fell not to the Romans, but to the Sassanids under Ardashir I, who entered Ctesiphon in 226. Under Ardashir and his successors, Persian-Roman conflict continued between the Sassanid Empire and Rome.
No need to be so defensive.
I only intended to clarify that these incidents which were used before to discredit German integration of Kurds and Turks are not daily business in Germany either. That's why I picked your post up. Wasn't aimed at you personally.
Well, those are isolated cases in Germany too. Except your calling 3 to 5 times a year 20vs20 a massive problem in society
I've read about marriage parties having bigger fights.

But a major difference between Switzerland and Germany is that our foreigners are well integrated, even tho we have lots of serbs,bosniak, kosovar, I never saw any of them insult another. Something like the clash between kurds and turks inside germany is not even thinkable here.
For fuck's sake, every time someone replies to this post I watch a few more minutes of it, and it gets worse every time. This time I watched around the 30 minutes mark and the Swede was making literal "omg u chocolate chip cookie u would have said that about the jews" comparisons. Christ.
