Every day, I am harassed. Touched, groped, shouted at and aggressively stared at/watched. Yes, I am female, yes I am white. So what? I am a decent, peace loving human being. All I want is respect in all of its forms, not just in terms of being harassed. When I have tried to explain this to the Leftists in the workplace, I am victim blamed for looking too "bourgeois". That means, I have a wash daily, brush my hair (at least) and dress well. I am not hurting anyone. I just care about myself in many ways. Can anyone identify with this and shed some light, or am I just a whining, bleating "bourgeois" who gets what she deserves?
As a man, the only assault I get daily is on my nostrils-why cantthese people grasp the concept of deo! But I'm a single white male, so unfortunately my opinion is irrelevant in this city! You're doing the right thing in thing in the wrong place is all I can say!
Yes, you're right! I refuse to be beaten down by the people here. I have no idea why, but the worst offenders are so-called Leftists. Very angry, aggressive, often middle class individuals who think they can openly criticise and humiliate you in public. God forbid you would answer back.
I found them so frustrating - especially when I lived in "kreuzkölln" in the middle of them! Hypocritical, judgemental, demanding tolerance, individualism, equality and so forth, while being some of the most hive-minded and least tolerant people I've ever met!
Truer words were never spoken. Berlin is full of Leftist filth, with their pseudo anarchist show. They dress aggressive, look aggressive, talk aggressive and act aggressive. They pretend to be alternative, but follow each other like sheep to the tattoo and piercing parlours, where other Lefty no-hopers scar them for life. I've never me a bigger bunch of narrow-minded, fascist morons in my life.
Even Die Welt media are reporting on the Fascist-Left-thugs. www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/08/head-major-german-paper-denounces-left-wing-fascism-g20-summit/
"Fascism" isn't left and it isn't breaking store windows and rioting with police. The right constantly tries to redefine terms so their idiot base remains ignorant as hell and impossible to communicate with. There is a small group that aligns "left" but have a very different idea of what is okay and works during protests. They tend to be younger guys and crusties (though not all). Their actions also attract various people who just want to be part of the action and may not really align left at all. The vast majority of protesters are not involved in these incidents but the media focuses on them and loops them, particularly right media, giving the impression every protester is involved and that they are happening non-stop all day.
You are really peddling propaganda. Look no further than the G20 protests, or if you must, to the protests at Berkley. The people destroying smal businesses and cracking open heads are very much leftists. And the "punch-a-nazi" drones who cheer on violent crimes are also leftists. The left is full of unsavory people. And the media does its best to downplay everything they do. Look at official police statistics in any German city - a small number of leftists are responsible for a larger number of crimes.
Berlin was better in the GDR-times. Now it's a hipster paradise. Almost everybody have tattoos and are info art and bullshit. All the Muslims also make Berlin a very unpleasant and unsafe place. Their disgusting culture has ruined this city forever. Burkas and Döner kebab everywhere. The gay culture is also too much. I have nothing against gays, but when they arrange gay parades, events for gays, gay clubs etc it just gets too stupid. Berlin is also a big mental hospital. To see someone in the streets talking to themselves is not uncommon. Also agree with the other poster about traffic and bikers. Very aggressive and the bikers think they own the streets. If there is a small disagreement, the bikers won't hesitate to yell at you and show their fuckfingers. I hate Berlin from the bottom of my heart! This ugly, filthy city can only be good if it is removed from the map with an atomic bomb and a new city to be built on the ruins.
Don't see too many burkas to be fair. But doner, I feel so guilty after eating that.
Wild animals belong in Africa and not in Europe. Can you mention one example where you have a large Muslim population in a western city and it doesn't end with turmoil, conflicts, civil unrest and a spike in crime? There is now "sharia police" in some parts of Berlin. You stupid left people will soon see the results of mass migration from Muslim countries. Terror attacks, rapes, sharia and misery is the future of Berlin and many other western cities. All thanks to naive leftist morons.
yes but the politicians from Grun/Linke/SPD who run Berlin will live in private luxury with guards...so who cares what the proles think. Gullible Germans in for a lesson in biological reality..most middle Eastern countries are not viable due to lack of water and heat, so they come to Germany for thier "new country" which has #1 most important ingredient....WATER and COOL WEATHER....
Racism/ antisemitism/ homophobia/ please it's not what this forum is about . Please
Go back to your safe space. Germany has criminalised free speech , what more do you want, to also police the internet? a large reason why people hate Berlin is because of the racism & xenophobia which exists there, but of course you will turn a blind eye to that
Cut this vile right wing poop and get back to hating Berlin.
Watching the protesters at the g20, I can't help but think of parallels with kristalnacht. A bunch of loonies convinced it's right to destroy other civilians property because they're "responsible" for the problems in society. Scary
If you Google Jewish boycott of German Goods, you will see it was put in place before Kristallnacht. Who knows what is true, the owners of MSM just feed us what they want us to believe. Here's the Wiki entry about it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_boycott_of_Jewish_businesses
Don't get me wrong...I have lived and hated Berlin and would not move back because it's not "cheap" anymore, it's actually pretty expensive BUT having just spent time (unfortunately) in Bulgaria and being in Berlin for 1 day I can say it's the 2nd worst city I have ever been to. Sofia in Bulgaria is the worst !! But Berlin is the western version: nothing works , it's filthy and not as cheap as it pretends, however if you are stuck in Berlin and want to feel better, go visit Bulgaria and come back to Berlin, it will be a temporary high, because Berlin also has ALOT of problems but it's only second worst compared to that hellhole Bulgaria
You've said this before, but in my experience, Bulgarians I've met outside of Bulgaria, are some of the nicest people I've ever met, in fact they inspired me to want to go there, which I will do soon, because your criticisms are making w=me want to see this strange anomaly for myself.
I hate Berlin for a number of reasons, but the main reasons are these:
1.
The people! Fu**cking leftists, artists and people with strange clothes.
2.
The traffic and driving a car in Berlin. The Berliners can't drive and the traffic is pretty bad. Especially the bikers who are super aggressive and think they own the streets. Also too many Muslims and niggers.
3.
It's a truly ugly and filthy city!
4.
Too many tourists.
Berlin simply sucks!
It's not fist driving! Fishing license? Answer a thousand questions about fish - no need to have ever held a rod! Coastal speed boat license? Done in the spree at speeds never exceeding those of a 5hp engine! Want to be a hairdresser? Must have a license, estate agent, must have a license, develop financial software for major companies - no license required- it's all very odd here!
To the jerk-off who called the original poster a horrible little cunnt, let me ask you this, how do you think Muslims or Africans would like white Germans coming to their countries and start selling drugs to their young people on street corners, you stupid fuucking moron, they would have their heads chopped off in an instant, you are so stupid, I can only guess you are a moronic Berlin-Lefty, you're the one who is a horrible little cunnt, and I hope you get brain damage from smoking the weed they sell and salmonella laced cheap "meat" in their doners.
By the way, if you have any gay friends, they would be executed, your mother and girlfriend would be told what to wear in public, no more bikinis for them. so just thank yourself lucky that you live in the free Christian West you stupid fuucking numbskull. Your little sister would have her female genitalia mutilated by now. Wake up to yourself.
You self-righteous poseur, STFU.
Man.. just because I called someone out for saying there are "too many niggers" in Berlin, certainly doesn't mean I'm a "moronic Berlin Lefty". I hate this City for many reasons, the open drug dealing, reactionary Antifascist politics and godawful food included in this. Of course, I am totally aware of the world outside Berlin and am very glad I don't live in a country that persecutes homosexuality, women or petty drug crime, despite the place still being a grey, depressing and downright filthy hovel. Do you not understand though that it is possible to be black/brown/whatever and actually come from a country that doesn't persecute people in the way you have described? Jesus christ. This new breed of right-wing trolls are almost as sensitive, reactionary and blinded by their ideology as the "self righteous poseurs" of the other side.
As said to your mate, seek help you horrible little cunt.

Oh, so everyone who doesn't go along with your LEFT narrative is a right-wing troll :o)))) Typical of a hypocritical-horrible-little-fascist cunnt. You are a lefty through and through, and rightly you should be ashamed and try to hide it :o))) How much is the Nazi sympathiser George Soros paying you to troll here?
Mate... you are genuinely insane. "My left narrative" - how the hell did you get that from my 2 posts? If calling someone out for claiming their are "too many niggers" in a city is fascist leftism then call me Karl Marx.
Not everyone who doesn't agree with me is a right-wing troll, no but those who are right wing trolls are right wing trolls. Funny also that you should mention that, it seems you have a habit of calling everyone who doesn't agree with you a left wing fascist. Do you not see the inconsistencies in your argument`?
Sadly, Mr Soros is not paying enough at the moment, meaning I still have to continue working in poorly organized and inevitably failing Berlin tech companies for an absolute pittance. One day I hope I will be recognised by the Nazi sympathiser for the great work I do thus funding a beautiful exit from this soulless hellhole.
Seek help you horrible little cunt.

"Also too many Muslims and niggers."
Hey P,
Berlin is goofed-up because of honky scumbags like you--actually, they sorta make up the majority. Disgusting stinking german motherfuckers who blow Hitler in their wet dreams. We need ovens for your kind you sack of shite.
Muslims and African Americans belong in their filthy chaotic countries where they can fight with each other because of their stupid 1400 year old book. We don't need this disgusting culture and behaviour of theirs in Europe! Influx of these parasites only happens because of leftist scum! One day, the result of naive, leftist politicians will be civil war and economic collapse in Europe and Berlin is one of the first cities to face turmoil and hell on earth.
I guess it should be slightly more bearable here this weekend with so many morons going to Hamburg!
Does anyone here know of any person who flourished in Berlin? Like they were happy, had a good job and/or found a good relationship etc? I feel like everyone in Berlin is just coasting and going deeper into a downward spiral. Does anyone find true happiness in Berlin ever or does it just make everyone miserable and the worst version of themselves they can be?
Plenty of people pretend to have flourished here, because they feel so ashamed of failing in a sea of LeftTurds, they just can't work it out how they could be so successful everywhere else, but fail in a city, that is stuck in the 80's, ah ha, there's a clue for you.
Leave Berlin to the anarchists, LeftTurds and Feminists, to fend for themselves, they wouldn't last a week without handouts from real people's taxes.
Who do they think would employ them with their faces covered with tattoos and punctured with stupid metal studs and ridiculous huge lobe-rings and any other gimmick they think will draw attention to to their attention seeking lives. Sad thing is they continually recruit new impressionable kids arriving in Berlin.
I have known a lot of foreigners in Germany from different backgrounds. The students are passing through, but many of the ones from East Europe I knew decided to stay. They're all working more-or-less insignificant jobs, like most jobs in Berlin, that nonetheless pay better than they would in Poland, Romania, Hungary and Ukraine. I can kind of understand these people because those places are economic nightmares.
But I have also met a lot of older people who had at some point earlier in their lives had semi-successful careers. I once interviewed a 40+ former radio host from Chicago for a customer service job at a Berlin "start-up". It was depressing for me, a 22 year old at the time. Later I met people who came here from Silicon Valley to work at information engineers at "start-ups" only to grow frustrated at either quit emotionally after a year or two or, the stronger ones, head back home after a few months.
I have only really met one person here who really seemed to love the city. He has a kind of naivety in him that reminds me of children under 10. I've gone out with him a few times and have witnessed random people in the city treating him very badly, I'm guessing because of his strong accent and positive aura. But he still acts like Berlin is the greatest city ever and to say otherwise would be sacrilege. Despite having a good degree from a decent school in America, he has remained stuck in receptionist jobs the entire time I've known him.
I'm from Romania, I had a relative ok paid job (for Berlin) in a design studio but I really didn't see any progress for myself year after year (socially as well). Then my doctor suggested after I asked him for antidepressants, that it's time for me to leave the city asap, and that I wasn't the only one in this situation.
hamburg or munich ? need to move out of berlin and thinking of these two possible options.
I have been told Leipzig is a great place. This is from a friend who lived there for two years, moved to Berlin to work with us. After two months, she is struggling, but she knows where I live and at least we have each other for support.
Work like a robot - no fun aloud, no creativity, afterwards enjoy the so called brainless" feierabend", the time of the day dedicated to some feel good moments drowned in beer.
I moved away about a year ago. In that year I think 1 person has been rude to me - in Berlin it felt like almost everday. Even physical aggression. A mad person on the street grabbed me in a neck-lock. A guy pushed me with my bike onto a table in Simon-Dach-Strasse on a v busy night. A woman screamed at me in Neukölln because I did not give her money and started talking crazy shit. Another fat lout drinking beer shouted at me from a Späti for no good reason.
I had a crazy guy violently shout at me tonight as I alighted from a tram. I just nonchalantly strolled past him as if he didn't exist. He soon stopped screaming. He was just trying to provoke a response. If you treat them like they don't exist, it confuses their alcohol-addled "brains", and makes them question their own existence, that's enough to slow anyone down.
Having left 1 year ago I returned for a visit of 9 days and actually had a great time. However, today I had to call the Finanzamt and the humourlessness and unremitting unfriendliness of people at the tax office served as a reminder of the negative things about Berlin.
that happened to me on occasion too... I would be slogging through my week or month or year with hate and rudeness on all sides and then one day a lady at a ticket counter or a bus driver would smile, maybe joke with me and maybe even ask how I was and I would be like... hmmm, maybe there is a ray of sunshine here, maybe I am not the crazy one... it would lift my spirits and make me reassess my views of Berlin but inevitably the sun would fade and the depression return... it is a tease, a sad joke perpetrated by the locals I think... they must get cards like jury duty summons... something along the lines of.. "it is your civic duty to be nice and even friendly to a foreigner this week in order to keep them here spending their money and let them think that we want them here."
Don't fall for the lie
