I bet a German would be more angry about someone throwing a battery in the Restmüll than about getting raped.
there's actually a decent grocery store in the basement of kardstadt hermannplatz.
Saw a Turkish Uber driver get out of his car and just take a piss right on the island between two lanes. I need to mention here that it's actually the first time I have ever seen a non-German doing that. Last week I went to a bar and two 20ish looking boys took a piss right in front of the bar I was at. Why are these retards raised like this? At least when I lived in NY people went somewhere secluded, here people just whip it out anywhere. Germans are disgusting.
Absolute jerk-off on Alex platform seat today, playing his shite rap-puke through his poud speaker instead of his headphones. I said "could you please use your headphones, it's very loud and not fair on people who don't like your music". He replied, I can play it until 11.00pm. I said, maybe you can, but it's very selfish to do say, how would you like it if someone liked Bavarian yodelling music and played it loud next to you instead of using headphones. He said, you're getting very aggressive, I replied, no you playing your music so loud so aggressive. A 100% BERLIN TOTAL LOSER. Then I get on the U8 and some guy stands looking at his phone and starts coughing without covering his mouth. Filthy alcoholics everywhere, crowded trains, I had to wait for the third train to get a carriage that looked slightly comfortable. There was a line of about 30-35 people waiting to get into the BVG office, with only 5 people serving, but nine places for employees. This city is phucked. Berlin is over. Disgusting mongrel in Just Music talking down to me because I wasn't up to speed on the advice he was giving me in a very rude way, I'll go back to Thomann, much cheaper as well. Police moving a busker on, who was playing very nice music from a keyboard. But don't stop drunken idiots who scream nonsense. I despise, loathe and hate this city. Also, it's now very expensive. I've noticed a 15-25% hike in prices in only 5 months.
Yep, just a typical day in Berlin. Everything is overcrowded and expensive and and full of jerks. Makes no sense considering the population here has increased only 5% since 1995, then then you remember Germans are obsessed with robotic efficiency so to them selling 150% tickets for capacity to somewhere makes sense. Germany probably actually scaled back on everything since 1995. Austerity for the productive and nannyism/protectionism for the dregs of society, that ought to be the new "Arm aber sexy". Totally not worth it, plus the whole darn city reeks of alcohol piss.
Simplistic answer is because more people living alone. More complicated answer is same as above but also some clandestine corporate/central bank fuckery going on here like in NYC where corporate landlords are artificially driving rent prices up by restricting the supply by simply letting them sit empty. Probably also a lot of dumb Green/SPD policy errors like rent caps and lifelong WBSes so eventually you're subsidizing Hans Peter idiot who got a government subsidized apartment when he was doing his unpaid internship at PwC and just kept it for 40 years even after he started earning 100k€.
Wtf is going on here man? Well i also say goodbye. Take care old berlin haters!
It's like being on the U8 with one mentally ill junkie screaming at everyone, but it is worth remembering that it is just one person. One very loud and obnoxious person. Like those troubled souls, he'll eventually die off and probably fairly quickly. In the meantime, best to just try your best to ignore it or use it to write up all the reasons you hate Berlin. (All the reasons that do not include schizophrenic shrieks about Soros or Pajeet or COVID conspiracies or whatever.)
Damnnn, why do Ahmeds even exist :'(((((
Almost a decent joke about the Arabs there, Sugartits. More of that and less repetitive rambling about Soros and Klaus Schwab etc., and maybe not everyone will dislike you. Because it is everyone--not one person, not an admin, just everyone on this site.
But I enjoy an even halfway decent joke about the stinking Arabs. Even from a paranoid schizo who stinks of Bockwurst and Senf like you.
Wake up Germans, this psychopath - Klaus Schwab - is out to enslave you, even more than you already are. As are his mentors Kissinger and Soros. If you are too young to know the background of Kissinger and Soros, you'd better do some research, because they are most powerful political influencers today. Start at Wikipedia and then go deeper. Caveat Emptor (buyer beware) do your research, the mainstream media won't do it for you. These people are megalomaniac/psychopaths. www.citizensjournal.net/the-world-as-seen-by-the-elites/
First of all, wake people up to what his real agenda is. Go to the website and read between the liines and the overall picture. See his connections to the WHO, Bank Of International Settlements, Gates, BigPharma etc etc etc. When enough people wake up, then we can act, but the sheep come home, turn on mainstream media, and believe every word they hear and call anyone else a 'conspiracy theorist' as though having well researched theories is bad thing, or that no one conspires when trillions of dollars are at stake, or worse still, totalitarian control through digital currency / social-credit-score cards. . Most people have no idea what Agenda30 is, they know nothing about GAVI, the World Economic Forum, Bank of International Settlement that controls all central banks from (you guessed it) Switzerland, they are unaware of the Soros funded Open Society, and his funding or AntiFa thugs. They have no idea of how the rich get richer from the climate scams. Ask 10 people how the Petro-Dollar system works and it's connection to Saddam Hussein, and see if even one knows.
A BVG controller fined me (cash) and because I was stoned I paid it. He gave me the reciept and obviously I had been scammed. He was an actual controller but now I have to go pay the ticket. Just the thought of debating this with some German BVG controllers is making me procrastinate leaving the house. I'll probably have to pay the fine again but I want to report the guy for scamming. I have no evidence though.
Acquaintance of mine did the thing where they called the police. They ended up entering something in his file and it was a whole pain in the butt for him years later when he needed a clean police record for some corporate job. Worked out in the end but bureaucratic af.
This city is an extremely lonely place to be.
Better to be alone here than to mix with the Leftist phuckheads and the brainwashed rhetoric spewing out of tehir stupid mouths. They don't even know they are useful idiots for George Soros. There's one of them here on Berlinhater who is Soros operative trolling me constantly, you'll know him because his limited vocabulary always includes "Juergen" and/or "Florian", and stupid butthole and wurst comments, he comes across as a total Phuckwit, but what else can one expect from a Soros parrot. Berlin is full of them, little virtue-signallers digging their own graves, and trying to guilt and shame others in the process. Berlin is full of hypocritical, parasite, leftist losers.
There's a weirdo posting here who is obsessed with wurst, butt plugs and vibrators, and never has anything original to ad to the forum, just a tiny vocabulary with words like Jurgen and Florian. The most boring poster I've ever come across. I always read his posts late at night to help me sleep.
Germans are like sheep, parrots and lemmings. They all say exactly the same thing when you talk about the scams of Feminism, Covid, Climate Change and the Manipulating Media. They are so easily brainwashed and in lockstep, it scares the hell out of me. And after the wall came down, they now want another chance at making communism/socialism work. Berlin and Berliners are 1984. I've sold my apartment, now I've got two weeks left in this hellhole, and I will never come back. It's a city of imbeciles, one huge mental asylum.

Lol the comments are either Wursts or bratwurst babies who love to take it in the butt by Germany. Well I remember seeing this and after that we started getting random dislikes and other ...things..., If people want to post their grievances, well let em. r/Berlin needs more critical commentary. I don't want us to be in a vacuum with only positive bratwurst sucking comments on r/Berlin. People are welcome here. but i think this was a German that posted that 100%.
Germany has a Renting culture. No wonder everything here is upside down. I've had Germans tell me "It is more flexible" sure...If you own a home you can rent it off and use the money to rent some other place or live somewhere else. How the fornicate is it flexible to rent and be at the mercy of your landlord? In the end you end up paying more in rent than what it would cost to own a home. Additionally this allows large Corporate landlords to flourish because all the German idiots want to rent their homes and not own them, it screws up the market entirely. I never understand the logic of Germans. Something that the rest of the world agrees on the Germans flip it over. Are they dumb? are they trying to be special?
Simple answer is that Germans believe any propaganda the German government tells them to and they never question anything. They're also conditioned to never think beyond first order effects. Yeah, renting is cheaper in the short term if you don't need to pay a down payment (which in Germany is traditionally higher than most other places) but silly Stefan doesn't have the brain capacity to realize that over the life of the mortgage, your monthly payments aren't going to increase, unlike if you're paying rent.
I work for a big multinational company here and there's a slack for personal finance in Germany. Recently saw some foreigner ask everyone's opinion on buying. Some paper smart Germans (let's say job title something like data scientist) jump in with "you have to ask yourself if your monthly rent is cheaper or more expensive than the mortgage would be". That is 12 year old level logic - truly idiotic.
Germany also doesn't particularly want home owners. Unlike countries that promote home ownership, Germany doesn't even allow you to deduct mortgage interest in your income tax declaration. Germany also always has higher interest rates on mortgages than any other similar country - it's why Germany itself was basically unaffected by 2007/8 aside from exposure of German banks to foreign CDSes.
Now the answer to why Germany doesn't want home ownership... The only reason I can see is highly partisan - the Leftist parties want people dependent upon government. They gain power by being the party that keeps kicking the can down the road by unconstitutionally freezing rent, capping rent increases at 15% per 3 years, threatening to seize privately owned apartment buildings, etc. which is just a leftist populist ploy to consolidate power, and we all know how responsibly Germany handles having power. At least the FDP had sensible ideas to promote private ownership (which is just a proxy measure of free time, unlike what German leftists describe it as - capitalist hedonism). But the FDP is less popular than the politically toxic AFD so we'll see public floggings of foreigners before we'll see any true reform. And besides, the FDP sucks too anyways, for a free market party they're way too Germanized and still think government should subsidize culture.
Funny thing is that I moved here when I was fully convinced that wellfare capitalism was good or at least possible. Seeing how Berlin is truly a failed state opened my eyes. About 99% of Berliners live and die without leaving behind anything for their children - no money, no home, usually not even a car. I used to think German pop philosophy (the kind the obnoxious German acquaintance spills on you over a beer) was intriguing, but then I realized it's just another flavor or the same idiotic billshit anyone else would say. Completely over this place and these people.
Why do Germans pretend education here is hard? I did a vocational training and later got a bachelors and then a masters. Education here is easy as hell. First of all, I think it is basically impossible to fail a course here since 50% is passing. Second of all, profs are massive losers here who will change your grade if you challenge them at all, especially if you are a girl.
Abitur is also a huge joke Germans like to pretend is difficult. I was studying for the external exam to skip abitur to study and the curriculum is laughable. And they actually make the external exam harder as a form of chicanery becauae Germans love 1. uniformity, 2. inflexible systems, 3. lying. Abitur is just a scam to keep foreigners from studying here.
Don't ever believe a German when they tell you any kind of education here is hard because it is not.
Also right before the EU switch to bachelor/master only, the cheating Germans changed their system so Grosses and Kleines Diplom became the same thing which artificially boosted every German with kleines Diplom to equivalency with Master.
Germans are such gaslighters on a national scale and the govt fully supoorts it. Such a massive joke.
Also vocational training here is just retarded. They expect you to be a complete imbecile and trach you literally everything you might need to know. In my store we had an SOP for the most insane,crazy scenarios that happen once in a lifetime. It's all a scam to make people experience learned helplessness, insane reinforcement of hierarchies and of course to make youth unemployment appear low.
The Ausbildung system too is ridiculous. They have it even for cashiers at lidl. I think its just a way of justifying paying people less for a year or so, and since Germans have no balls (look at pension reforms, France reaction vs Germany) they gladly take it in the butt and even excuse it.
Germans don't fight back because they know Germany is always importing more and more people from dire situations (Balkans, Syria, Ukraine) to do Ausbildungaberufe. Germans rightfully realize that soon no German will be scanning barcodes or making sandwiches at Subway. That doesn't mean that Germans are smarter or will all have white collar jobs, it just means the dumb Germans end up perpetually on the dole.
