His conclusion was the same as mine. Germans have no empathy. Its true. Something is missing from these people.Some genetic flaw that makes them..well inhuman.
Please watch (or read.) Niklas Frank. "Dont trust us Germans" B.B.C. Hard Talk. He is right when he says Germany never drained the swamp.(of the Nazi era). He believes it would only take 5 years of economic hardship for Germany to find a new scapegoat to mass murder..which will be the refuges.Make no mistake.A German is never wrong.
I have never met so many stupid and annoying people in any other city before. This City should Go to hell.
fuckyall
I've finally figured it out. People here being unfriendly, passive aggressive, arrogant, inconsiderate and lacking empathy - these aren't the problem, they're just symptoms. The fact is, that unlike most parts of western society, somehow there is no concept in Germany of striving to be a better person. Even groups that elsewhere tend to foster that ideal (e.g. devout Christians, intellectuals) don't care here. To a German, the only thing that "improving yourself" can possibly mean is going to the gym more often, eating more low-fat quark, separating your trash before throwing it away and riding your bike to work for fitness (to pretend it's not because you are living in poverty and will never be able to afford a car). People here don't care about fixing their broken psyches, just the miserable vehicles in which they're transported about. And this is the reason Germany will never be relevant in the world.
Good point, I think this is a symptom of the pathological narcissism that is the norm in Germany. Why would they improve themselves? They are so awesome and perfect already. I would just brush it off but I work with people like that and this kind of attitude can get dangerous in a workplace. There are people who regularly cause trouble and they get super defensive when approached about it - can't reflect at all. Improving their skills and habits is not on the radar at all.
As I have stated in a previous post.Germany is just a bit of roadkill on the footpath of history. Turkey now dwarfs Germany in power and influence. I certainly dont like the current leader but in terms of power Turkey has Europe pandering to its every whim. Thats power.
Make no mistake.The Turks have long memory of being denied E.U. Membership whilst given the job of stopping the migrant flow from states bombed on behalf of N.A.T.O.And German arms manufactures .The chickens are coming home to roost. Enjoy the bitter fruits of your hubris.
Do you honestly think the E.U. will survive after England told you to fornicate off? "Dear mr Junker,Brixit isnt a divorce so the E.U. can forget alimony.". Do you think Turkey gives a flying fornicate to be part of the e.u? Npobody cares for this unelectected fraud anymore.Go suck Mr Junkers horrific cock.
Striving to be a better person would involve (here!) a lot of guilt and finding fault with oneself. That's why it's not done. You also can't really try that, although i guess in the beginning it needs a bit of that, but afterwards, if you try, you are not in touch with natural impulses to be expressed but instead with an image to live by.
You'll never have a random, positive interaction with a local in this city. It just doesn't happen, ever.
It kills me that you have to wait until all your groceries have been scanned before you can swipe your card in the supermarket.
When I left my home country for Berlin, I never thought that one of the main things I'd look forward to doing when visiting home would be visiting the f*cking SUPERMARKETS there.
But, my god, they're an absolute paradise compared to every single dirty, squalid, nasty hole of an Aldi, Lidl, Netto, Rewe, Reichelt, Edeka etc. in this dump. Zero quality, extremely narrow choice that largely consists of revolting Abendbrot fodder, hard bread, tasteless fruit & veg, inedible meat, sour-faced clientele with zero manners or situational awareness, and a grand total of two checkouts (if you're lucky) staffed by downtrodden drones (not actively hostile, if you're even luckier) who scan everything through at the speed of light while you panic and flail.
Dear avid BH readers,
Churchhill once said that the germans (then referred to as the hun) were either at your throat or at your feet. Please help me understand how this rather apt generalisation plays out in Berlin?
Easy. If you are a figure of authority, they will treat you with respect. If you are a foreigner or non-white, you are inferior and are meant to obbey them. This explains the behaviour patterns people here complain about. If you were a foreigner with a lot of prestige or fame, Germans would treat you differently.
Well, even as a white european girl from a priviledged background I was treated like poop by my in-laws, go figure! I can and never will be one of them and why would you want to? They have issues up to the roof. They iced me but Its the ice-age for them. Ciao! to those cold tyrants.
Kiss my PO Berlin!
I have attended a job interview yesterday. The company was a start up and it was the worst job interview ever.
The person who was conducting the interview has failed to provide clear job specifications. Beyond this point, during the interview there were too many inconsistencies and uncertainties. After Brexit decision, you know media pampers that Berlin will be the new capital of start ups. I have also talked to couple of friends and heard the similar experiences regarding start ups. I can understand, start ups can have some minor problems but it seems they are looking for people who basically give all and demand minimum salary. I find this perception bullshit.
Berlin could only be the capital of failure !
The hype around Berlin startups has been going on for a long time, before Brexit. The real startup city in mainland Europe is Amsterdam. There are more stable companies there, better salaries, etc. Behind Amsterdam is maybe Paris if you speak French well, then Berlin and Barcelona. The rest is hit an miss. If you're looking for a more stable developer job within Germany, not at a risky startup, Munich is supposedly a better city for that.
Yeah, the German media likes to pat itself on the back and describe how Berlin is courting startups from London but no one with any awareness of the world believes this. If they want English skills or highly educated people (not just with degrees from diploma mills) then they'll go to Amsterdam as stated above. If they want hard workers, they will go to France or Eastern Europe. If they want to fail they will come to Berlin.
Some crowd of third-wave feminists hissed and booed at Goddess Trump today in Berlin. At least she doesn't have to fear having acid thrown in her face by walking around her hometown.
you are so brainwashed. She was booed not for her beauty greatly enhanced with plastic surgery, and ugly made in china floral dress. She was booed because she is a liar and a hypocrite just like her daddy. Go away alt right brainwashed Trump worshippers. You are too stupid for this site.
Germans have good sense of humour. They just don't know it cause they are serious with it.
Berliner Neo-Luddites win again. Kreuzberg can remain a place of drunken reflection, abject poverty and laughing at ones own genitals.

The German tendency to say "ach, echt?!" in a sarcastic manner whenever you point out at something that may or may not seem obvious to them.
Basically, being passive-aggressive, which is "fine" if done by women, but downright annoying if a male does it.
You know what's hilarious? People like to turn you into a snail! when they want you to work faster. It's a saying that means to make somebody small, or critisize somebody harshly but they don't get the actual meaning of a snail lol. I'm not saying they actually want you to work faster though :) which doesn't though contradict with them not getting the meaning of a snail... And at the same time they might actually want you to work faster. Like a fail on both levels. It is unclear where their consciousness is and chances are it's in between somewhere who knows. And surely it isn't just funny, while funny being also something serious by showing absurdities as a side effect. It is also serious cause it is a human being and it is pretty sad to deal with such impossible people. When you laugh hatefully it kind of goes against something within you unless it is just innocent laughing cause something is funny especially without it having another intention -yet you can't try that anyway which is good - But at the same time it is good to express just how you feel, that's always the mystery. Anger expressed leads to sense of humour but hate is a bit different, yet it is normal to hate something cause often it relates to what we love. I mention this also cause people like to enable you taking a ridiculing position so they can again vent on you which means you actually didn't intend to ridicule and don't have to doubt when you laugh.
