German guys between 20-50 are so weird about Mett. They're strangely proud of eating raw pork in a way I never really understood until now. It's not about the raw pork, it's that they trust and worship the German government so much that they'll eat a known vector of illness just to signal their support. They'll suppress their natural disgust reaction if the government tells them it's ok to do so. And this despite the fact that an estimated 80% of Germans have brain parasites from eating raw pork. And then they'll up the stakes by selling it in open case bakeries where flies and wasps walk all over the Mett (and cross contaminate everything else). Actually, when you really drill down nearly every German peculiarity can be traced back to excessive government worship.
What amazes me is, they have no concern about the poor pigs, they even make macabre fun of the, by placing the raw pig in a mould, the shape of a pig, them dump i on a platter. I couldn't believe it when I first realised it was a minced up corpse. Yes, and what's with the bees pooping and pissing all over the cakes in bakeries.
Pigs are smart and pretty likable and have unique personalities in a way that probably makes Germans feel insecure. Essentially, they are competing with pigs and while, yes, they do win and conquer and eat the poor pigs many of us actually find the pigs more likable and kind of secretly root for them.
I just with I could find bacon from pigs that were treated well, but that's almost impossible here.
Whenever I see random videos of people complaining about Netherlands the comments are full of people agreeing. When it's the same complaints about Germany it's full of Germans claiming it's not true. Why does the Internet hate NL but love DE? Cultures are virtually indistinguishable from one another. This is probably the one thing that makes me really believe the BND has a huge bot army that is engaged with really stupid information warfare.
The country that invented Zersetzung and more importantly had 20% of its population as voluntary, active informants just stopped its entire domestic spying and propaganda programmes when the wall fell down. truly amazing country when you think about it.
Sundays are for nice state mandated relaxation and complaining that shops aren't open is clearly an addiction to late stage capitalism. Retail workers need Sunday to be with their families. It's OK for restaurants and bars to be open Sunday because buying food and alcohol isn't commerce. Also it's good that the underground runs 24/7 in Berlin, even at 4am on a Tuesday when most trains are max 5% full, because it means you don't need a car in berlin. Train drivers also don't need Sunday off (or the middle of the night). Also it's OK that train station stores are open Sunday because those people working there can't have families. In short, it's good the government has made the decision that you are not allowed to shop on Sundays because otherwise everyone would shop on Sundays.
Trying to find reason in this and many aspects of life in Germany is a dead end. Leads only to frustration. Or worse: If it begins to make sense, it means the culture has infected you with its senility.
Best to just keep your distance, like going on a safari and keeping some distance from the animals. Sure, you could get closer if you really wanted to but you will only get bitten or mauled. You accept those limitations when you enter the savanna, and it's best to just view dumb shittt that makes no sense here in the same way, even if it's annoying. And it's always annoying.
It really can't be overstated how insane a ~20% VAT is. For basically every product I buy, the state is pocketing 1/5th on top all my income tax and other mandatory contributions. And then Can der Leyen makes a PR video to talk about how bad tariffs are for everyone because they're a tax. What a joke this place is.
Why are Germans so evil and retarted . Like sorry you’re not smart .
I think basically every German has severe childhood trauma. I have heard some crazy stories, like being nearly raped on class trips and no discipline happening whatsoever too many times to think it's uncommon. And the general day to day here. This is actually the only country where I shudder when an old woman approaches me because unlike other countries where they're usually pleasant, in Germany you 100% know some annoying BS is about to happen.
The weather has improved some so I spent a lot of time out with my kid this weekend, which is nice because every winter here I secretly fear that somehow it'll last forever. But my God, Germans and staring. We were sitting on a bench eating sandwiches and every single German who walked by just stared and stared. Not a normal quick glance, but full on staring daggers the entire time it took them to pass us (over a minute) with that typical four German expression. These people are so socially awkward it drives me nuts. The only thing that gets them to stop is to stare straight back and cross your arms performatively. Living here feels like a Dostoyevsky novel sometimes.
I often want to just hiss at them like an animal. I'm not sure how they'd react, but I think maybe it would actually be ok and possibly effective? I have already incorporated a softer kind of half hiss for when they step off the ubahn train/escalator/elevator/whatever and then have their moment of German panic and just stop while the doors are closing on the people stuck behind them. It seems to work, although I can't tell whether they are offended that someone hissed that them or whether they just think it is normal to hiss at people. I personally don't think it's normal to hiss at others in most occasions, but here it feels appropriate somehow.
The real huge German contradiction is that they are excessively orderly in a way that is far beyond anal retentiveness, and yet they have no feeling of disgust (normally a hallmark of conservatism). In fact, Germans actually seem to consider it a good thing when things most other nationalities would consider disgusting are incorporated into daily life. It's everywhere when you know to look: the poop shelf toilets where you must see, smell and clean your defecation every day; eating raw pork; bakeries where wasps and flies walk all over the goods; excessive public nudity and obsession with public sex; lack of privacy, for example in hospital rooms I have never seen a privacy curtain between beds and my roommate just shitted into a bedpan with no shame, but it goes further - another time I was in the hospital I witnessed my roommate die while his family said their last goodbyes, truly traumatic. For these reasons I don't consider Germany to be a civilised society in the way the rest of the Western World is. They're an oddly pragmatic culture with too much emphasis on cost efficiency to understand the natural disgust response exists for a reason. By suppressing it (assuming Germans are even born with it at all) they can keep up this race to the bottom of societal collapse where crossing through vomit to get to work or seeing some guy pissing on the side of the road is the most normal thing ever. Can't help but conclude there is a serious flaw in the German brain.
Another example is that German newspapers will sometimes print portraits of dead people that the police need help identifying. This seems extremely weird to me when there's a great alternative that has existed for decades: police artists drawing the person. Or now AI. But to publish picture of guys with rigor mortis and blackened eyes is just bizarre.
What's the point in n the ALG1 free Weiterbildung Fund? I know several people from studying here who have done them. We all graduated together with a Masters. How is it possible that 13 years school + 5 years university isn't enough education to find a job? After all that time, is a 6 or 9 month course really going to make a difference? If you can't find a job with 18 years of formal education, maybe more education isn't going to solve the problem.
Wouldn't it make more sense for state run schools to be mandated to teach in demand skills so taxpayers don't need to fund private schools via the Weiterbildung Fund to do so? It really doesn't make any sense to me. I have had about 5 jobs here after getting my master's and in each one all my colleagues also had masters degrees but the jobs were also so basic I could have done them straight out of highschool. Hardest part was having to influence upward and you don't learn that in college anyway.
An econ professor at a German university is not influencing anything. That's the definition of a complete loser who in any society not as coddled as Germany would be doing the care work of wiping old people's assses or something in a nursing home. Those kinds of jobs are basically care home pity jobs for losers like that.
Germans are extremely naive. They're probably the only nationality that thinks it can fix its integration problem by forcing people to pass a Leben in Deutschland Test. Pretty sure the stabby and rammy Muslims aren't doing because they think it's legal. But this kind of belief that lack of knowledge is the root of rule breaking is really silly. Behind my apartment building there are (of course) bins for trash and occasionally people will put sofas or mattresses next to the bins because the alternative is a huge pain in the butt in Berlin. After this happens my Hausverwaltung will laminate a sign and tape it to the bins that says "Sperrmüll abladen verboten!" as if they believe this will fix the problem. Similarly near my flat there's a secluded back road that runs next to the gardens of some other flats. There used to be a low wooden fence there, but it was broken about 6 times over a 4 month period by people parking there. Whoever owns the buildings seemingly kept repairing the broken boards and eventually hung up a sign that said "parken verboten". Ultimately they had to replace the wooden boards with a metal fence though, but incredible how long they deluded themselves into believing the perpetrators just didn't know the rules. I don't think any other nation is this insane.
To pass Leben in Deutschland you only need to answer 52% of the questions correctly and because it's multiple choice you already have 25% chance for each question if you just pick randomly.
Plus difficult to get an appointment to make the appointment to wait months to take the stupid test, which is written and graded by hand so you have to wait several more months after that to get the results.
The country is a pathetic joke. Stagnant and paralyzed by incompetence, senility, bureaucracy and backwardness. I don't know how it even exists at this point, and honestly maybe it's just better for them to pass it over to millions of Muslim migrants. Maybe they'll make something of it.
Yeah I don't think the purpose of the Leben in Deutschland Test is to prove you understand societal rules. I think, much like requiring notarized translations of birth certificates (which would have already been required to get an initial blue card or visa), it's just a silly bureaucratic hurdle. I guess managing to get a spot for the Einbürgerungstest (being wait listed for 6 months even after calling and faxing 50 VHS schools) is the actual proof you understand Germany. It's all so grating here, every single thing.
Happy International Women’s Day!
May a German Man’s ‘love’ never find YOU.
( Applicable to: the girls, the queers and the gays)
It's a commie holiday invented by Lenin to celebrate *working* women and has been bastardised into a consolation prize day for childless hags. The "international" modifier was added to make a ridiculous commie holiday seem more significant when no consensus could be met on when to celebrate women (there are currently 5 competing such holidays and within the past 150 years IWD has been celebrated on about 10 different dates). Mother's Day would have sufficed, but the first draft of the communist manifesto included the insanely megalomaniacal prophecy that communism would supplant family as a grounding structure in society, so we all know what the real agenda was here. Finally: There has never once been a female visitor on this website.
I bet the pusssy train never stops for that second commenter. You must be drowning in it, guy! Come up for some air! Your diccck will can't be dripping wet like that 24/7 or it might cause some kind of dermatological consequences. I know with that winning personality and charm you must be like catnip to the ladies, but take a break and leave some women for the rest of us, buddy!
Ooof.
Germans love shittting on Valentine's Day as a fake holiday and fair enough, but at least it wasn't invented solely to persuade women into believing working a menial job in manufacturing is a better choice than raising their own children. Literally the gayest holiday. And yeah in the past 6 years since this was made a bank holiday in Berlin I've seen countless progressive guys wish women a happy IWD and it's big cringe 100% of the time. Pretty sure the West didn't actually win the Cold war.
The downvotes prove exactly the incel mentality. You want a woman to do the 50/50 on the bill, but... also cook, clean, raise children, stay fit and sexy in lingerie for you... while she worries about next batch of diapers and tuition fees. Be realistic, boys and don't wonder why women chose to have their own jobs, mind their own lives and save themselves the headache... You complain about feminists, but when you go out you cannot even cover dinner. Getrennt soy boys.
Pretty sure that unlike you guys I am actually married and have 2 children. I gave my wife flowers for women's day and gave her a nice box of chocolates for Valentine's Day. I wholeheartedly disagree with the entire founding ethos of international women's day, but I love my wife and like to show her appreciation because I am thankful she does more care work than I do around the house as we otherwise wouldn't be able to maintain the lifestyle we have. I pay about 80% of the bills to compensate for that. I still feel a little icky celebrating a holiday founded by an ideology that tells my wife she would be more fulfilled by working in a factory (or whatever the modern day commie equivalent would be - probably working at some weird NGO think-tank writing white papers on new genders). In general, I think every communist tradition should really be rejected but most people don't live principled lives (myself included). Learned helplessness is a hell of a mind control tactic straight from the Stasi Zersetzung playbook. Pretty sure you guys will understand one day.
You're an exception.
Most that want women to be docile housewives have a 'property' mindset... and you know it! And entitlement. Women can work, and have a choice! That's worth celebrating...(it is forecasted that by 2030 almost 50% of female population will be single. Why? Women without men are happier, make more money and simply have more fulfilling lives... than with men that require free labour from them, treating them as 2nd class citizens in their own existence. Compromising their souls, minds and bodies...
You want women to stop being independent and work? Be reliable men that respect women!
Things will eventually balance out in harmony...
It's not rocket since. Really.
Until then, let's just celebrate the fact that women have rights, freedom and choice!
It's not a bad thing...
I do think it is a good thing to have more options and to not be as a matter of necessity involuntarily reliant on a man that can mistreat you, but I don't really think women voluntarily went to work in Soviet Russia and most certainly didn't in the FDR where unemployment wasn't permitted (or even economically feasible, though that's also become a real problem since the late 70s). I think I generally agree with where you're coming from, though.
More than 80% of women nowadays experience crippling postpartum depression…
Either you don’t know women at all or you know women who fake it until they make it…
Or women like muslimahs? Who are indoctrinated since birth to be baby ovens?
I don’t know, but it’s sus to say what you just did…
Berliners have a lot of weird pride in Berlin. They think it's a real world class city like New York or London or Paris. Fact is that Berlin sucks. For all the problems in New York or Paris or London, they all feel like cities where something is actually happening. You can feel the energy pumping through the streets. In Berlin you feel like no one actually has a job. How can you be proud of this place?
Even absolute shut ins that have a personality or anxiety disorder pretend Berlin is somehow a fun place to be. For retards that go clubbing and eat drugs I could at least understand worshipping Berlin, but for people the city has maimed so gravely that they can't even ask for an extra napkin in a restaurant? Makes no sense. And there are many people here like that. Berlin's so shitty, it lures you in and then because it's so crappy it starts to make you feel like you can't survive among normal people.
As much as we hate Berlin, it is a necessity. Not everyone is super talented or hard working. It was extremely difficult to become an established artist, or writer or a chef in Paris. The competition is tough and few make it. But thanks to the talented risk takers that city has so many extraordinary things.
Berlin is for those who don't have such qualities. It's for people who just want to get by with minimum effort. And that is totally fine but that is also the reason pretty much everything in Berlin is of such low quality.
It's alright if people who didn't fit in anywhere else have a place where they finally feel at home. The problem is the attitude of a lot of those people. Carrying huge chip on their shoulders. A lot of super nasty and angry know it alls. Just get over that no one thinks you are special.
That's why even Madrid is much better city than Berlin. Even though it has such a rich history in culture, one of the best metro systems in the western world, a lot of great events etc. The people are for the most part quite humble and friendly. They know that they wont paint like Velázquez, they move on, enjoy their life and don't want to ruin it for everyone else.
This site saved my sanity. I made everything clear, especially about German history @WhatTheFaark. on twitter
another kebab terror attack this time in mannheim
Yep, all wrong, it was a fake attack that didn't even happen, except on the news.

It must be chaos in your brain, desperately latching onto any dumb conspiracy theory served up like shittt slop from the trash media you consume in a desperate attempt understand the world. Like how do you even manage to wipe your own asss? Seems above your intellectual abilities. Or do you just not wipe it?
Usually Arabs run over people. Almost all the time.
This time it evidently was some idiot right winger like you.
We can process this information. It's not that hard: crazy fascist Arabs are garbage and crazy white wing white porkbreath fascists are garbage too. See a common denominator, retard? For you it's probably vaccines or something.
What a common sight, extreme right wingers seeing that another group of extreme right wingers are the biggest enemy. AFD etc. are ideologically very close to jihdaists, the only difference is the religion hence the deep resentment. That's why people with functioning brain don't vote for AFD to solve the immigration crisis as they are basically the same as the islamist immigrants when it comes to their low level of brain capacity.
I don't really think the average "Arab colonizer" or AfD voter is a fascist because a hallmark of fascism is opposition to socialism, which both groups overwhelmingly support by their inability to support themselves financially, probably one of the main reasons they're each becoming more polarized. If the German parliamentary system wasn't mentally retarded they would just do CDU+AFD coalition now and push through the necessary reforms (deportations, rollback of German naturalization laws, curbing of welfare abuse, enhanced infrastructure stimulus, military expansion) and then in a few years they could be replaced with 4 other parties for a more centrist Germany, as the AFD loses popularity because they can amplify every Nazi tie or gaffe or financial link to Russia for 4 years. Instead CDU will do maybe half of what needs to be done now but miss every single immigration related topic because everyone left of CDU will Block it, more people will vote AfD in 2028 and we'll probably see some real nasty stuff. Priority number 1 right now for Germany should be kicking out all the fake refugees and criminals.failure to do so only makes people correctly go to AfD. Only after that problem is resolved can we deal with the pork-breathed Germans (which are also a problem but a much smaller and easier to contain one).
What I don't get is that in Germany all the weird elite pedophile stuff is just sort of ignored. In the us at least we had a spectacle of Epstein supposedly hanging himself after a seriously long and troubled court case. In Germany weirdos like Kentler and Edathy, Cohn-Bendit, Gieseking, the entire editorial team behind "Dr. Sommer" have basically nothing happen to them. I mean seriously imagine a national publication with open calls for kids as young as 13 to send in nude pictures for mass publication and it's normal and mainstream. If a guy on Whatsapp did it he would go to prison for a long time in a normal country. In Germany it's just a normal guy. Extremely creepy nation.
Well Europe is cooked I guess
Fewer pennies is ok, the egg prices are still decent, people wont starve. Time to rebuild, the most important thing is to get all the yank bases etc. out of here. De Gaulle warned about this in the 60's. The russians and yanks are free to live in their oligarchies, don't care, we don't need those bellends here
Not sure who "we" is in the scenario. When Donald trump pulled a small number of troops from Germany in his first term it dominated the German news for at least a week. Germans love having American military bases here, not just for protection but also because places like Kaiserslautern exist purely because of American taxpayers. You may not like it, I certainly don't understand why America would even want to protect OR rule Germany at this point, but German politicians love it. Perhaps the EU will hold another Ukraine war summit without Ukraine and not make any commitments and just talk and talk without making any progress like eurocrats tend to do.
