Hey all you morons who used Facebook, Twitter and Instagram etc etc etc etc . You'd better watch The Great Hack on Netflix and see just what total idots you've been, you've sold your life down the toilet. You phucking imbeciles deserve what is coming your way. There's nothing for nothing in this world. Good luck you phuckbrains.
Even if you ignore the privacy scandals, the gaming of the algorithms and the weird disconnect between facebook and reality in terms of how people interact, it's still proven to made you more neurotic and less happy. Plus there's a lot of Germans on there that like to argue with each other in bad English.
It doesn't even have to be done by Mark Zuckerberg or anyone high up - it could just be a polisci grad who sets the rules and regulations on Whatsapp use who anonymously leaks your conversations to the press. Say something slightly controversial in public (think Mario Lopez saying parents shouldn't give 3 year old kids hormone replacement therapy) and it'll happen. They can put all the in-app messages about end-to-end encryption they want but it means nothing when the encryption keys are saved on their servers. And, by the way, it's the same darn thing with Threema and probably Telegram. The only difference being that Threema and Telegram aren't yet trying to curry favor with the media and politicians by pushing identity politics (remember when Whatsapp was falling all over itself to figure out if Alex Jones had an account they could ban?). Doesn't make a difference anyway when you're using an iPhone that stores all its keys in ffucking China or an android that... I think we all know what Alphabet has been up to since 2016 thanks to Judicial Watch. Maybe ParanoidAndroid is better (but doubtfully since it's financed by German Paul Henschel) or perhaps Cyan but as a normal person you have no way to know. Probably time to throw your smartphone in a lake.
I wish more "berlinhaters" that have left Berlin would share their experience in their new country of choice, and how it compares to their previous life in Berlin (but perhaps most them never come back to this site, I wouldn't blame them). I get the feeling a lot of people here would benefit. A lot of us still here feel stuck and unsure of where to go. I know for myself that living in Berlin has created so much fear in me that I'm afraid anywhere else will just be the same. I've read a lot of posts on here over the past year and as much as I love the rants, I'd also love some constructive posts from anyone who has escaped. Personally, I'm considering Portugal, a smaller city, not downtown Lisbon. When I visited Lisbon a few months ago I didn't get a good vibe from it, parts were nice, but other parts smelly and ugly just like Berlin. I'm thinking of heading to an even smaller city, or close to the city in a country house. Porto perhaps? After many years here in Berlin I feel so disconnected from people and from nature. I don't want to go for walks in the parks and have to dodge gay prostitution, drug dealers, people have sex, public urination (men and women) and naked sunbathers (go to a nudist beach for Gods sake, not the public park). I also don't want to watch people in my community throw trash on the streets. Maybe I'm too picky. Maybe every city is disgusting. Maybe every city smells like piss and cigarettes (not true, Japan is fightingly clean).
Most mega cities are like that. I think Porto is a good idea. Also Montreal, Wellington (NZ), Adelaide (Australia), Liverpool, great people there. I've herad very good things about Bristol. I love Bolgna, perfect size and cool happy people who love celebrating life. Galway. Cologne has very friendly people. Hamburg for sure. Wroclaw (Poland). Amsterdam is wonderful but expensive. I love Bratislava for a vist, very chilled out small city. Spend a few days in Poznan, easy to get to and cheap. If you are into vegan food, use HappyCow.com as your app to find veg and vegan places anywhere in the world. Also Tunbridge Wells, lovely people there.
Could anyplace be worse than Berlin? There's either a drug dealer, a public urinator, an ad for an adult massage studio, a poster for dildoking, a prostitute, a puddle of fresh vomit or a pile of dog poop on every single corner. You'd be hard pressed to find this combination of hedonism and filth elsewhere in the world.
Every time you visit another city, you have to realise the difference between Berlin and abroad. When I was now a week away from Germany I realized, it was almost everywhere quite tolerable! When I got out at the airport in Berlin, I felt really miserable and at that moment I realized, that I don't want to be in this town anymore! I think when I'm moving out of Berlin now, I'll just silently watch the way people behave elsewhere. First I go to Barcelona and I want to stay there for a while and calm down. Are you afraid to leave Berlin? Afraid to go for a better life? Think realistically. OK? ;)
Sounds like you've been speaking with Berliners. When you point out one of the many things wrong with this city/country they'll inevitably respond in one of three ways: say it's the same in all big cities; deny the problem outright; get angry. It's not the same everywhere.
OC here. Thank you for all your comments. Mark my words, I'll be out of here within the year. I wish it could be sooner but realistically won't be until next spring. Good thing is that I'll be traveling a lot in the meantime, outside of Germany. I'll have to visit Bratislava, I've never been. Thank you for the motivation :)
Is London really that Bad ? Which is more worse Berlin or London ?
I used to live in a nice town all the way up in northern Germany. Clean streets, clean air, nice, friendly and smiling people, beautiful old architecture. Now I live here and everyday I ask myself how normal people can live here. Heavy, polluted air, loud, dirty streets full of garbage,stone, asphalt everywhere, the people are always rushing somewhere, nobody smiles. When you go shopping, you get greeted with a grumpy, depressed face. Everyone seems to be effin nuts, everyone pretends to be someone he/she is not.
I once read a comment online in which Berlin was called Deutsch-Großaffendorf. Seems very befitting.
It's the same in every huge metropolis these days, Paris, London, Hing Kong, Stdney, Melbourne, Moscow, LA, New York, but Berlin is the worst I have lived in by far. I've been expolring smaller cities of between 500,000 and 1 mil and love he feeling in these cities. They usually have everythng big cities have, they are usually cheaper and more friendly and welcoming. If you want to see a big show once or twice a year, just go to the mega cities for it, but enjoy the other 363 days much more in a city where you are not anonymous.
If you spend too much time in Berlin, you will develop a mental illness and be forced to adopt Lefty-Speek, even if you don't believe their pseudo-anarchist and communist bullshittt. You'll become lazy and lose all your drive, you never find dependable people you can rely on, and you'll end up leavung in tears anyway, so why not do it now. This city is one huge lunatic asylum.
Live somewhere where you don't have to squeeze your entire life into a tiny, poorly constructed shoebox-sized apartment that belongs to someone else. Where people feel a sense of responsibility and accountability for their own possessions. I.e. somewhere that isn't Germany. Even tiny towns here are full of apartment complexes because people here are too poor or too poorly organized to ever own property. Hard to ever feel like an adult when you have to listen to your neighbors pissing. flushing their toilets and closing their cupboards your entire life. Feels like perpetually living in a student dorm, minus the camaraderie and sense of youthful hope.
Mein Name ist "Hellen Karin". Ich bin 68 Jahre alt und 42 Jahre alt. Mein Mann hat mich und meine vier wunderschöne Tochter für eine jüngere Frau verlassen und ich war am Boden zerstört. Als er im folgenden Monat nach Hause kam, sagte er mir, er wolle sich scheiden lassen. Es war, als hätte sie ihn in einen bösen Bann gezogen, mein Mann wandte sich über Nacht ohne Vorwarnung gegen mich und ging am nächsten Morgen des Tages wieder, als er zurückkam. Es geschah am 3. Mai 2001, als meine älteste Tochter das Abitur abschloss. Ich war verzweifelt und weinte jede Nacht. Bis ich eines Tages meine Klassenkameradin besuchte, die im Ruhestand ist, aber glücklich verheiratet ist und 6 Kinder hat. Wir haben beide das College mit einem Studiengang abgeschlossen. Ich beschließe, meine Ehe mit meiner Freundin "Norris Katherina Wellinton" zu teilen, die mir hilft, mich mit einem mächtigen Mann namens "Mr. (Adams Power Temple)" zu beraten. Als Ergebnis all seiner wunderbaren Arbeit sind mein Mann und ich wieder zusammen. Ich bin so glücklich mit meiner Familie und habe heute fünf Enkelkinder.

Imagine this scenario:
You're a gay guy walking near Warschauer Str.
You see some women who had just been sprayed with pepperspray.
You offer help.
She declines and calls you a gay.
What do you do?
A. Ignore her and continue with your business.
B. Punch her
C. File a police report against her for hurting your feelings
Find out here:

Maybe it was a gay who pepper sprayed her. I personally can't stand 80% of mincing Queen gays, especially because they are the real haters, yes hetero-phobic. Funny how more heteros die of prostrate cancer than gays of aids, yet the gays get more medical funding. How does shat work. Oh that's right all the gays and their feminist friends have been screaming for 40 years that hetero white men are pigs. No time for gays. They and feminists are the enemy of white hetero males.
Just randomly saw the Stuttgart video on twitter. Hadn't heard a word about it at all today. Checked all the regular online newspapers: Spiegel, Morgenpost, Berliner Zeitung, FAZ, Bild, Stern, etc. Only Bild and Spiegel mentioned it at all on the front page. On Spiegel it was literally just a single line of text that says " Stuttgart: Tatverdächtiger gesteht Attacke auf 36-Jährigen". Free press my ass.
Right now I'm trying to remember the last time I had a good night's sleep. All the stuff that has happened to me since I came here has kept me up. fml
Count the brainwashed Lefty sheep, there's a couple of million of them in Berlin, that should get you to sleep for some nightmares. A freak show jumping over fences in heir 'anarchist' uniforms. Anarchists, :o)))) what a joke, they are a cross between the brown shirts and KKK.
Saw a big beautiful "Be Proud to be Trans" poster today at a bus stop, paid for by the gosh darn city of Berlin. What a time to be alive.
Anyone who joins any app ot anythng else online through their social media accounts like Farcebook, Twatter or Instaspam, you are total morons. Just in case any young people are not aware of this, when psycho-Scmuckerberg first started Farcebook, one of the Von Twinkle twins asked him how he was persuading students to give him their information and he replied "right, I can't believe these fffucking idiots would trust me with their information". How prophetic that statement was. Stay away from all of them, unless you are completely 100% anonymous, if that is possible. I was just reading a story about a woman who had a running app, that traced her every move each morning and was then posting it to her 'friends' on Farcebook, without her knowing that her route and times were now public knowledge, guess what, yes, one morning during her regular 30 minute run, her apartment was robbed. There are thousands of ways for sickos to use your online presence. Be very very careful.
Here's another example, a dude in the USA when he was 16 - 17 was posting beween friends this and that about everyday teenager stuff, and when he was 23, he wanted to run for public office as a conservative, but guess what, all of a sudden certain information he'd posted on Farcebook started being leaked, his public office careeer was finished before it got started.
Do you realize that Farcebook would have been the STASI's wet dream tool. Are you all brain dead Millenials or whatever you call your poop hipster 'lifesyles' these days.
Here's some links to help you with these pathetic new fangled time wasters.

I'm done with this city. A few days ago I got a call from my daughter's kindergarten that I need to come in and have a talk with the caregivers regarding her recent behaviour. Yesterday afternoon I go in and they tell me that my daughter has been bullying some other kid every afternoon when they're outside playing. I ask for more details and they told me that there's one German kid who likes throws a fit everyday unless he can run around naked when they're outside. Apparently my daughter told him last week some time that she wouldn't play with him unless he put some clothes on, which made him freak out and cry all afternoon. So they called me in to tell me I need to have a word with her about it or that I'll need to find another kindergarten. What the hell? I know there's a lot of people here that let their kids run around naked but how the hell is what my daughter did bullying? And what's worse is that it's pretty much impossible to find a kindergarten in this city so my only options are either to teach my daughter a completely messed up lesson or to quit my job and be a SAHM for another year until she enters school. What the fuck?!?!?!?!
Dont quit the job. These assholes will make it harder for you to reenter the job market. Teach your daughter that the boys behavior is not correct, but to ignore him, because, unfortunately, he can not be disciplined properly. WTF. I would report the vagina teacher too.
OP,
I think most sane people around the world would find it incredible that this kind of stuff is allowed to go on, but having spent some time in this country I can actually believe it. Here one has to accept that right is wrong, up is down, light is dark and 2+2=7.
Living in Germany is a slow drip of weird and bizarre cultural norms that get stranger and stranger the longer you live here. I had a German girlfriend once who confided in me that she gave her brother handjobs as a kid. Run away from this degenerate cesspool.
The greatest Feminist fail of all time, gotta love Jordan B Peterson, please, someone bring him to Berlin www.youtube.com/watch
Everywhere I go — trash on the streets. Everywhere I look — dirty and strung-out people who seem to be barely scraping by. I thought I was moving to Europe but feel like i moved to a 3rd world middle-eastern country with a weird German subculture who’s bonded together by their “too cool to care”, left-wing extremism attitudes. No one seems to be working to better themselves and the ones who want to work and grow in a serious career will be met with a joke of a wage offering. The wages for professionals is so low, it’s embarrassing. And in-spite of all the social handouts, people here literally treat this city like their trashcan. The parks and U-Bahn stinks of stale booze and piss. Homeless people are literally sitting in mountains of empty beer bottles and trash. I’ve given Berlin 1 year and I feel like the city has poisoned me. Never in my life have I been so negative, never in my life have i felt so hopeless in society. I’m so ready to leave the place and am counting down the day. Everywhere I look, I see a city ravaged by poverty, drug addiction, booze, and general apathy to strive for anything better. I might sound like an elitist, and maybe I should have never moved to this city in the first place (but I didn’t really have any other options).
You are not imagining all this, so don't worry, you haven't gone totally insane, everything you said is 'real', and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Best to treat Berlin like Vegas, spend a few days to gawk at the freak show, but never actually live here.
That's what Berlin has become, a DisneyLand with freaks.
Roll up, roll up and see the pierced and tattoed ladies. See a man actually pisss in the open, even when families are walking by, if you're lucky you might even see one of them take a shitt. Be astounded by the AntiFa fascist thugs, who are a cross between the brown-shirts and the Klu Klux Klan. Peruse a bevy of tanned gay men masturbatingg each other in public parks.
Roll up ladies and gentleman and feast your eyes on the multitude of single mothers and fatherless children of African illegal immigrant drug sellers and pseudo-anarchists. See the drug addicts and acoholic beggars. The battalion of bottle collectors, the only people doing good work in Berlin. These are not actors ladies and gentlemen, they are real people. Spend some of your hard earned money here and you will leave with a greater appreciation of how good you life is in your own state and country. See with your own eyes the foundation being laid for a future Islamic state.
Roll up, roll up, for the diseased offal masquerading as sausages and doners, there's one on every corner, next to the ubiquitous spati, you know the shops that all look the same sellin the same old rubbish, with the drunks hanging around, being obnoxious and sad.
Roll up, roll up, for the never-endng freak show.
Roll up and see grow adults trying to pass their baby siblings finger paintings as art, ebcause they were too busy looing cool and 'partying' to pathetic techno 'music' to actually learn anythung about art. Experience people being rude to you for no apparent reason, these neanderthals even have anthropologists baffled.
Roll up, roll up.
