Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’m very proud to be Italian, and proud and love my countrymen. If I were a Swiss, though, I would not leave my rifle, or any valuable, around in a Swiss train station if Italians are around. Or English, French, Germans, etc. I wouldn’t be afraid if there were a group of Japanese though. We’re just not as civilized.

What's interesting about Japan is that it's a mono-cultural society with high IQ and this country has not surprisingly the lowest crime rate in the world. Italy and Switzerland were like that a few decades ago. BTW, what do you think of Salvini? Switzerland chose not to be in the European Union and it was our best decision ever IMO. It's like a startup: it's better to be lean and agile.

I left Italy before Salvini was a thing.
