Berlin is where beauty, hope, and creativity go to overdose and die.
What exactly happened in Germany that forced them to make it a law that you have to write (w/m/x) on every job listing? And how is it illegal to not write that, but legal to say "Native German required"?
Why do Germans lie so much about Germany? When you mention any of the millions of things that suck about this place they ALWAYS say it's not true.
Germans only shower once or twice a week: VAT I HAS NEVA HEARD ZIS BEFOAH
You can go to prison for denying the holocaust, demeaning religion or insulting someone: ZIS SIMPLY CANNOT BE TWUE
It's impossible to go for a walk without seeing someone pissing in public: I HAF LIFED IN CHERMANY FOR SIRTY YEAS AND I HAF NEVA SEEN ZIS BEFOAH
99% of people are complete assholes: VE CHERMANS ARE JUST DIREKT, ANGO-AMERICANS ARE FAKE NICE
Bad jobs that pay very poorly irrespective of your skills: YOU JUST AREN'T TRYING HARD ENOUFF AND YOUR CHERMAN PROBABLY IS NOT GOOD
I could go on forever but I'm sure you all know what I mean. It's like all Germans got a memo that said they have to defend Germany at all costs or else they'll be blacklisted.
I’m so happy I never got pregnant by or married a German . Every day. And for those of you with kids in Germany, I don’t even know how you afford to live. This isn’t a superior society that takes care of you, there is a price everyone must pay for living here. And it’s a substandard quality of life, being surrounded with negativity and anger. I can’t Imagine having grown up here.
I grew up in the US and have very fond memories of my childhood. My teachers at school were for the most part very, very supportive. I am sure even the worst teachers I had were better than the best ones here. From what I have seen, bullying and nitpicking is done by the teachers here and not by students. I have heard so many completely messed up stories here that I don't even want to repeat. Sexual harassment/abuse seems to be very common in schools here as well. I don't even like to think about it.
Jesus, these pseudo altruist assholes who think they're saving the world by biking around the city in the middle of frigid February with one of those carts for their kids, even though deep down inside they know they're only living like this because they're poor.
Almost everyday after waking up I thank the heavens for the fact that I no longer live in Germany. You guys think Berlin is bad. It is any place where Germans are a minority.
It is no wonder that nobody really likes Germans, unless they happen to live far from them. Notice how the only Europeans that like Germans are those who don't share any borders with them. Ukrainians, Romanians and Spaniards, for instance.
No one believes me when I tell them how much smog there is in Berlin. Yes there is also a shitload of gray clouds, but there is smog in there too, like coal-burning smog. The air always tastes bad to me. But the denial is almost worse.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that other people in the world live in places where blue sky is not a memory
Even the decor is from 70s. Entire city is a time capsule. Fashion from 90s. Racist costumes from 1950s,
Why do these people love yelling so much? Even in public! God forbid!!!
Germans may have their issues with passive aggressiveness and micro management. Well at least they don't hang regime opponents in public, have anti gay or anti blasphemy legislations or torture lgbtq* in prison ... Y'all coming from overseas better think twice about the ridiculous societies we do come from ...
I guess every culture has the same level of aggression just shows it in a different way. I do prefer the staring German in the supermarket to staring military police ... Just my 2 cents.
It’s unfair to put like that.
We all related to THIS universe/reality.
Sure, you are right to say so, there are broken up societies, but this is also a micro-aggresion, gaslighting.
I would think most of the people here also practice gratitude, or I would hope so.
Anyway, my point is: The fact somewhere, somehow there are worst things it still doesn’t make it less valid that Berlin is hard to digest in its own way.
"at least they don't have anti blasphemy legislations"
LMAO

Get rekt Stefan. If you have to build up a false dichotomy to make Germany sound bearable then your argument is trash. You should probably consider putting yourself out of your misery already.
"I'd rather get stared at by strangers than military police" Yeah you think that's a reasonable argument, until you realize germans will pull out that attitude for ANY criticism or suggestions to improve. They just want to point fingers at something worse so they don't have to think that maybe they aren't the best. They cannot handle it if confronted with the fact that maybe some people from somewhere else have ideas on what to do better. The german mentality is to deny, ignore, or misdirect by talking about how bad something non-german supposedly is. Have a look at the history, make some connections...
At the grocery which is mobbed with germans who freaking randomly stop in the middle of foot traffic like they are the only fuckers in the world. And this chucklefuck who works there is totally blocking the aisle with his back to me, he steps in my way and I accidentally hit his foot with my cart, I say sorry in English and he calls after me "Owah, Owah, OWAH, OWAH!" as I walk away, like a passive-aggressive literal manchild. What the fornicate is wrong with these people?? I look at berliner manboys and I feel like motherfucker, you would not last 2 seconds where I come from and I am a girl half your size.
Even the nicest Germans I met, the moment I got hope again, revealed some nasty, rotten character traits. It’s as they have an extra evil bone in the body that possesses them.
And no, it’s not “people being people”.
Until this place, I met asshats, nice ones, douchey ones etc. but nothing like it here.
They are pure misery to deal with
Even if you are wealthy, Berlin still sucks...
Is it “art” if your mom pays your rent at 25+? Asking for a friend

Yeah, they do.
Lol germans think that Americans complain about germans in America. Sorry they don’t even think about them. They only come to Germany due to the governments propaganda selling Germany. Why they complain once in Germany is because they receive a rude awakening Of the reality of the place. Americans don’t complain about foreigners in America unless they are rednecks. German culture is basically red neck culture
I think it's total poop that the government uses that excuse of, oh we can only speak german because legally binding blah blah..." Ever heard of a waiver? Or official translations? Other countries do just fine with them. Besides berlin lawyers are lazy as fuck, nobodies suing nobody. Especially immigrants, none of us are going to sue you, we're too busy trying to get anmeldung for fuck's sake
Fook you Maurice Frank of Berliner Zeitung! You are 100%, certified, grade a fooking German penis sucker. Only a goofball like you would try to dismiss and downplay to actions of the these uneducated racist cunts. Hey everyone, Maurice is basically saying you all should shut up and and except the mental abuse of Germans. And of course the Berliner Zeitung approved of this article before being published. Like seriously? This article is a goddam joke! Jesus, fook this country and Germans.
