The lefties in Berlin are the mindless ones, they are just like sheep, bleat, bleat, baa baa. I'll take Breitbart any day over their scumbag daily rags. When Afd gets elected, you can all blame the lefty sheep for it. The pendulum will swing and you will be forced to get a job or live down with your old buddies sleeping and begging in RosenthalerPlatz U8, where you belong, sitting there living day to day from handouts from real people who actually work for a living, giving a few cents because they feel pity for you. But you win't get a single cent from me.

What you people complain about is rather a German problem, not Berliner thing. I've been living in Germany for over 10 years and I've finally understood that they're a nation full of irony:

-Believe themselves to be superior, yet never won a war.
-Dislike Americans and Brits, yet consume American media and pretend to have a British accent when speaking English.
-Dislike the USA, but without the USA Germany wouldn't have recovered from WWII
-Obsessed with order and cleanliness, yet only shower a couple of times a week.
-Judge the USA for wars on foreign soil, yet they provide the guns (3rd biggest weapon manufacturer)
-Overpriced, overrated cars
-Believe themselves to be a superior race....yet they have the ugliest people I've seen across Europe.

If you had any feeling for the word modesty you would realize that your extensive homework (using dict.leo.org) returns miserable suggestions. Genügsam, Sittsam, Anstand: modesty they are not. The closest thing to the word modesty is prüde, which explains why these ice apes think exposes themselves to children is acceptable.

So yeah, that's the reason why foreigners are treated like shit. Because you have to prove you are a valuable human being.

My problem is always the why should I work extra hard at brown nosing to earn their respect just because they are German. I treat everyone equally with politeness and respect. If a German besserwisser responds with rudeness, smugness, and coldness because he is so honest about his standards, I have no incentive to be invovled with them beyond cold superficial interaction. It's the worst with German in laws. Thank goodness, they're living far away from me.

What, you too? I've heard this a couple of times back when I was still interacting with Germans. I could never get them to explain this to me without them going into a loop ("you have to earn respect because you have to earn respect"). Some ventured the "well, you are a guest here, you must show your good manners", to which I replied "as a host, you should be warm, welcoming, and happy to see me".

This will sound a bit extreme, but can we really not see why this country started two world wars? If everyone must "earn their respect", then all the other countries in the world start at 0 (or even negative if you're eastern european or turkish). Simply put - these people have a superiority complex built into their culture.

Not so long ago, I moved away from that place. Never again Berlin. I burnt all bridges and kept the important friends who themselves will leave Berlin soon.

There are countless small experiences which led me to see Berlin the way I do nowadays. None of them is particularly dramatic. However, now that I live in France, and having lived in England, Madrid and Munich before Berlin, I really see how its not just a bunch of idiots - no, it is a local culture.

Berlin is the capital of rejection. The capital of people saying "Nein" to a friendly hello, a possible conversation, a polite request at a store. But also they love to reject other people, trash talking wealthier people, foreigners, people who don't dress in grey and black, women who dress femininely, people who have something going for themselves. Their illness is called envy.

Add to that a more subtle form of greed. They tend to reject southern cultures and traditions due to their greed - how can you talk about preparing a good dish if all they think about is how cheap it could be? An example to finish this little therapeutic session here: "Hey, that guy forgot his cigarettes [in the Späti]." "Whatever, I won't get them or run after him" "Yeah he's an idiot if he doesn't get them". These situations made me feel cold inside. What the hell am I doing here, I kept thinking. They reject this stranger - purely out of the habit of rejecting other people. They also reject their bodies taking so many drugs and not taking care of their faces or looks in general.

I wish all Berliners good luck with their very difficult city. I hope that they - as a culture - can find some greater cause outside of themselves, something that connects people among each other (I don't mean mutual self-benefit). Maybe that's why Islam is so appealing to many young Berliners? Some sort of dignity/worthiness outside of themselves could help the greedy and envious in this city overcome their self-centered imprisonment. Rejecting ideas, other human beings and the world at large does not make you free.

When you speak German pretty decently, are white, and don't really stick out in any obvious way Berliners will accept you the only way they know how. They'll try their best to compensate for their inferiority complexes by goading you into some argument about what they hate about your home country. Real autism-grade statements. And then they'll follow up with "But hey, to me you're not a XXXX citizen anymore - you're German".

No, thanks.

Actually what is a waste is not the excess of water, that can be reheated or used for a different purpose, but to heat it.

Germans have a very hard time receiving and giving feedback. They even took the word "feedback" from the English language because German offers no equivalent...

In Berlin, it's a new concept, and they don't know a lot about communicating in a clear and friendly way in general. A Turkish PHD student once put it pertinently: "Whenever you give them feedback that they didn't think of, you can literally see the 404 error screen."

I am only guessing that in school they never even had one lesson on communication or communication exercises. It seems to take a lot of non-violent communication courses and psychotherapy to heave the average Berlin woman to the average level in this respect.

Yes, that moment where you look onto the runway underneath dark grey clouds. Then the old and used airport running beyond its capacity. And finally, once you're on public transport among the Berlin people, you hear bits and pieces of your passengers' conversations - showing so clearly and yet so unconsciously their hopelessness about their own life and envy about other people.

Now that the days are cold, I'd like to remember my flatmate, which used to get into my room and turn off the radiator while I was at work, "because energy is expensive and you are working". He forgot to say that we were paying half of the bills, that he were there all day on weekedays (he had a part time job on weekends) and that he had a thermostat on his room, so my room even with heating was way colder than his.

If only was my former flatmate...

OMG! The exact same thing happened to me as well. I had a full time job, and he was a student spending a lot of time at home. Every day he turned the heat completely off in my room, mentioning that we shouldn't waste energy on "ants". However we used to split equally the bills. ... After 4 cold months I left the WG, too bad the winter was almost over. While searching for a new flatmate, he turned the heat on in my room so that people experience a nice and warm room ...

Oh hell yeah - these are people that would gloat over how cheap they got their lunch for and then give you dirty looks if you paid too much. I still remember the cringe-worthy moments when the berliners at my place would shout over each other:
"I got my salad for 1.65!"
"Well, my rolls were on aktion because they are 2 days - a little stale but good, and only 1.40!"
"I bought a bag of frozen cabbage for 1.5 euro/kg - I can eat this for a week! Ha!"
"Me: Well, this kebab was 3.50, but its warm and good"

I should mention that that was at a tech company - these people were making 45-55k euros a year. I wouldnt call that poor. If they really were poor, hell, I would totally understand them being happy by striking a bargain. Making over 50k euros per year and eating boiled cabbage for a week to save 5-7 euros on food a week? What sort of hell have I fallen into?
