People from Berlin are from all over the world. So did you feel weird then when you went home? What about all those people with the common identity in Berlin, all your friends? Did they all leave too? Most people I know have been there only a few years... I wonder where everyone else went ?
The worst thing about Berlin is u usually spend all your savings to get there and then you get trapped. Then after that, it’s nearly impossible to move out to a better city because everything is so expensive to put a payment on a new flat or get Airbnb to then get new flat even if you get a job offer. Then you have to deal with the people in first world that are oblivious to any real struggle so will not understand what you went through. So thanks Berlin.
And not only that when you tell people of what you went through like fines for random things like downloading (over 2000) or tickets you’ve already paid they keep asking you to pay because you are foreig, nobody believes you. Nobody believes they foreigners are harassed and can barely do anything because germans will always band together . Nazism never died and when you need help with something sometimes they just try to hurt you because you are not German and on purpose
And then not only that but harassment and evil behaviour towards you serves no repurcission in the society. And even the far right can legally march they should not be allowed to but you see why is because the police and also the country is facist as well.
OMG, the lefty freak state leader is behind arresting this pregnant woman for wanting to have a demo with face masks and social distancing. Phucking lefties, they are the commie scum of the earth. Puppets of China.

When you read that only 9k Germans have died with covid, remember that in 2013 the government suddenly realized that 1.5 million fewer people live in Germany than previously thought. Wonder how many bodies are rotting inside of apartments, unnoticed because they have no friends/family and the Amt pays thr bills directly for them.
Germans are the biggest losers on the freaking planet
I sometimes love to eyeroll them when they go for a late stare when you pass someone by. Looking at their phone being all busy so I'm already done with them. But then they think they can sneak in a glance. It's socialness at its retardedts which is what the eyeroll means.
Here's a spicy fact: Contrary to public German belief, an average German consumes more alcohol than an average Russian.
It's only possible to deal with Germans and their miserability while being addicted to a substance, because sane people can't.
Only one place to go for USA news, shame Berlin doesn't have the equivalent www.breitbart.com
Now for some good news, this was inevitable
US Firms Move Supply Chains Out of China, Explore Options Closer to Home
BY EMEL AKAN August 31, 2020 Updated: August 31, 2020 Print
WASHINGTON—The U.S.–China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic have forced companies to reduce their excessive dependence on China as a single supplier.
U.S. brands have started to explore sourcing options closer to home, with Latin and South America gaining significant traction in recent months, according to a survey by Qima, a Hong Kong-based supply chain inspection company.
The survey conducted in July among more than 200 businesses around the world found that respondents are increasingly moving their sourcing away from China. Ninety-three percent of U.S. respondents reported that they had plans to further diversify their supply chains. Meanwhile, less than half of EU respondents had a similar strategy.
China is still a major global player for sourcing, however, its dominance has become “noticeably less dramatic” compared to prior years, according to a Qima report that shows key survey findings.
For example, 75 percent of respondents globally named China among the top 3 sourcing geographies this year, compared to an overwhelming 96 percent in 2019.
Many companies especially those in textile and apparel have made supplier diversification a priority for a while, with Vietnam continuing to gain popularity as an alternative to China.
“Consistently ranking among China’s regional competitors, Vietnam continues to reap the most benefits of the continued mass exodus of Western buyers from China, with 40 percent of EU respondents and almost as many U.S. brands including Vietnam among their top sourcing regions,” the report stated.
Among other Asian countries, Taiwan is emerging “an indisputable leader” as it enjoys overwhelming preference as a sourcing market among American companies.
The pandemic has also accelerated the need to reshore supply lines to the United States or near-shore to Latin and South America.
“For U.S.-based companies, sourcing destinations closer to their home country continue to grow steadily, with the popularity of Latin and South America almost doubling compared to last year,” the Qima report stated.
The survey found that 39 percent of U.S.-based companies indicated plans to source more from the United States and North America and 13 percent from South and Latin America.
“Meanwhile, EU brands are increasingly turning to Turkey as a near-shoring destination,” the report stated.
For decades, most large U.S. multinational corporations have heavily invested in facilities and human resources in China to gain access to the Chinese market, and they have already given up their intellectual property as a price of entry.
However, the pandemic, coupled with the souring sentiment against the Chinese communist regime over the past few months, has forced many corporate boards to dramatically alter their sourcing strategies.
Supply chain sustainability also has become a hot political topic as the November election approaches.
President Donald Trump pledged to end U.S. reliance on China and bring back 1 million manufacturing jobs in his second term. He recently proposed providing tax credits and allowing “100 percent expensing deductions for essential industries like pharmaceuticals and robotics” to incentivize companies to produce in the United States.
Trump also signed an executive order on Aug. 6 to ensure that essential medicines, medical supplies, and equipment are made in the United States.
In the past two decades, China has become a crucial global supplier. According to the United Nations, China accounts for nearly 20 percent of global trade in manufacturing intermediate products, up from 4 percent in 2002.
You know, even though I don't have any specific reason to hate Breitbart I always avoid clicking on any link that page. It's not that I really think they're lying any more than mainstream German media, it just somehow gross to go there for me. I need to work on it.
Anyway, also read www.zerohedge.com for real news.
Invited someone I met online to use this site yesterday. She hates this place even more than I do, which is an incredible amount. There are a lot more people who hate Berlin than you'd think. Be vocal and keep your eyes open and you'll find them. They're everywhere.
I avoid people in Berlin like the plague.
Evil city full of demons

To all the poor dumb birdbrains out there who believe Covid is any more than a flu. Actually, that's an insult to birds

A few days ago I saw a guy dressed in an 80s punk uniform (red plaid pants, ripped up t-shirt, spiky hair, big black boots) walking through Mitte with a speaker blasting "The KKK took my baby away". These people are such conformists. It's not like you can just walk into a store and buy this shit. He had to find some specialty shop and made conscious decision to dress like someone from 40 years ago to show us that he doesn't agree with society. Perfect representation of Berlin.
Did I make a mistake by leaving Berlin? The situation in America isn’t any better.... in fact it feels worse
It's only worse if you're in a big blue city. No crazed rioters and militias patrolling red cities because they still have law and order. If your issue is the economy, Germany's is doing worse and their unemployment scheme is currently worse (no stimulus checks, no umeployment bonuses - just Kurzarbeitergeld (60% of your salary which is coincidentally the same as unemployment here except you actually have to keep working here). If it's because of covid spread then who cares? Death rate is dropping and the number of false positives is starting to be realized. If it's because you're worried the lefty might lose in November then maybe you should return to Berlin.
The main reason Berlin stinks is political. Lefties phuck up everything they touch. They are experts at gas-lighting and rhetoric, but never any substance, never for anything only anti everything. The greatest morons in that city are lefties. Suckers, perverts and dunces.
I hate Berlin because of the angry germans. There are areas where you can’t find lefties but you can still find angry germans. I hate the gov aggressively fining me and coming after so many taxes when if you look at Mitte it’s polished af for the tourists. However they don’t even bother putting money into neukolln like paving the streets because they are racists. I also hate the racism and the far right as well as the far left. But I wouldn’t say I hate far left more than far right they are both equally as bad.
The gov also takes so much money from working people and brainwashed them into thinking the taxes are going into something good. So then tell me why are people making 250,000 a year only paying 3% more tax as those at 50,000? It makes no sense . So yeah this is why I hate Berlin.
