SPD and CDU are working on legislation that will give certain newspapers 360 million euros. So add newspapers to the growing list of media that's directly controlled by the German government. And, speaking of newspapers, did you know that 5 years ago when they introduced the first minimum wage laws in Germany, that the German government specifically made an exception to the minimum wage for the downtrodden newspaper delivery people? Something something "free press", something something "indirect subsidy".
Germany must control all information at all times.
Finally, I got into a company where most are foreigners. Night and day, I tell you. There’s only one complete aßhole and he’s German of course. These people are on a secret competition to see who can be the greatest aßhole, I swear
The worst type of Germans is ironically the "open-minded" one. You know it:
-dreadlocks
-listens to sh*tty indie bands
-drinks yerba mate
-is in an open relationship with at least 10 other people
-vegan
-votes Die Grüne
-has so many tattoos that they look like the average building in Berlin
-if they are males, they are "metro"
-rave about having "lots of foreign friends"
-at least one STD before turning 20
-traveller
-dislike the USA, but their German is infested by words borrowed from American sitcoms and series
-weed maniacs
Die Grüne, the official party of pedophiles in Germany. Did you read the reports on the homeless children they PURPOSELY put into the care of convicted pedophiles between 1970-2000 in west Berlin? How about the 30,000 pedophiles (many within the German government) they are investigating in NRW right now? Maybe you heard about the sex-kindergartens the Greens were running in the 70s/80s (probably longer but victims here never come forward and there are virtually no whistleblowers). Surely you heard of the book on child raising printed by the German government until 2007 that explicitly stated that German fathers should "caress their daughter's clitoris and give it a nickname to promote bonding" (it is called Körper, Liebe, Doktorspiele). Or maaybe you saw the German-piloted UN report on childhood development that was criticized by Bolsonaro because it suggested that children be allowed to engage in same-sex masturbation/sex games starting at age 12.
This whole country is governed by the vilest pedophiles around.
"Did you read the reports on the homeless children they PURPOSELY put into the care of convicted pedophiles between 1970-2000 in west Berlin? "
Why, yes. Did you read about Daniel Cohn-Bendit, one prominent Green politician, openly talking about his adventures with children? Disgusting.
Someone posted this earlier and they're right, it reminds me of so many stupid arguments put forward by Berlin male-hating feminists

I feel like joy and happiness are taboo emotions here that must be shushed up. What is giving me that feeling? That if I smile too much or laugh too loudly, people will criticize me.
They will criticize you because they’re secretly jealous of you. “My life and the life of all Germans I know is absolutely horrible and miserable. Why does this person smile and laugh? He surely got illegal money or scammed a German or has made the life of another person a complete hell. That’s what we do here to smile. Make others suffer”
Why do people I meet who I then don’t talk to look absolutely terrified of me? Is it because I have my poop together ?
Aare there any EU cities that are easier to live in? In terms of money for being an expat and the system etc or are they all this hard? Coming from North America so it’s different but my friends from Spain even have problems
No, the whole EU continent is the same. Maybe Switzerland and Luxembourg are the exception. For other Americans coming to Europe i think we all failed for the dream that Hollywood depicts. Europe is no way close to America when it comes to making money. Not even close! America is poop too but a least you can make money and up the social scale. Europe is good for a short vacation noting more than that.
because of jews, we have this problem, when there is not jews, we don't know this problem.
These people are stingy and cheap. When you possess these two traits, you also believe being good to others costs to you, so you become extremely reserved and stingy with emotions as well. It’s what extreme cheapskatism does to you. That word doesn’t even exist, but it should have because it describes this mentality perfectly
In my experience Germans like to be extremely blunt and then you that you are too sensitive. Then they'll turn around and get so offended and emotional that they can't even form sentences when you treat them the same.
It's the place where hipsters and expat programmers meet. Everything gets downvoted to "0", because they are all a bunch of pretentious wankers that think they're better than everyone.
Did they build all German apartments with no internal sound insulation like that on purpose? Is thay some technique they popularized during stasi times to remind you that privacy here is a farce and that you'll never escape the tyranny of loud neighbors? I can literally hear my neighbors sneeze at times. How the hell is this standard of living considered normal here?
I’m so mad because I feel like I failed in Berlin. But really it’s just been such a struggle since two and a half years to keep my head above water. If I had known was so bad in retrospect I would have gone about it differently but at the same time I found out who I was. More professional and not compromising for what I want in life. And maybe someone with a bit more of a plan that would always be uncomfortable in Berlin when everyone around is wandering aimlessly. It put me in some bad places. At times I did get aimless/ really I feel I had wasted some time. If I come here again, I come on a sublet and with the money to execute the plan which I should have done to begin with except I had no money. Don’t move to Berlin. Just sublet.
It should not be “if I come back here again”. It should be “once I’m out I’m out!”. Made the mistake of coming back here after leaving some years ago. I forgot how bad it was and thought it had something to do with me. After I build something for me in another country I though I can really achieve something here. BOY WAS I WRONG! Now its back to building an escape plan and tear down all bridges
The extreme lack of public toilets affects women far more than men. Women have to choose between paying a fee every single time they have to go, or exposing themselves in public. Meanwhile men just easily piss against a tree, or against a dumpster, a gutter, a wall, off a subway platform...Also women have to deal with periods, and are more likely to be caring for children and elderly who need restroom facilities. Let me tell you about the time I got my period, out in public, on a freaking Sunday that was also a church holiday and all the shops were closed and there was not a city toilette to be found.
Fees to use restrooms add up, but this is not an issue because it doesn't affect men so badly. Tell me again how Berlin is so progressive.
That is one thing that also get me angry. No free toilets anywhere. I was shouted at many times when simple walking pass the toiletpeople. Once I pushed through one of those gates (i never have cash on me) and the toiletperson saw me over the camera. guess what he followed me to the toilet
I'm sick of the trash and graffiti everywhere. I'm sick of the overgrown weeds and yellow stringy sickly plants and dirt patches. No gardens flourish here. All the plants look half-dead and they are struggling to find sun. I'm sick of the false summer. I hate going out to enjoy nature in the parks and know I might come across men pissing out in the open, sucking each other off, doing drugs or selling drugs. I'm sick of the areas in parks where the ground stinks like urine and there are shreds of tissue and toilet paper everywhere.
And what's with freaking stinging nettle plants everywhere? And the landscapers just freaking leave them there to grow. What person in their right mind thinks "Yeah a poisonous plant taking up half the walkway here... Let's just leave it"? Imbeciles, the entire darn country.
And yeah, amazing that even the women here will have a piss out in the open. Was walking along a shaded path a few weeks ago. Some woman was pissing right on the actual path. Thought I was in a filthy porno or something but no - it's just Germany.
we were sitting in britzer garten, a nicely maintained park and you even have to pay a small entry. so we enjoy nature and eat there on a bench when some f*cking dude walks up behind us with his little daughter, walks into the bushes next to us, i already know what is coming, and yes: he lets her pee on the tree next to us.
savages. disgusting. typical.
I guess the thing that bothers me most about Berlin is the insistence that everything here is the best. How Berlin is a happy, open, free, vibrant place to be or something. It makes me feel like shiiiiiit, what is the rest of the region like if this is considered open and vibrant and non-racist?!
