Why do people assume hipsters are left-wing?
Here are some possible reasons:
Hipsters tend to be young and young people tend to lean a little more to the left.
Hipster fashion is not conservative (in the fashion sense, not necessarily the political sense, but there is some connection). By definition, hipsters are people who are trying to be trendy and yet unconventional at the same time.
Beyond just the clothing, hipster style seems to incorporate things like tattoos, piercings, drugs, scraggly beards, etc. These things are all more commonly associated with the left.
Just like the word hippie, the root of hipster is “hip” and there is a fairly strong connection. In many ways, hipsters are like modern hippies and hippies were very much left wing.
Hipsters do seem to often be connected to left wing political causes. I doubt you would ever see a hipster at a Trump rally, but they are likely fairly common at environmentalist meetings, gay rights rallies, the women’s march, etc.
At least some people don’t act superior while posing modest, which is the whole idea of them “better, open, tolerant” people that think they’re way is the only (and best) way. I’ll go with the hater within ;) We don’t have to agree, there’s place for everyone #Diversity
Lefties are the new fascists, if you don't agree with their opinions, you will be branded an 'ist' something or other, beaten at a peaceful rally or have your car burnt, they are he new Nazis. Lefties are thugs, hipster Lefties are only out to get laid so they pretend to be Left-leaning until the big contract lands on their desk and then they will also buy a Merc or Porsche. Don't be fooled by Lefties, they are either mentally ill from too many drugs and alcohol or disingenuous.
I hate to say it, but I miss living in a bigger cheaper city. Getting a car and insurance is so expensive in the states.
Commuting daily in a car all the time is depressing and risky. I used to love to drive when I didn't need a car for survival even though I often hated being around strangers on BVG and DB.
Berlin gets you addicted to the easy cheap life. You can get away with a lot legally like drugs and sex.You get affordable healthcare so you are covered if you get into an accident.
I still hate berlin, but I do miss not having to have a car.
It's so tough to start all over after getting used to Berlin living.
Wow tough crowd!
Commuting 40 miles a day with entitled idiots on the road is hard. Car insurance is cheaper in Germany because people are not as litigious and incompetent in driving as in the states.
I live now in a conservative state where weed is not legalized. I'm not a frequent drug user but I occasionally partake especially in concerts. In a conservative state, I can't even have a beer on the beach without hiding it.
I just bought a decent V6 and got a job in a sunny vacation paradise away from Berliners and bitter ignorant expats. You people deserve to be depressed because you attack others out of bitterness.
I actually changed my life instead of sittinf on my butt insulting strangers online.
All the reasonable normal people left this site.
If you don't want to be responsible for your own life at all then why not just move into some institution where everyone does everything for you? Why not move into public housing and live amongst other people who can't handle the burdens of the modern world? You might even consider prison.
The entire original post is a laugh. If you can't have a good time without being openly drunk in public or having to do drugs in public then you should seriously seek professional help. Even in the most conservative enclaves in the United States you aren't going to be seriously hassled by the police if you discreetly drink or smoke. Or do you really need the freedom of African drug dealers on every street corner being inconspicuous as hell?
And what kind of trouble have you ever gotten into for sexual encounters in the U.S.? Are you a pedophile who needs to hide behind Germany's privacy laws and lax punishment for sex offenders? Are you someone who needs the 50Euro brothels all over the place? Are you just some creep who can't help but jerk off in public? If you've got even a shred of civility in you then there's absolutely no legal problems you'll face for sexual stuff in the U.S.
Germans less litigious? Give me a freaking break. Germany has by far the highest rate of lawsuits per capita in the entire world - like 75% higher than the U.S. Everyone in Germany has Rechtschutz so they can sue people for 25euro disputes because they're petty as hell.
Oh, and you can only get health insurance in Germany for 80 euros if you're a student, a very young adult or are living on welfare.
You're clearly just some bent out of shape german who can't deal with people who see through Germany's poop image.
It's obvious you have not lived in the south. People get pulled over by cops and arrested for having a bit of weed in a car. Cops here are much more unprofessional and aggressive.
I had enough money to afford an escort once in a while in Berlin. Here in U.S., it's illegal and cops do look for johns and publicly shame them.
You have not driven on Florida highways and seen all the ads for lawyers. You are an idiot to say that Germany is as litigious as a country where people sue corporations for not specifying HOT on drink cups.
Just because I don't agree with insurance costs and oppressive outdated law enforcement, does not make me irresponsible.
I'm an American. I left Germany because of family and better career opportunities.
I got a masters in Germany for a fraction of a cost.
I hate Berlin just as much as bitter judgemental idiots like you.
1. Considering America has stricter laws on when cops can search your car you are an absolute idiot for doing something stupid enough to get it searched while you are transporting illegal drugs.
2. Congratulations, you can't even land a loose German german without paying for it. Are the tens of thousands of "massage studios" all over the U.S. not enough to scratch your depraved itch?
3. I'm sick of this stupid McDonalds lawsuit argument from idiots who have never actually read about the lawsuit's key facts like that the woman initially tried only to recoup of medical bills for third-degree burns caused by McDonalds routinely serving coffee at much higher temperatures than is standard or common. Guess the german globalists have convinced you to feel sorry for corporations.
4. Germany is objectively the most litigious country on earth. The facts are unambiguous.
5. Have fun with your box-top mail-in German master's degree.
No, I LOVE Berlin! Everything about the place is amazing, I don't understand all you disillusioned bastards go kill yourself lmao
Berlin has lived since the late 1990s mainly from advertising. This City is actually just a product. Advertising attracts to something that looks tempting but inside it's rotten!
The startup scene is a total joke. No one cares about hiring top talent or anyone with experience. The companies look for people from the EUSSR countries who think 1200K per month (before taxes) is a fortune.
Don't forget to check poop-art on your Berlin flachspüler toilet.
That moment when you end up in a techno club with Berlin hipsters and while grabbin’ some beers before, you realise that there’s nothing to conversate with... No culture, no knowledge. Most effort is putting into dressing and acting the same.
Then you reach the club, getting into the vibe and they start popping drugs because..?
One of the saddest moments of my life to see these empty people.
I would dare even say “Dumb” and “Losers”, if I may...
Above. That’s totally true, but it’s not about not talking about serious topics. It’s about light topics, small talk, sarcasm... all those little things that make light conversation pleasant. Some people here are unable to have it or.. they take it to serious and the whole activism starts. It’s tiring...
That’s why they loose themselves into drugs. It’s the only thing that somehow stimulates their brains...
These people are mentally redundant,,indeed due to their spiritual,emotional,and personality bankruptcy ,,the only relief is spending hours staring at a wall in some dingy club in Berlin,,they are beyond help,pointless to engage with,have zero to offer to you,themselves or anyone.Let them be.Refrain from believing there is anything human left in them,they are gone,save yourself and leave the club,the city ,the country!
What do you think of people who say hadouken?
When will the Civil War Begin in Berlin ?
Berlin can be summed up in three words AntiFa Fascist Losers.
They don't even realise that their puppeteer is George Soros.
So you like to get rattled and respond to NOTHING?! Please throw some more death threats and execution fantasies out there so we have a reminder for what a quality discussion is and how a conversation is started. Maybe we can one day reach the heights of your eloquence and thought provocation ... until then, you go girl, tell em how it is!
Hellooooo, anybody home, it's Lefty fascists who beat up peaceful marchers, burn people's cars and talk like the dumb sheep they are. I've never thrown out death threats, that's from your side of the tracks. You're the dumb as phuck moron who responded to me first, so you go girl or should I say, HO GIRL.
The worst are the East Germans! I wish them a new wall!!!
East Germans are the last hope in this rotten country since West Gernany submits to its dictators which flood the country with the scum of the earth (Muslims, rapefugees...), while East Germans show at least a bit of resistance. If there should ever be a wall again, you'll find me on the East side.
You definitely belong with these guys you piece of turd

We've narrowed it down to one lonely incel. You can see him in the picture of the mooning resistance fighters, one of the butts is actually his face.
You can see him here, youtube.com/watch
Proud for involuntarily not getting laid? Proud of being able to do what every other man can do? Proud of being not being employed or in training? When did this pool of contradictions and weak loserdom coales into a cool thing? I think we should help him, he's clearly crying out for it, celebrating his self harm. Poor guy, he's managed to illustrate himself as so pathetic we need to look past his racism, hate for women, art, entertainment, hard work and academic achievement and give him what he really needs, a manly east German, like the ones posted earlier, to carry him away.
General Mills once said the Irish were to blame.
In Germany, everybody who dresses sexier than a potato is called 'gay' or 'wh*re' respectively.
