Berlin is a sink that attracts people who cant take joy in the gifts of life. I’m currently engaged and looking for a home for my young family near the swiss border. Im happier than ever and almost cant stand the thought of the joy yet to come. Looking back at my Berlin days, wtf was I doing, what were we doing? What are my old friends still doing there? Heading from club to club, house party to house party, edgy fashion/art event to art event, dinner party to dinner party... Then hang around miserably in our lonely spaces, watching netflix, just like all the other 10.000 people on our street, waiting for something to happen. The next diversion, interaction with other lost souls, always carrying the closeted desire to find something or somebody that is better than all of this.
Thing is, I knew Berlin sucked almost as soon as I arrived. Everyone sort of does. I remember everyone around me exhibiting depreciating humor centered around how overhyped Berlin was. And yet, we all came and we all stayed. No wonder this site exists. No nature, no sea, no mountains, no architecture. Just thousands upon thousands of people who just like you have no life. No house, no car, no path. But when all your friends suck as much as you do. When looking good in a mirror and having a cool painting next to it is enough. And when everybody outside of Berlin encourages you to stay, really because you are their Berlin guy. Of course, then, its easy to tell yourself to stay.
I’ve lived in a few big cities most if which were also capital cities. Honestly, im 50/50 about the big city life. But Berlin is pure garbage.
Grest post, really spot on! Especially the part of people outside of berlin encouraging you stay when you try to explain them why it sucks and you eant to leave, because they can't understand it as they only visit from times to times and have a few a good time, a few nights out, etc for which the city is not that bad, but living here is a whole other story
Berlin is popular only because of the free education and the cheap rents that used to exist. It is full of trust-fund babies, students and pseudo artists, who have no life experience, most have no family or friends here, so they rely on the people they meet for companionship, trouble is, they are all lost together, all blind sheep leading each other in a boring circle, and all getting brainwashed by their lefty professors to believe Marxist communist rubbish, yet they all come to a capitalist country from all over the world. Always remember, students are moronic sponges, until they have had at least 5 years of real life expereience after their brainwashing, preferably 10 years.
That is why Berlin is a boring shiiithole, because none of these students have real life experience. They are in for a huge shock, especially when no one will employ them because of their sagging ear lobes, pock holes from past piercings and tattooed necks, they are the future factory workers.
"But hey! it was fun for awhile, constantly drugged-out or piissed to the eyeballs, destroyed teh city with pathetic streeet 'art' (meaning colored in kindergarten fonts) and we did get to burn some cars and beat some family-oriented conservative people up and stop them from speaking freely, but now I'm one of those family people, how embarrasing, I hope no one ever finds out about my Berlin past".
Most of what is important to learn in life, we learn from our immediate and extended family and long-term friends, who will help us back to balance if we stray away, but no one is honest in Berlin, no one is loyal, responsible or trustworthy.
The only regret I have in life, is that I stayed too long in Berlin, trying to break the code, until I finally realized that the code itself is broken.
"The only regret I have in life, is that I stayed too long in Berlin, trying to break the code, until I finally realized that the code itself is broken."
That needs to replace all the postcards and magnets you see in the tourists shops with this idiotic quote by Anneliese Bödecker (whoever the hell that is).
"Die Berliner sind unfreundlich und rücksichtslos, ruppig und rechthaberisch, Berlin ist abstoßend, laut, dreckig und grau, Baustellen und verstopfte Straßen, wo man geht und steht – aber mir tun alle Menschen leid, die nicht hier leben können!"
Sorry for this but how the hell did Germany and Japan rebuild themselves after WWII? They're the biggest two losers from that war and yet now they're considered among the most advanced countries on earth. I don't want to believe all this Rothschild, George Soros, Illuminati poop but how else can you explain this shit? Germany should have worse living conditions that Bulgaria but somehow they don't. Doesn't add up, especially when you take the average German into consideration.
I know Japan owes it's remake to William Edwards Deming, whose quality control ideas were laughed at in his own country the USA, so he took them to Japan, and the rest is history, and now the biggest prize in Japan is the Deming prize. It was quality that saved Japan and propably the same for Germany, people love reliable products. The problem is that now Germany is run by morons who were brainwashed by Marxist Lefty professors with their communist ideas, so I wouldn't bank on Germany being in top for long. My guess is Italy will make a huge comeback and also Poland.
If the the USA pulls businesses out of China, they will flush down the toilet quicker than you can say "one child policy". My guess is a lot of USA businesses will move to India, because tehy speak English and a more compeitive with cheap labour, but unforunately you can't trust Indians, it's in their culture to rip you off. Try doing business with one of them and you will end up in the poor house.
Here's the Wiki William Edwards Deming link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming
They are rich, because after WW2 the world was looking to find out who had the better political ideology, west or east?. They initially wanted to strip Germany of its industrial power and turn it into a farming nation. Most of Germanys industry was surprisingly left intact after WW2 ended. But they decided that it would look bad and play into the hands of communism. So instead they boosted those countries economies.
Germany was reorganized by These countries WHO got a big Piece of These cake...s .yes partly it was rebuild
But at the other Hand not...................i Heard some workers once Telling me a stone and a beer
That is meaningful for These people........Beer means social gatherings........that in this moment is alcohol involved "..."..................they won't say..........and the woman partly rebuild this hole............Stone for stone
Trummer-------woman
Kind of wonderwoman. In a real Kind of sense
I hate when females are testing. Because they are so stupid. They are too stupid to test! They actually communicate the freaking test which means a lack of the genuine thing that YOU NEED to technically human wise reply to it. These dumb freaking females. They think hm lets see how this guy is. I ask him something and they don't even CARE really and obviously it communicates. Then they take the confusion as a verification for their freaking test being not positive. DUMBBBB freaking FEMALESS ( I say that with love)
This filthy feminist cnt would fit in very nicely in Berlin. Watch Jordan B Peterson totally crush her into oblivion.
Gotta warn you, it's an embarrassment for women as a gender, especially Feminist women, just shows how fcked up they are. Listen to her tone, not that you couldn't, it makes her ideology obvious. 17,345,000 hits so far.

Here's a little simulation for you. Pull up a Brutto Netto Rechner for Germany. Imagine the following:
You earn 3,000 EUR per month.
Including your health insurance contribution your employer is required by law to pay, you earn about 3233 EUR per month.
Solidaritätszuschlag: 23 EUR
Kirchensteuer: 38 EUR
Lohnsteuer: 417 EUR
Rentenversicherung: 279 EUR (BTW you must live 20 years after entering retirement to just break even on this)
Arbeitslosenversicherung: 38 EUR
Krankenversicherung: 464 EUR (the amount you pay plus the amount your employer is forced to pay)
Pflegeversicherung: 53 EUR
At the end of the month you'll receive something like 1900 EUR.
Now imagine you want to buy something with your hard earned money. Let's pretend you're only buying things at the normal VAT tax rate here. You'll probably buy food or books or something else that has the discounted rate, but this is just a simulation.
Your spendable money is now just 1556 EUR
You're effectively being taxed 48% despite the fact that you're basically bottom class.
From the Vaclav Klaus Institute (and where I think this place is at):
'Migration and the climate remain the key topics of the domestic political discussion in Germany. In both cases, the ruling elites, under the pressure of the green extremists, are getting dramatically radicalized, as the example of the Bavarian PM Söder shows. The worshiping of the deluded Swede, proposals for a carbon tax and a higher tax for meat are new examples of this neverending story of the hysterization of the German elites, so skillful merchants of fear in front of whom the Germans love to surrender so much. The government has rejected the meat tax, it's true, but it seems to be the old ritual from the recent years in German politics: the Greens propose something, the CDU seemingly rejects it, but it simultaneously starts to prepare changes that enable the codification of these proposals a little bit later.
In the far left German press – in whose opinion not even the Greens are sufficiently fanatical – we may read about even more horrifying proposals, e.g. the "radical restriction of freedoms" or "the establishing of the ecological Gulag". It is obvious that, abusing the comfort of the many-years-long fight against the Right and partially shielded by the SPD, Greens, and the Left (Linke), new forces emerged and started to thrive in Germany, forces that are no longer hiding their desire to liquidate democracy in Germany and to establish a hardcore green terror instead.'
The reason the Left took on the Green issues, is because since the Pill, we have had two income families, which means lots of money in each household, which has lulled working-class people into thinking they are middle-class, because they drink lattes etc. So the Left needed a new platform to stand on and decided to hijack the green movement. But most people don't buy their apocalyptical doomsaying, that they use to implement more taxes to spend on their Marxist ideological propaganda. Filthy far-left cnts, what we need is an antidote to leftist AniFa thugs, and stealthily fight fire with fire. .
My advice is to draw a firm line in the sand and get out of here when that line is crossed. Whatever it is that you hold dear, draw the line and don't compromise. Incrementalism makes radical shifts over a few years difficult to recognize and I am seriously concerned that Germany five years from now won't resemble Germany from five years ago.
Yes, I agree, it's the boiling frog trick, when the frogs don't noctice the incremental changes in temperature.
Here's the thung. Left-wing radicals are brainwashed sheep,who have had no real world expereinec and when reality hits they will try to distance themselves from their Facebook, Twiter and Instagram etc etc etc etc.
What should be taught to young men is Jordan B Peterson interviews with Feminists, starting here. www.youtube.com/watch
'Incrementalism makes radical shifts over a few years difficult to recognize and I am seriously concerned that Germany five years from now won't resemble Germany from five years ago.'
That's what I'm afraid of. Recent developments in Germany are troubling indeed.
When I first came to Berlin 7 years ago, I was full of feelings of optimism, enthusiasm, positivity, dreaming big, motivated, empowered, creativity, generosity, cooperation, and abundance.
Berlin evenually brought me down to it's level, I lost it all, but here's the good news, I just spent two months away, and it all came back again, that is why I am leavng this shiithole, I want my real self back again, I want to do my small or maybe large part to make the world a better place.
Dear Stasi Zersetzungs Unit,
You did it. You beat me down. You destroyed my will. I'm giving up. I'm leaving Germany before week is up, either in a jet or in a body bag. I know you groomed me for years, trying your best to draw me into a compromising situation for later control. You once implanted dreams of being a normal, contributing member of society. I know the exact moment you realised you couldn't control me and instead opted to destroy me. I know the techniques you've used over the last 5 years to infect my brain. I know the extent to which your slimy fingers reach within the German economy - a module in every HR suite. You made me unemployable. You made my flat uninhabitable. You sent your spooks and your g men and your henchmen after me, not to kill me but to make me kill myself. You stationed police in front of my home who would laugh at me every night. You positioned the mindless wino below my window who howled at the moon and laughed at her own bodily functions. You intercepted parcels and contaminated my medicines. You stole my mail. You spoke with my neighbours in search of damning information. Well it's over. I'm out. I'm going for a long walk now through the darkness of - well you know exactly where I am, don't you? I know you're behind every overheated phone, every hard drive that randomly spins up, every smart speaker that begins actively listening. Come and end it now, this may be your last chance.
You know who
The coolest thing about weird posts like this is that you'll never know if the person offed themselves or not because there is absolutely no way to find about about suicides in Germany unless you witness them with your own eyes or if the suicide is so utterly horrific or otherwise out of the norm that the German press reluctantly covers it (self-immolation in front of an embassy is the only example that springs to mind).
But we do know from the Snowden leaks that what's mentioned above is possible. We know that the NSA was actively controlling smart phones half a decade ago, we know they intercepted computer hardware shipments. We know from well documented stasi practices that stealing mail and publicly discrediting people has been practiced in Germany for at least 45 years (the newspaper neues deutschland is a relic of the DDR that was confirmed to have been used in extreme cases where people were pressured to the point of suicide. It is still in circulation.). What we don't know is anything about Germany's present day spying practices because sadly there are no notable whistle blowers. We do know that the BND most likely has just finished building the world's largest spy facility in the history of the world. In 2014 they are on record complaining that they could only manually monitor 20% of international calls in a plea to increase their budget - that plea was granted. What would it take to completely ruin a person's life? Probably not much more than creating a small service provider for the automated human resources tools in every modern company. You could call it a "sentiment score" that crawls the minutia of every social media profile a person has for not only incendiary comments, but also likes and simple page views.
There's a guy I see on here writing about how everyone should delete their facebook accounts and after a few months of research on this stuff I cannot agree more. But you also need to delete twitter, instagram, chrome, stop using google, use your phone for nothing beyond the most mundane of tasks. Do I think whatever today's stasi is called is now in the business of ruining political opponents? I can't prove it either way, but when you have virtually unlimited computing capacity and fully automated systems I don't see why they wouldn't be. Germany does its best to project an incompetent image to the world (can't finish an airport, missing known terrorists at entry and exit points, inability to enact data retention laws) but it's just a facade.
Hey, what AI are you using to read my mind, this is scary. You are 100% on the money. Make sure you watch Jordan B Peterson vidoes, he is the western world's only hope, oh, and of course Farrage. Also look at kookykimbo.tumblr.com
Berlin...home of nazis, stasi, and antifa. A city of evil.
It's because Germans all vacillate between far right extremism and far left extremism, worshiping nothing but the state and environmentalism. It's always been this way and always will. To these mindless robots violence is OK as long as you have the right opinion.
The rarest things in Berlin are signs of courtesy, signs of appreciation for generosity shown, the words please and thank you, a smile for no particular reason, a helping hand, someone saying yes", and any form of co-operation.
Just as an experiment try posting anywhere on the internet with a reasonably sized community about how much you hate Berlin/Germany. Try reddit/quora/twitter/yahoo answers. Within minutes you'll have rabid expats and bumbling Berliners foaming at the mouth over the things you've typed and you'll be banned within a day or two if you keep it up. This isn't organic and reeks of astroturf.
No wonder Berliners don't wnat us here www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/08/22/one-quarter-of-germans-now-come-from-migrant-backgrounds/
I wish I never had to see or hear another German ever again.
Nothung changes in Berlin, thius was written here 7 years ago:
I hate the tube here - especially the U8, ancient square featureless carriages, filled with a complete cross-section of lifes losers and losers to be, each emiting their own gut-wrenching body odours.... each journey is a feat of human endurement..
Overpriced, very unfriendly, it sucks here
Creepy freaking german organization owner who is celebrating the fact that more families with young children are joining the FKK movement.

Why the hell is the only international news coverage of Germany about some creepy butt shit?
Oh sorry, here's an article about Germany from the international press that isn't about something creepy:
apnews.com/7eeaa0b5fde44b98a4f8dc896da295a3
"Wide implications as Germany teeters toward recession"
The country's been trying its best to pretend this isn't happening, blaming weather patterns and river water levels. Wonder what kind of conspiracy poop they're gonna claim this time. Probably it'll somehow be AfD voters.
