Got an amazing view of someone taking a poop right in front of the neptune fountain on my way to work today.
Moved from Berlin three years ago. Has the following got worse since I've been away:
- "refugee crisis" aka the 3rd world freeloader infiltration
- poop art projects. I was hoping gentrification would wipe them out
- Drunk locals on benefits who hate foreigners
These three points are what made me leave.
Why should I pay tax so my neighbour who pays just €200 rent can stay at home and get drunk every night. Don't get me started on the migrants they're the same people...just looking for handouts. The artists are a tad different, they're just lost in life but are very annoying due to their moral superiority.
Worst are lefty-SJW-virtue signallers, mainly made up of types on your list. They think they are going to free-thought universities, but get sucked into a brainwashed Marxist, anti-capitalist cult of young people who are cut off from all that is important in their lives, family and friends, because they wanted to have a 'cool' Berlin experience. If I had my way, I'd rename Berlin, Berserk.
The city is overloaded with lost 'anarchist' lefty-fascist thugs, for whom black is the new brownshirt. I'm happy for you that you escaped before also becoming mentally ill. I've been out for two weeks and feel much better already. Dreading having to go back soon to tie uo some loose ends. These morons buy the lefty, global-warming-apocalypse fear-mongering, hook, line and sinker. Not one original thought in their braiwashed heads.
"Why should I pay tax so my neighbour who pays just €200 rent can stay at home and get drunk every night."
That really is what opened my eyes to The German Dream. I was busting my butt with a 130% course load at university plus evening classes at a VHS here plus working 20-30 hrs a week just to scrape by barely in a tiny 1 room apartment. The guy who lived below me literally would yell every night until about 2am and then start the next day at noon. Couldn't leave my window open in summer cos the butt was always smoking weed and something else that smelled like burning tired (maybe DMT). Refused to answer the door the millions of times I tried to complain. The cops/ordnungsamt refused to do anything as did the landlord. I assume he was on handicap money because he was only like 20. Anyway, I did the math and realized it's always that way in every apartment here. Thanks to H4 and Wohngeld you're never more than an arm's length from social scum. If somehow by a Berlin miracle you earn 60-70k € it is still the same. You have to leave this hellhole to have a real life. It will never change unless the welfare state fails and these children are forced to grow up.
Too many Romanian,Balkan,East European and Arab Scum in this City. They should be all deported
I wonder where Berlin would be if it weren't for all the fat English people and Americans. Not only talking about after the war and throughout the cold war but also all the poor saps that spend their money here on misguided holidays full of disappointment. Does Berlin have any industry outside of tourism?
lol this whole freaking thread, especially the Germans who are taking this so freaking seriously:

Berliners from the East are constantly looking for things to admonish you for. I had the same thing with a snack bar and the young guy was threatening to call the police, I said "fine, do that and they will be verypissed off with you for wasting their time". He backed off. Much pettiness in Berlin.
Nobody sneezes in supermarkets. Do you have other ideas? Stuff that shud be there but isn't.
It's ok to blow your nose like that you entitled fuk!. You think you're funny? You're a fukking moron. Stupid puddle. And fuk you too to this stupid ignorant little fornicator that I nearly talked from below to. But no my friend, you are not fukking above the friendly good thing I wrote. Maybe you wish, but no, you just are not. So kindly go fuk yourself.
People can be some nasty little fuckers. They foul all the time. You just feel something and they take it personal and they freaking start spitting at you metaphorically. I was buying some things and I said "whatever" as the way that I felt about the stuff somebody did, the deal he was making. I was really feeling like that. I didn't have an intention to sucker punch. And I type the pin and he sucker punches me, saying to type it while I already did. Because there was no need I would have my guard up. He shud have no business sucker punching. Because it's bad karma for him. I am not responsible for the way he felt. He actually acted like "whatever", no care, and I said "whatever" to this. That WAS the karma. Then he think he can sucker punch. It confused me. I resisted to reply and collected myself back. Because he followed up the sucker. In the moment of confusion he said. You don't need the receipt right? phrasing it that way provoking a brainfart of No to literally suck. I snapped back. Don't need the receipt. Just pushed him away literally. He replied a friendly bye (brainfart) to it which I naturally ignored because I just snapped and was off. This little poop you just underestimate, no sane human has on his radar. Otherwise I'd say Shut!, the f.uck up. right when he says the first word because I know what he will say. Or something light. Cause it just little poop. I mean seriously, this is not very high haha
I actually like it better to not figure them out. I do not recommend what I wrote. The guy who replied not seem to have understanding. I didn't even write that it hurt me hahaha. I didn't even say that and it didn't. I was just confused. He might not actually had a bad intention, so who knows.
I think I finally understand now. I was at a friend's birthday party last night and ended up having to sit next to some random German girl. Tried to make small talk like you do at parties and, of course, the German was incapable and decided instead to laser focus her attention on the fact that I'm American so she could drag out all her cliches and stereotypes. Guns, violence, prudishness, Donald Trump. I'm pretty used to this actually and it doesn't make me mad or ashamed or anything; it's just tiresome. Anyway, at some point she said something like "Oh, but I don't mean people like you. I've found that Americans who have been outside of the U.S. are generally decent people." Since I'd been looking for a change of topic anyway, I asked "So where have you been in the U.S.?" She laughed sardonically and said she would never travel to the U.S., especially not under Trump. I asked her how then could she know how Americans who have never been abroad are. She said something like "Of course everyone knows how they are from television" and got really defensive. The thing is, her logic is clearly and demonstrably flawed, but I'm sure immediately afterwards when we parted ways and she retold the story that I was somehow the buffoon because I didn't just agree with her without reservation. Everything here seems that way in this culture steeped in uniform, unquestionable dogma. I was never particularly patriotic before I moved here, but I'm really starting to fully recognize the superiority of a nation with actual measurable diversity of opinion.
I have been to the USA, many times, and I do think there are a lot of dumb people there, but they are not the ones wearing the MAGA hats, the dumbest are the ones wearing the PussyHats. Left-wing people including AntiFa fascist thugs are the most stupid people I've ever met in my life, but left-wing Germans are a very close second.
Left wing people are so preictable, they bore you within a minute of talking to them, they don't have an original thought in their brainwashed heads.
I don't disagree and I wouldn't argue that there are no dumb people in the U.S., but I'm struck by the ignorance of supposedly educated people (the girl I was talking to had a M.A. in communication and I honestly don't even know why she mentioned it to me).
She was whitelieing. She really not mean people like you. And she probly not even mean to talk all this stuff as she did at least. She just got afraid that it would appear as if she means people like you, by this fear, and then said that while at the same time she was just afraid to say such a thing to you. She lost the plot. Her fear meant to not say this because it was clear to you, wasn't it? You didn't feel she means you. You could actually said, "don't worry, I know what you mean" I guess
OMG, an M.A., no wonder she acted like a know-it-all jerk-off. I bet she also attended women's studies and gender studies courses, with men-hating homosexual professors. She's just a typical Berliner with a narcissisitic, superiority complex, it's in their genes.
They should move the capital back to Bonn. Probably sucks there too bj
ut at least fewer DDR leeches and govt sponsored "counter culture" antifas. Berlin is hell on earth.
The DDR types are tryi g ti get their head around capitalism and they are struggling, maybe the new generatio will adjust. The problem is, they lived their lives through a system of gi=overnment monolpoly, so tere was no need for customer service because there was no where else to go, and of course they just became so used to rudeness, it eventually became normal to them.
One day in Berlin I was returning form my meditation class and entered the U-Bahn Station. I was in a state of high spirits and must have had a content expression on my face while I looked around at others waiting for the train. I met the eyes of another man and her quickly said to me..."was kuckst Du so blöd"....
ich hasse die Ikea Familien, die nach Alt Treptow einziehen und ehemalige Gärten zerstören lassen, um mit ihrem Frust, ihrem scheissNachwuchs und ihren kaputten Beziehungen unser weitereben im kiez unmöglich machen
Yeah bro, let's petition mommy government to ban the nuclear family! The outskirts of Berlin are there for the SMART progressives like us that don't have kids, are too poor to live any more centrally and do our drugs in squalor. Maybe if we piss all over the streets we can drive them away. Maybe if we set their personal property like cars and kinderwagen on fire like they do in Kreuzberg they'll leave!
Anti-Family lefties are one day going to be the old drunks you see hanging around the spatis with rotten teeth and sunken faces, getting into fights with the only people who can tolerate them, their drinking buddies.
Did anyone in Berlin ever hear the term "healthy, wealthy and wise", or "nothing replaces family". Grow up you moronic Peter and Peta Pans

True Story: Got fired from the 5-Star Swissotel at Kuhdamm after 1 day for apparently being „untalented“. Never seen this before. During buffet times 50-100 guests dining, but nobody there to serve them. The buffet looked disgusting. People were missing utensils. I went into the kitchen, door just 5 feet away, find 20 Berlin fukkers slacking off in there, eating the guests food, another group out on the balcony smoking. Whatever happened there, idk, fuk me, I felt sorry for the guests. After being one of 2-3 people actually going out there fixing things up, taking orders and making the guests feel welcome. The assistant manager picks me up, leads me to her 5m2 office and while walking there smirks and says „no, we dont need you to come back, you dont have a talent for this industry.“
To be clear: I grew up in an oil-rich sunny tourist city. I was a friendly, pleasant kid. Maybe I was a lil stuck up about the quality of everything and should have spent more time also slacking off behind the scenes making allies. But being originally German myself, I could not help but feel embarrassed for the pooping low-class experience they provided.
It all goes back to the modern Communist roots of Berlin, where everythung was run as state owned monopolies. All business that were as monopolies, like state run telecom and postal services, are the most inefficient, most rude, uncaring and most expensive.
These lies have weakness surely. It's like calling her bluff. "Why is that?" Ok she would evaded it. But you could (possible) said how you feel. "Because I care for the guests? "Because I am fixing things up?! (while others are outside doing nothing) You know what? You are Fu*cking Right!!" Then leave (of course). The thing with saying how you feel is always just about to actually say what you mean to say.
Living in kreuzberg since 11 years, and finally i decided to leave. Im sick of sluts coming from all corners of the world, drug dealers, and drunk foreigner fuckers chatting under my window at 4am, disgusted of provincials who brought their superficiality and unoriginality to the city. Berliners are originals, they are really not interested on your opinion,and that's refreshing. Are those hipsters or same equal poop who studie their "originality" down to the milimetre. Boring sht
"Berliners are originals, they are really not interested on your opinion,and that's refreshing."
One of the most retarded things I have read on here. Berliners aren't original. They're a throwback to the neanderthal era before niceties like manners and culture and empathy and hygiene were developed. They mistake rudeness for directness and realness for malice. Oh wait, OP is a Berliner himself. Get fucked, kraut.
I've met enough of you shitboy Berliners to know I don't need to meet anymore. You're all the same exact person. I honestly wish they'd chosen Berlin instead of Hiroshima. Would probably be the only way the rid this city of its perpetual piss stench.
Is this just your identical twin or are you both simulations:

Seems all Berliners are brainwashed to think that "provincials" are inferior, as if somehow growing up in a city where a public urinator is at all times just a stone's throw is somehow better. At least the "provincials" have a sense of community unlike in Berlin where everyone is anonymous and the only random encounter with a stranger you'll have is when someone is when a sad, elderly lady asks for your Pfandflaschen, a crazy schizophrenic in three jackets yells random words at you, a drunk Berliner attacks you with a beer bottle or some other unsavory creep pisses on you from a bridge. Keep your "worldly" and "sophisticated" Berlin, I'd gladly live amongst the "provincials" and go without sex dungeons, drug dealers on every street, exhibitionists in every park.
Even Kurt Tucholsky said recognized how ugly and worthless this city and its inhabitants were a hundred years ago. Read this and think of how much is still valid:

Someone posted this below and I finally got around to watching it, Jordan B Peterson really is a genius, I've since watched three other YouTube vids with him and he nails it every time. www.youtube.com/watch
I almost feel sorry for this male-hating sexist Feminist, the way he destroys her rote argumensts is brutal. www.youtube.com/watch He's my new hero.
I've just been reading through the past few dozen pages and I see he's mentioned here a lot and I've sort of fallen down a Peterson rabbit hole on youtube. Maybe it's the same person posting his stuff all the time, I don't really know and it doesn't matter but I found his book 12 Rules was pretty helpful to begin to fix my mindset that had been broken from living in Berlin. I think the interviews like this that are unnecessarily adversarial don't do justice to the guy. The controversy surrounding him honestly seems rather contrived, especially since he's capable of fully articulating his thoughts. I don't really like the gotcha-style interviewing method being used in most of his videos. It seems a lot like what you face here in Berlin (I wrote the comment above about being ambushed with American stereotypes at a party). He ends up repeating himself a lot in the interviews online since he's always put on the defensive about the same exact things.
Anyway, just wanted to say I liked his book, especially the parts about taking care of yourself as if you are someone that you're responsible for and only saying things you know to be true. I like that his simple message is to be responsible and accountable for yourself. I listened to the audiobook around Christmas and it's helped me have a somewhat more positive outlook on life. It's emotionally authentic, which is a breath of fresh air after being here so long. I feel like there's a big problem in Germany with acknowledging emotions and maturely processing them.
