If I saw this site before Berlin I wonder if I’d realize it was true or just think the people were a bunch of haters lol...
Ps it’s true
Berlin is a gay version of Disney Land Paris filled with 3rd world migrants
I am not at all.
But let me try to explain it to you in a diplomatic way though i am not sure you will understand it but I will give it a try.
If I were a new visitor of this site and I would read such posts, my first thing coming to mind would be: No wonder he feels bad in Berlin. He seems to be true idiot.
Capish?
You are not helping at all
I didn't care about gays either way until I moved to Berlin and saw that they openly fu#k in the public parks. If they acted like normal human beings and had some decency I wouldn't care. If I see them jerking off in public then of course I hate them. It's not that difficult to understand.
giving this guy some appreciation ;) some Berlin bashing with canadian humor ;)

I am reminiscing the good times in Berlin. I seem to have forgotten the last hell-year. What is wrong with me? Why am I think about going back? Is it because nobody I know has the same experience? They just stay in the same city their whole lives, not like the people who go in and out of Berlin?
I don’t understand, why I am thinking these things. Maybe I just miss having people to relate to, in the struggle of what I went through. Nobody can relate to me. Only on here. I wish I had a better idea where to go, but with corona I am stuck...
Anyone else feel that friendships hardly ever happen here, and if they do, they are often shallow, one-sided or just fade out?
I went to uni with a bunch of foreigners (I think only about 30-40% of our core group was from Germany). Almost all the Germans stayed among themselves - especially all the blond German girls. They all studied together and would hang out together in the evenings. All the German guys were complete retards (they made terrible grades, were just super lazy/dumb but still conceited as fuck). I thanked God every day I was there for the large number of foreigners. Steer clear of Germans.
When I first came to Berlin I knew hardly any German, those were the good old days, anyway, I kept hearing people saying "alles klar", and I thought they were saying Alice Clarr, and wondered why everyone was talking about her, so I asked a german what Alice Clarr does, is she a singer or actress, and of course he said, "I've never heard of her". Eventually I embarrassingly found out it was Alles Klar.
Anyone still of Facebook is a dumb-khunt and a phuckwit
Most people born in Germany but with immigrant parents feel they come from the parents’ country of origin. Even those that feel German are considered “Ausländer” by German, no matter how they look. That says a lot about the society here. But then again, it wouldn’t be much of a problem if they didn’t look down on all foreigners (except maybe Japanese people). Truly these people have learned nothing from their history.
It's weird to me because in the US where I'm from, people generally call everyone who is a permanent resident there American. Even formal places kind of keep that line of reasoning, like at immigration checks at airports. If you have a greencard you can use the American citizen line. But in Germany people don't even consider you German if you have a German passport, look German and have a German-sounding name. This is the weirdest form of hypernationalism I have ever seen.
I know lots of immigrants who say the same. They also say that they don't want to be part of the German society. They find germans to be mentally ill. Even when they are in foreign countries for holidays or work they always say that they are from Turkey or Italy or Spain or Lebanon.
So sad. Shame on those germans
They don't want to be German, for starters.
Perhaps that is their way to cope with the discrimination they face at all levels. I don't excuse (muslim) immigrants' reticence to integrate, but if you were constantly treated like you are less simply because of your origins, you would also want to stay away from society.
I wouldn't say arabics or turks are racists. once I saw how a black guy was controlled by German police in neukolln.
Police officers were very rude. Seconds later as the immigrants, Turks and arabs saw the situation they all stopped and screamed at the police and insulted them extremely hard. The situation got so dangerously that the police officers hat to call for another police crew.
I find immigrants in 2. and 3. generation to be very open and cool and so un-german.
Yeah well German law is complete bullshit. Police can just stop you and demand identification and search you for no reason at all. I'm not saying they do it all the time but it has happened to me for no reason enough times to be pissed off. And recording police is basically illegal in Germany (like everything else).
Do all eu countries have the same friends since grade school or is it just the Germans . I know also Swedish can be this way..
Poles, too.
Building real friendships past a certain age is very difficult. Some might even say you should give up on real friendship altogether if you don't have any once you reach a certain stage in your life.
That said, Germans often betray their friends. I wish I had an Euro for each time a German has told me that his girlfriend cheated on him with the "best friend". I thought it was an American thing.
I am from the EU and my best friends are some of the ones I made in high school. It’s true that building real friendships past a certain age is very difficult. Building friendships with Germans at any age is impossible. I’ve seen how my ex treated her friends. She ignored them all the time to be with me. Not cool.
I am from non EU and we make friends any of our life stage.When you were teenagers or younger like same pop stars or hobby can build friendahip but when you grow up easily find that the attitute to the life is not sharable anymore.So we open for it.From work,or sportsclub,during trip or even from online community.But here friends are only people you know from Kindergarten and or yes maximum year 12.And others are what?I don't understand this.Closed mind people ever.Same like going Gymnasium or not.Life already set.Friendshop already set.One thing they are very wide open for are casual sex,open relationshio,abandoing parentshood.For those they are very open and whatever can be possible.
Everyone outside Germany assumes I make 5000 euros per month and live in the most liberal and progressive country in Europe. They think technology here is top notch and germans are efficient at everything.
Even if I try to tell them how wrong they are on so many levels, they refuse to believe me.
How has this country so good PR? It’s unbelievable
I too get irritated when someone praises Germany as some sort of great country where you can make bank. I never met a German who made more than 3000 Euros a month.
And even then..if someone in Germany truly earned 5000...what is the point if you are miserable? No freedom of speech. No way to own a house. Media entertainment sucks. People around you are unhappy and make no qualms about it. Depressive, grey landscape. Politics are a circus. Food sucks. Lots of crime. Dirt everywhere. Rules everywhere. Ugly women. Weak men. Degenerate society and culture.
OP here. Thank you for the accurate comments. It’s true, even if I did manage to make 5000 per month, all Germans would be extremely jealous of me and hate me even more. They don’t like it when other people are successful, especially if they’re foreigners
Yes exactly.I have seen so many documentaties about How.Germany is great.Very good social welfare system people enjoy their life blabla:Yes i can see the happiness from.Harzt4.German technologg and punctuality:Yes I can see that from always broken or delayed Sbahn and trains.Gemans know what they did in the past:Yes feel bad what thry did but still think that they are the best people in thw world Aryan.Hahahahaahahaha
Whoever does the marketing and PR for Berlin is a genius. How can you convince hipster from all over to this idiot when they could really go anywhere else and gather ? Boggles my mind
I put my life on hold until I leave this country
Antifa called the cops on a friend. Started a legal prodedure. Xenophobic towards my friend, yet the guy is “working with migrants”.
Wtf
I left Berlin to live somewhere else in Germany, in a small city. Best decision ever (I can’t leave Germany yet, so yeah). There’s real nature where nobody goes or pisses or does those terrible things Berliners do in parks. Nobody cares about you and if you’re not social and don’t want interactions with locals, it’s paradise. If you can’t get out of Germany, get out of Berlin. That city is cancer
