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.

Reminds me of how the German press portrayed Marco W. when he was held in a Turkish prison for sexual assault on a 13 year old girl. Or how they portrayed Raoul from Switzerland when he was arrested in the US for molesting his sister. As long as you're German (or close enough) you simply cannot be a criminal. What an absolute joke of a country.
Something weird has happened to me several times here that I can't understand. On at least three occasions (maybe more that I can't remember) I have run into former colleagues in public and I'll say hello or wave to them and they'll just completely ignore me. They will look at me but without even any kind of twinkle of recognition. I know it's a little much to assume that everyone I have ever worked with will remember me, but these are people I dealt with on a nearly daily basis. I also am very easy to remember because I look quite different from the average German. I cannot imagine having someone I know say hello to me and just completely ignoring them. I can't really even imagine doing that to a stranger without feeling extremely uncomfortable. Has this happened to anyone else?
Yeah and the person looked afraid. I think some people feel pressured to interact and then they avoid because of that, instead of picturing the normal life thing about it. They only saw the wolves from their dreams, not the sun. Or they were not in a spontaneous moment. But probably something like a relieving feel by avoiding. They probably rationalize it like no longer part of my life. But it is surely no bad ignoring with an intention to set somebody off. It's so weird
I think they stop caring once you are no longer a possible benefit to them. I once jokingly said something similar to a German friend I once had and he never spoke to me again because I assume he took it seriously. I would have thought it would have been clear I was making a joke, but I guess he didn't see it that way. Or maybe I am just an idiot.
Yes this also happens at German universities. People talk to you and want sth from you when you are in their group in a course but when the semester is over you are dead to them.
Germans are always looking to get ahead and they dont care if they trample over others to get there. Its an everyone for themselves mentality. They have no consideration for others feelings. They are competitive and cold hearted to the core.
Yes it happens to me DAILY ! At work.
The foreigners, usually greet one another. Germans on the other hand don't. Very rarely and unwillingly.
They are very cold people and it makes you think they hardly have feelings.
Their heart is hard as stone.
After 3 years at this job they keep avoiding saying just a Hello. ROBOTS !
Clubs lines doors, unfriendly and ugly people, left extremists
It's a messed up world when I have to get my news about Germany from screenshots of tweets made by foreign journalists (because of course thrir tweets are banned in Germany). How is this not on the front page of any German newspaper?

I didnt even understand the CONCEPT of racism before I lived in berlin. And I have been treated with such utter disrespect that I cant help but be racist towards Germans. So Germans I hate you for making me understand racism and for making me racist towards you and only you. Because racism is wrong and close minded and for stupid people with no education and no ability to see people as complicated individuals that have nothing to do with their background. But with Germans you have to be very very careful because they have grown up in this dangerous closed minded society.
Take your multi-culti tears with you. I don't hate any race, but some cultures leave a lot to desire. These Muslims and Africans you mention above, bring it on themeselves. Filthy African trash selling drugs on street corners to impressionable youth, and Muslims telling Christians how they should live.
Give me a break. The average German had no say at all in Germany's refugee acceptance policy. And I am highly suspicious even of the photo ops of families with teddy bears and signs welcoming the refugees. Germans in their own words don't like strangers and are harsh, cold toward such people. Just because a German leader, with all the hubris and connections that accompany a career politician not subject to term limits, allowed 2 million refugees into the country (which even her former security minister claims was to prevent the total collapse of the Greek government and thus the failure of several German banks) doesn't mean Germans aren't as a whole racist. Think critically of what you're being fed for once in your life.
Another thing that I wanted to add: before I came and lived in Berlin I couldnt get my head around how something like the holocaust could ever happen as it just seems so incredibly broken up. But when you ser how indoctrinated Germans are and how scared (or maybe just incapable) they are of expressing their own opinion or doing anything "outside the box" and not according to rules you start to realise the mentality that lead to it. There is a great fear of being original, of standing out and not just going along with stuff like a sheep. And if you do stand out you are humiliated or shunned. Germans have a huge fear of "the other" and that is why they subconsciously treat foreigners like shit. They dont want to be associated with that otherness as it might make them less perfect.
