The only good thing that can be said about Berlin, and I do mean the ONLY good thing, is that it is no longer an active war zone.
I'm not so sure. I am pretty sure that modern warfare looks a lot like Berlin. If Berlin isn't a Clower and Piven strategy by the west to undermine "democratic socialism" then the only other conclusion I can draw is that "democratic socialism" is a huge failure.
If any other city made 24 h parties and had a bunch of venues berlin would be over. the only reason why people move to berlin for music is because everywhere else is over gentrified/expensive and now berlin has gotten that way too. i hope another city does this soon, im pretty sure berlin is dead anyway
Im not sure what people do when they get older. maybe they just sit around on harz v .... Berlin has an older clubbing age in general tho....people seem to be arrested development at 20...... its sstrange how they never get sick of doing the same thing over and over again....but doing the same things over and over is so berlin.
I have a friend who works an adult job in another country and spends half the year in berlin, this is what im currently doing, spending 4 summer months in berlin and the rest of the year elsewhere. as long as my life isnt on paper "German" to me it is fine. I also am not relying on them for money nor paying their taxes. rest of year sucks anyway, only good months are summer.
I am non EU person who has been living in this country for like 6 years. I initially came as master student and started to work (extremely underpaid vs the job I do and my qualifications) in global company in English which could be seen as only positive side for me. I was also granted permanent residence permit last year (because there is special condition for people who finished university here) but I found out that If I would move to another country, I would lose my permanent resident permit after 6 months of absence in Germany which I simply don't care. I don't want to live in this country anymore. I want to go to the top of roofs and scream that I don't want to live here anymore. I want to build my adult life elsewhere. I am about to be 30 in a year.
Convincing your family / parents to believe that Germany is not a good country to live is struggle. They are under effect of German propaganda. I don't want to ruin my relationship with my family but on the other hand whenever they tell me ''Germany is nice country to live'' It makes me want to vomit. It is unbelievable that this country managed to build that strong reputation abroad and people do believe these things.... Strongest economy in EU, best country to live in EU etc
I have been working on my exit plan but It upsets me when my parents show resistance against my idea of moving out of Germany. They think I am stupid to think of leaving this country. I don't want to show my rotten soul caused by Germany to them because I do care about them and don't want to upset them...
I just needed to rant, thank you
Thanks everyone for supportive messages OP here.
I know 30 is not old - can be also still considered young- but I mean, I don't want to keep wasting my life here. That's the whole point. When I think, I would end up living here by max 32, It gives me goosebumps so much.
I moved to berlin right after I turned 31 and left just after I turned 33. However, I am glad I didnt move to berlin any younger. I would have gotten lost. I see what it has done to people who have lived there a decade or more, that are my age. They did not develop in the same way as me. They dont understand the concept of "my life went backwards and I feel like a teenager", because they never left that phase. and they probably never will.
sorry to continue my above post... the first time I visited berlin I was 30. So it was kind of a now or never type thing, where I felt I wanted to go to berlin for a few years. I dont regret it and I miss my friends there, I had a lot of hard times in that city and it almost ruined me. If I didnt have the option of my employment I would have become sstuck there. and i think this is what happens to a lot of people. there is no money there, so they become stuck apathetic and then the place breaks them. Just look for a better job opporunity, and get out. I suspect the lockdown will not end until spring.
This made my day, a bunch of AnftiFa thug-kunts get a taste of their own medicine, this is what is needed in Berlin as well. There's nothing I like to hear more than the cracking of an AntiFa's head. Time to fight back against these neo-Nazis. www.breitbart.com/law-and-order/2020/12/05/watch-antifa-attacks-then-runs-away-after-patriot-group-fights-back/
Where I come from, working for exposure is a joke. Not so in Berlin. It’s basically expected at first
The USA rn is suffering big time. This is a tragedy. People are dying. But these jerk germans STILL use this as a way to feel superior. They will never change. They have no empathy. FuckK germans and FUCKK GERMANY.
The "civil war" Germans have been prophesizing is a honeymoon compared to the division within the EU. Who needs a race war in Europe when Germans hate every other nation and manage to financially ruin them for decades (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and basically everywhere east of Germany). When the UK escapes the EU by the skin of its teeth the EU is sure to fail. The only thing that isn't clear is whether it will take 5 years or 10.
Oh, and the "poor" people in the US waiting in line at foodbanks are waiting in their cars. In Germany they're standing outside in the cold. And if they want to harp on racism, maybe they should revisit Die Arche's decision last year to ban all refugees from getting food.
I've never met a German who actually had even a weak grasp of anything they were talking about when they compare themselves to the US. It's all just vague things they've picked up. We should let them all drink themselves into an early grave.
yeah germans havent LIVED in the USA, when they say how much better it is.....they should listen to people that come from SO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT LIFE IN GERMANY (even french and other eu nations!) to get a hint.....the problem is them....
I meant to say, when germans say its so much better than USA, they have never lived in usa, they are just going based on some outdated stereotype of an american, which is so german of them. americans are all immigrants, you cant say there is only one type. unlike germans, a monoculture. shows how educated they are.
when the people in the apartment above have sex every. Single. Day. And you have decided to stop being a slut.
Some Germans try so hard to be American, went to an international school and just generally seem ok - until they spazzing out at you out of nowhere or have no emotional bonding with friends
The weirdest is when they live in Berlin for a decade, make friends only with foreigners (who end up leaving), and then have like 2 other German friends. Like wtf? Even your own culture and a place you have been for ten years, you don’t have friends in? This is such a red flag but then they try to make it seem like it’s YOU .... lol ok
People think that you go to Berlin to become successful. And while that may be true for a certain amount of people, its generally a stepping stone for them. To be truly successful, you must leave Berlin. Berlin is for losers.
The far-left, self righteous hypocrites are the worst thing about Berlin, and that includes Feminazis.
It’s a shame that there has to be a site like this because we can’t talk openly about how much we hate Berlin. Are friends get angry, we for some reason can’t talk openly about how racist and xenophobic germany is, the internet largely censors that anyway, Germany is praised everywhere by propaganda and everyone is deluded into thinking its amazing. It’s trash, for real.
I never attended an orgy in Berlin. And the reason why is because everyone looks disgusting. Maybe I’m shallow but I don’t want to fornicate people that live in Berlin, they either smell terrible Or have such garish/tacky taste I don’t find them visually appealing. It’s also a paradise for people who aren’t typically attractive . Sorry but y’all creep me out
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.
