I recently came across an analysis in the German media magazine Meedia that I think deserves more attention in Switzerland. According to their reporting, the most far-reaching right-wing populist account on X / twitter in the German-speaking space is apparently operated by someone from Switzerland. What surprised me most: the account reportedly generates more reach than other well-known right-conservative actors like Nius (a kind of German Fox News-style outlet) or even Alice Weidel from the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland). The content is pretty much what you would expect from that corner of the internet: Daily posts framing immigrants and asylum seekers as a threat Anti-Muslim narratives Hostility toward queer and LGBTQ+ people Anti-vaccination claims Strong anti-EU messaging Open support for AfD, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and similar figures I’m not posting this to amplify the account or send traffic its way. Quite the opposite. I’m sharing this because I haven’t seen the topic covered in Swiss media so far. Given the scale of its reach in the German-speaking world, I think it’s relevant to be aware that such a significant political influence operation (or at least highly influential account) is being run out of Switzerland. submitted by /u/itstrdt
