What about the ridiculous cult that puts those huge earrings in their lobes, what the F is that about, I'm sure it's a symptom of a bigger mental imbalance. So many weirdos in Berlin and that's fine, but when they complain they are discriminated against because of the way they appear, duh, yeah.
I saw a guy pissing in the street last night, with no concern of children passing by that area, he looked like one of the people flooding in from a third world country where that is probably the normal behaviour.
Black africans openly selling drugs on the street, making the police look like Keystone Kops, they just laugh in their face. It's a joke.
The stupid building design of apartments, that are like having a huge bass drum over your bed.
They tax you 19% on everything you buy, so if people are spending all their money every week, they are in effect being taxed 19%, before they pay income tax. Then on top of that, huge insurance fees.
I think there must be signs up in tourist offices around the word, that say "Berlin Welcomes Al Sociopaths".
Haven't they realized hat drugs are so yesterday, so passe. And the amount of people who can't even go from one station on the smelly U-Bahn to another station without a beer in their hands. And I'm not talking about the constant stream of homeless alcoholics who smell the carriages out, when they come around with their filthy begging paper cups.
The extreme multi-culturalism is very stressful, as it would be for anyone from third world countries if huge numbers of white Europeans started filling up their neighbourhoods with totally different customs to what they are used to. I don't give a rats butt what race someone is, but for god's sake, leave your customs where you d=came from and respect the local culture of their hosts, in other words, be quiet in public, stop shouting at each other and disturbing the peace on U-Bahns where people are trapped with your anti-social behaviour. .
And of course, they couldn't even get the airport right within 6 years of opening target :o))))))
Don't get me started on that boring sheethole, Berghain, what a pathetic joke.
"" LilyWhitePride" - alt-right what a joke. Go back to praying to a meme frog (FYI. The alt-right actually do believe in Kek a meme frog that supposedly is an Egyptian deity)."
The alt-right is indeed a joke. They believe Trump to be some sort of superhuman that will save Western civilization. This, regardless of the fact that the guy is just another millionaire narcissist who only cares about himself.
Oh yes, they do worship a stupid frog (kek). Most alt-righters are laughable.
Most groups become laughable when they are portrayed as xenophobic, racist, uneducated ne'er-do-wells by the overwhelmingly liberal media (which, coincidentally, I don't consider a conspiracy - there are plenty of studies that show that people who get degrees in journalism are more likely to be liberal). The thing is, depending on the poll you look at, upwards of 65% of white males voted for Trump. If you occasionally leave that ivory tower you've so carefully erected, you'll see that, aside from the jokesters on reddit and 4chan, there are plenty of people who are intelligent and support Trump.
One recurring claim I see is that he has made a platform on helping the poor and middle classes, but that he won't follow through now that he is president and that things for them will be even worse. I honestly don't see how things could get worse. Income inequality is at almost the highest point now that it has been in 30 years (data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.GINI). Trump at least recognizes that the equity market is a powder keg right now that literally only benefits the rich. Economists are all predicting an upswing in the economy in the US. When the interest rate invariably is increased to something decent, stock prices will fall and this ponzi scheme for the rich will at least die down a little. Of course I can't say for certain, but a Clinton win probably would not have had this result.
But of course we can harp on him for his xenophobia, racism and mocking of the fat and disabled. Unless you're capable of researching the topics and forming a nuanced opinion. At, for comparison's sake, at least he isn't on a platform for severely crippling religious freedom in the United States by banning face scarves. And at least his party isn't on record saying that, even at home, immigrants in America should be forced to speak English. And, last time I checked, his party doesn't support legislation that blacklists people from employment based on their religious beliefs. Boy, a country that did that would REALLY be xenophobic and intolerant.
No, you all are literally laughable. This literally comes from an alt-right / neo-nazi website, the Daily Stormer (i.e. one of the alt-right sources):
"Kek is the apotheosis of Pepe, who at some point in the future will travel back in time to become an Egyptian god of trolling. I am not going to elaborate much on it here, as the subject is too complex and esoteric, but the Alt-Right is in the process of forming an actual religious doctrine around the god Kek, who is believed to be the spiritual root of meme magick."
What you are doing is hazardous to the public. Not only are you spreading Trade Secrets™ but you're basically inviting the uninitiated to try out the most dangerous thing on the face of this earth. I recommend you message admin and ask him to delete your post.
The biggest problem is that Berlin's young people have been indocrinated into George Soros's Ultra alt-Left. They are like little robots running around saying all the "right" things, read; "left" things.
Berliners seem to think that because a woman has sexual act with another woman or a man likes to insert his male genitalia into another man's poop-hole, this in some way makes them special or superior or better than straight people. I spoke to a young student couple recently who were wearing No White Pride t-shirts and I said, "What's wrong with being proud of yourself if your white, and they replied "there's nothing wrong with being white, but you shouldn't be proud of it" I replied "so, do you support gay pride". That shut them up for about 5 seconds before they came back with a hate-filled retort about white heterosexuals. Left wing extremists in Berlin are the moronic dregs of the earth.
That's rich from an alt-Left robot, parroting what you were taught in leftist Soros controlled universities. It wouldn't surprise me if you attend Women's Studies courses. Good luck in the real world. It's PC people like you who have totally f'd up Berlin. Alt-Lefists are even worse morons than Alt-Right.

Remember that time a bunch of people chased down and accused a random Pakistani of committing a terrorist attack just because he was dark-skinned?
I hear you brother. I have similar stories, I too was detained and questioned at the airport for more than 4 hours. My crime? the color of my skin. Funny thing is I'm not even middle eastern, I'm latino, you'd think they know better because my flight came from the Atlantic but nope. The first time this happened was in 2012 so nothing has really changed and nothing will really change in Germany. Recent attacks have just made everything worse. This has motivated me to move, I am making ok money here but the environment has gotten from bad to extremely toxic. I just accepted that the time I spent learning German was a waste of time and I will move back to America, I'm also a foreigner there but that's ok. Besides, in Berlin there are fewer jobs, less money and quality of life is decaying, same as in all Germany, France and other countries considered "nice". I won't miss Europe.
I am in the same boat as you. Latino, dark-skinned. Fairly qualified and fluent in several languages, one of which being German. I have decided to go back to my country. I don't understand why people want to live in Germany. The country is rich, but people live like they were poor. And losing half of my salary to taxes is not something I am excited about. No thanks.
This city sucks. But, some of the people on here are not better. You spew hate and judgement at others. You are not better than the berliners maybe you belong here. Learn from MLK and fight against hate and anger within you.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase
He is certainly angry and he lost any credibility he might have accumulated when he stated that he was protesting against the NPD in the 1980's before the millennials, who have been calling AfD supporters nazis, had even been "produced as sperm".
The guy in the video is the result of universal access to budget(!) higher education in Germany: simple minds of maladjusted people who have inflated egos; attempts to compensate for weaknesses with verbosity; fragile appeals to authority (no one cares that he is almost 60). Maybe if his generation had spent a fraction of the effort it put into misogyny, racism and alcoholism into making the world a decent place then he wouldn't be so unhappy now. For the first time in history Germany is actually doing something for the good of people who weren't born here. It's high time.
Sure, Germany is running the biggest and best-funded propaganda machine in the history of the world (Rundfunkbeitrag) but showing off by proudly stating your get your information from Russian websites is playing directly into the hands of a state-run media that desperately needs to exert its relevance in times of criticism for paying ex-soccer losers horrendous sums of tax-payer money for providing "expert" commentary. The media absolutely is not providing the AfD with fair, neutral coverage but German journalism has never been known for neutrality. And I'm not even sure that is desirable in a country that, despite being only 25% the size of the United States and having a smaller foreign-born population (careful, Germans tout that Migrationshintergrund statistic, which includes second gens as well), has --IN ABSOLUTE TERMS-- a much higher occurrence of hate crimes.
freaking 'Gutmenschen' like the third above me make me sick: ,For the first time in history Germany is actually doing something for the good of people who weren't born here. It's high time.'
Are you out of your mind? Where are you originally from?

I'm not a Hans or Greta.
Venting especially using humor is helpful. Many people on here seem to just let this city and the locals get to close to their heart. Use your anger to make positive changes in your personal life little by little. Don't let the disappointment of this city suck your time and energy. I wasted so much time complaining everyday about Berlin. This city almost literally killed me. I will not give these bastards the pleasure of watching me suffering and conforming to their way of life. Many of them love schadenfreude because they are weak and unenlightened. Read quotes from Marcus Aurelius when you need some stoic boost to deal with harsh environment and people.
The majority of German society are suffering from obsessive compulsive.
They have no logic but rules. Even very minor things could be problem when you do not obey the rules. I have never understood why jaywalking such a problem is. I know the bad example for children argument but come on, when the road is safe, why would i wait for 5 minutes to across the road ?
The learn how to be obsessive compulsive since their childhood.
Frederick, is that you? Are you pretending we're stupid enough to follow your logic, i.e. the person who wrote that is intolerant because he mentions homosexuality? Did you miss the part where he said "their kids will be 14...", i.e. the premature sexualization of youth? And what do you mean by Europe? It's obvious you're grasping at straws to celebrate Europe's acceptance of alternative lifestyles, but do you really mean the European Union? Or do you mean Western Europe? Or do you mean the Left in Europe? Because buddy, Europe is pretty big and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people in Russia, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria who don't in the least support your garbage.
And since when is living in Europe a privilege? Drudging through piss-soaked train stations daily, having a 1940's standard of living, not seeing the sun for 9 months out of the year, having to deal with the racist locals, residing in an apartment the size of a shoe box, being 40+ and having roommates, pretending you ride your bike to work because you're hip and urban but really doing it because you can't afford a car. The most widely circulated newspaper here is Bild ffs. Living here is appealing to people from third-world countries, but not to anyone else.
Horrible as it can be here, the news still sucks today.
I've lived in several countries throughout my life, yet I have never encountered people as harsh, cold, rude and tactless as the Germans. If you're a foreigner from Scandinavia or the USA/Canada (the only countries they seem to respect) you will be treated in a fair way. God forbid, however, that your skin has the wrong hue or that your country of origin has an image tarnished by biased media reports. The first thing a German will ask you soon after you disclose your nationality is something related to stereotypes related to your country, and I don't mean the "positive" stereotypes.
Can you imagine meeting a German for the first time at a party or at any social gathering and asking him if he's killed his daily dose of Jews, or has started a war (to lose it afterwards) already? Well, that's what Germans seem to enjoy doing with foreigners. It's like they are so frustrated and miserable inside that the only way they can have is making fun of other people in a cruel way. If you're Syrian you're automatically a refugee and a criminal, if you're Turkish you're automatically a primitive person with no manners or education. The list goes on.
What I dislike the most is the fact that even those who call themselves "links" (leftist/greens) are the most common culprits of such a distasteful behaviour. They probably think that buying fair-trade coffee and donating 10 years every year to some organization in Africa (they think Africa is a country where only poor people live) gives them the right to poke fun at foreigners.
They will truly never get over their Nazi past.
Great longform read right here: www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/15/neo-nazi-murders-revealing-germanys-darkest-secrets
In short, it's pretty acceptable to harbor nazi views, especially the one about superiority towards other nations. Doesn't matter if you're just a regular citizen or if you're a decorated police officer. It's just the way it is, no one cares, so if you're a foreigner, be prepared to be looked down upon.
Oh, also, this applies to Americans as well. Germans fear and are jealous of Americans, but there is no respect. As soon as a German figures out you're american, it's all about "trump, why arent you fat, are you gonna shoot me with a gun, your health care system is soooo bad, trump, do you really only eat hamburgers, trump".
It's true. The anti-Americanism here is really obvious everywhere.But I feel like over the past 8 years it has shifted from phony altruistic, pseudo-political cynicism against American foreign policy to superficial and laughably short-sighted insults. I'm really not sensitive about this at all anymore, just bored with listening to criticism of America crafted with the sole purpose of helping the speaker deal with his own insecurities.
I understand the frustration with the US as a whole. They have too much power over the world, both by force and soft power (media, entertainment, multinational chains and products). It's just ignorant as fornicate to treat someone from America like poop just because of where they are from. If they live up to the worst stereotypes, sure, but odds are they won't. The worst type of American likely to move to Berlin are social media addict rich hipsters who just want to score cool points by living there and only want to associate with who they think are the coolest, but there are those types from other countries as well, including Germany (and they also move to cool US cities to do the same). Not just an American thing. The Americans who vote in people like Trump are likely never going to move to Berlin, very few can likely afford to move there. Much of the US also doesn't like the US' foreign policy, but the US isn't a direct democracy. A lot of crap goes on that the population can't control and all sorts of propaganda is used to confuse and divide Americans so they're not able to unite against those things. Also, it's worth noting the US is quite influenced by Germans and German culture. The largest common ethnic background is German in the US and German was once the second most spoken language in the US until WWII, that's also when Americans with German ancestry began to disassociate from it and why you no longer see "German American" used like "Italian American", "Irish American", etc.
Its not easy to be happy here except you are drunk or on drugs, it is just a soulless and pointless city.
Information survey: What's the most surprising place you've seen dudes in Berlin pissing? Here are a few of mine:
- Into the Christmas trees lined up next to the entrance of the Christmas market at the Alexa shopping center
- Into a concrete bench behind the entrance to U-Bahnhof Alexanderplatz in broad daylight
- Into the window of Galeria Kaufhof at Alexanderplatz in the evening while there were hundreds of people all around
- Into the corner next to the stairs leading out of U-Bahnhof Alexanderplatz in the middle of the day
- Right off of the Oberbaumbrücke bridge in broad daylight (this bridge has been completely taken over by homeless 20-somethings who are incapable of growing up)
At the entrance to the goverment building just north of alexander platz. It's like7:30am, people are going in to work and there's a guy standingin the corner of the entrance and pissing. Nobody is reacting. I dont know if he worked there or was just passing by.
I think I win this one, I've got two. 1) At the s-bahn while it was approaching and stopping. Then he got on the same train he pissed on. 2)At a random street in Charlottenburg. But the guy just unzipped his pants pull his weiner out, pointed up and started pissing on himself. The guy wasn't crazy, just very high. Such is life in Berlin.
To be fair, this isn't limited only to German men. I have also seen women do this, just not as common. Once at the Tierpark station I saw a ~50 year old woman pulling up her pants after pissing next to the bikes there (basically directly in front of the entrance to the station, not in any way covered). Another time I saw some ~20 year old girl just pull down her pants and start pissing at a busy intersection (but of course it's okay, there was grass and probably some trees and bushes within 20 feet of her).
I hate the Airports, they suck!
The one in Gatow is pretty cool

I arrived in Berlin with the spirit of Peter Pan. And I left Berlin with the soul of Captain Hook.
Berlin is inhabited by people who think they're the teenage version of Peter Pan. Sadly, this version is far inferior to the child version. Instead of cuteness we get 'individuals' totally lacking in any skills who believe they're the shit. Tonnes of defeatist art and general fridge syndrome work.
Avoid like the plague.
You only need one scent to capture the fragrance of Berlin.

Pretentiousness upon pretentiousness.
"Tolaas’ SmellScape of Berlin was created between 2002 and 2004, and she mourns the smell of that city: “Back in 2002 Berlin smelled more interesting than today. It was more diverse then.”"
Ah, yes, I've seen graffiti that says the same thing, except more directly: "fuck yuppies", "tourists go home", "fuck tourists".
Ah, the warm welcome!
