Berliners and people who are from Germany are Hussy sons. It‘s like they always search for trouble and they are belligerent and passive aggressive. If they do this in another countrys they would be beaten to death ! fornicate Berlin and fornicate this whole stupid Gay Country !
fornicate GERNMAN SCUMS, fornicate GERMANY
Germans, small talk is not "small talk". Small talk is basic human decency and politeness. A concept so foreign to you that you feel the need to name it.
In today's Zeit - a rant against small talk www.zeit.de/zeit-magazin/2019/46/smalltalk-konversation-gespraeche-unlust-mitmenschen
I left Berlin three years ago and I want to tell you the grass is really greener.
- My new relationships are better. No one acts like an angst ridden 16 year old. We've got real lives and jobs that need doing. No one writes blogs on spaetkaufs or sells rubbish at flea markets
- I started exercising again. I ran a fair bit in Berlin but the dog poo was always a worry
- Food is better. Screw German supermarkets. I will never shop in a lidl or aldi ever again. They seemed to be the norm in Berlin.
- My colleagues are smarter. I've moved to a place where social science degrees are not a degree. I haven't seen anyone play a card ever. Berlin was full of talentless people always blaming their lack of ability on anything but themselves.
- Folks who work public jobs are nice. They're not total jobsworths like in Berlin.
- I used to hate small talk when I was younger but now I understand its importance. We are all alone in this world and it can really make a difference to have a surface level chat with a stranger. In Berlin, you're completely alone, as in you're the only person in the universe; unless Gunner like the look of you on the U8 whilst he's rubbing one out and his dog is crapping on the floor.
I apologise if this came across as gloating. It took me a year to snap out of the Berlin mind but now I am free. I urge anyone who can to leave. If you're unfortunately stuck due to family, getting regular exercise, having 1-2 good friends and not interacting with stupid Germans will help massively, ignore the novelties and expats, they're idiots as well.
OP here, thank you for all your kind words. I wish all of you peace and prosperity in the future.
Just remember, F*ck all the haters (Berliners/wannabe Berliners, not people on this site). We're aerodynamic and their place is simply a refuelling stop which has cheap gas.
A German degree is worth about as much as the paper it'll be printed on (100 gram card stock). Cut your losses and bail. I have had potential employers abroad tell me they've had too many bad experiences with German graduates to bother trying again. They have told me a German Master's is not even equivalent to a Bachelor's elsewhere and I think they're probably right. Tertiary education in German is more about forming societal norms rather than imparting knowledge. Sad to see so many resources being wasted on phony education.
FUCVK THESE GERMAN BASTARDS MAN.................... NAZIS ALL OF THEM................................
I don’t know where to start. People are trying so hard to be “alternative” or open minded or non-caring that it in itself becomes pretentious and so darn homogeneous. And that rather than the open mindedness being the ability for people to have space to be or do or think what they want, people mistook it for a race on who can be the weirdest one here, for no other sake or purpose or desire than just being weird. So that for a city that’s supposedly so diverse, people ended up looking the exact same kind of trashed as the next person, same style, same 2 cm bangs, same “trying to look so homeless I spent 300 euros on a ripped jacket that I had to queue outside the store for, because it’s so different that the rest of the city wanted to get it too”. And same for ideas, hobbies, aspirations, whatever. So that everyone is sooo into underground techno, MDMA, good ol’ occasional bondage, open relationships, attending demos whether they know for which cause or not and whatever else they think sounds alternative, although there’s virtually no alternatives as the remaining 99% of the city are into the exact same thing. And of course, whatever you’re into, awesome, just PLZ FKN BE INTO IT just cuz, and not because you wanna say you are because you think it makes you interesting. I just really miss people actually having an opinion on something or being interested in something and passionate about things intrinsically, and not just for the sake of faking a personality. The exact. same. fucking. personality. as every other forsaken fornicate here. And the exact same kind of miserable, because for some reason everyone here seems to hate their life, hate their job, hate their relationships. And the thing that drives me crazy the most - that they freaking love being miserable too. Dunno if depression has become the new sex fetish that’s in at KitKat at the moment so people get off on it or if being a drained emotionally unstable fornicate makes you seem more edgy so that it’s being romanticized in this dump. Probably Berlin’s philosophers like that instagram guy think it gives them inspiration for their “art” that LITERALLY makes no sense, like the one “let’s fight for capitalism without capital” quote so that his equally senseless fans can sit and think “uhhh, that’s so deep” THOUGH CAPITAL LITERALLY IS ALL THERE IS TO CAPITALISM.
Anyone been to Vienna and would recommend the place?

Me after living in Berlin: "Mrs Merkel, rebuild that wall".

I hate the fact that I have to listen to some woman in my building barking like a dog while having sex. Sickos
I recently got acquainted with an African-American guy at a chess tournament. After all this time here it was good to talk to someone with a heart and a mind. I heard some stories about his time here and they weren't great, especially the ones about the racism he had experienced. Sad stuff really.
An African American, (PC way of saying, black guy), told me that he doesn't catch buses because all the bus drivers are racist towards him, I siad, no, they are like that with everyne but he wanted to keep playing the vctim card. The leftists have brainwashed the black community into believing that playing victim will get them what they want, but all it does is make them feel helpless. Candace Owen is the antidote, she will bring black people up to feeling equal with anyone, why, because in reality, they are equal, but they will never be accepted if they keep playing the victim game.
Dear fellow sufferers,
I first came across this site four months ago and I'm wishing I had read it much earlier. It might have saved me some money, time and plenty of anguish and emotional hardship. It's been almost a month since I made it out of here. I should thank the creators of this site for giving us all a place to vent and share our experiences. Some of the comments on these pages, particularly the earlier pages, are GOLD. They should be recommended (or compulsory) reading for anyone considering setting up base here. I can relate to just about everything that is raised in the commentary ie.
-The blatant racism experienced by those who commented on here.
-The dogshit in the streets. Huawei even made an advertisement poking fun at this issue.
-The unnecessarily complicated and arbitrary ways in which things are done here.
-The seemingly cold and unfriendly atmosphere.
-The unbelievable acts of pettiness that I have both witnessed and experienced (I could go on about this).
-The lack of real creativity and willingness to think creatively and outside the square (if you are an original or independent thinker you may have some trouble here).
-Backward mentality.
-The thinking that these people know it all and their readiness to impart this 'special' knowledge to the rest of us.
-The subtle and not-so-subtle dislike of foreigners.
-Fake, broke (and broken) artists who think they're Albrecht Durer.
-The sheer expense of living here (bullshit taxes, pension fund contribution of 200 Euro/month like wtf etc.) I'd hate to try and set up a business here. I probably wouldn't anyway given how things are here.
I've spent a bit of time in other places like Hamburg, Nuremberg, Cologne etc. and although things are a bit nicer there, those places still have many of the issues that one finds here. Sh###ing on other countries and people does not come to me naturally but such was my experience here and hence the need to unload. I am now back in my old stomping ground in Northern Australia, working at my old job. It's not my dream job and it ain't perfect here (there are many problems) but my time in Berlin and in Eastern Germany has made me appreciate the things that I had taken for granted before leaving Australia.
Australians are the most brainwashed PC snowflakes, if you don't toe the lefty victim line in Australia, your persona non gratis. Australian men are like sheep, bleating out all the rehtoric that feminists demand of them, they have no balls at all. Bettina Arndt has to do their dirty work for them. Ausralians are world champion virtue-signalling SJW's. Australian 'men' give me the creeps.
6 DAYS till I leave this godforsaken idiot forever. It will be the longest 6 days. This is the worst place I have ever lived in my life (and I've lived in numerous countries). I honestly think I will suffer PTSD after leaving here.
I genuinely wish to never heard another word of German spoken in my life. And I hope to erase all the memories I have of living in this horrible city. Somehow I think the nightmares will linger though.
who the hell knows why they downvoted my comment, I don't give a shit. Its now down to 4 days. Thats all I care about. Getting the hell out. Maybe this person is just living in denial and hoping if they tell themselves enough times its ok here, they will believe it.
