Consistently confusing rudeness and vulgarity with "honesty" is the most German thing ever.
All krautts are Hurensöhne and Hurentöchter
At the moment I am in another German city and it is amazing what a difference it makes for my state of mind. Yea, it’s still Germany and Germans are sh*t everywhere but the place is clean, doesn’t smell and after taking my first shower my skin felt mich better. My hair also stopped falling out and it feels much softer.
I am not looking forward to going back to Berlin, but hey I got a reminder that there indeed is a better world out there. When you stay in Berlin for too long a good world seems like an imagination rather than reality.
I have spent some time overseas and planned my escape out of Berlin there.
I had 50€ on my bank acc when I arrived back in Berlin at the start of last month and went on wg gesucht to find a flat in another city in Germany. I have had a few Wohnungsbesichtigungen on one day in a city 3,5h away from Berlin I have spent my last money on the flixtrain to have the view the flats and my Vermieter (German) told me to tell him If afterwards if I like them so I messaged him afterwards and told him I want to have it.
Then he asked for my Gehaltsnachweise, Kaution (didn't have any). I told him my story and said I haven't been in Germany the last two months and was working overseas and that, that job didn't work out so I need a flat and I was basically homeless I didn't get money from the Jobcenter or anything. He said okay let the past be the past and asked me if I can pay rent end of the month I told him I will go to the Amt and could pay the rent end of the month and Im looking for a job at the same time so he agreed and I got the flat so I took my luggage I just had clothing and a yoga matte and slept on there the first night and got a mattress on eBay Kleinanzeigen the next day and some more furniture that was zu verschenken. Long story short I have got everything I need now and I have found a good playing job already, starting next week.
I prayed to god to help me get out of Berlin and he did. If you really want to get out of that demonic City you will and can you just need to get your .. moving. Peace!
The quality of the education is laughable here. I came to Germany as master student to study IT project management subject. The teaching language was English. All I required to do was writing couple pages in "academic English" by referencing some books per week and present them in the class for 5 - 6 minutes. Then I had to pass final exams which were all consisting of theoretical questions like "Please describe the phases of the project" or "What is the role of stakeholders in the project?" I used to study only couple days before final exams. The rest, I was partying almost everyday or making trips to different cities / countries. I even did not take my master thesis seriously. I have just written It because I had to. My final GPA was 2 / 5 (1 is the best grade in Germany)
I am not surprised that Germans are inefficient and stick to the old ways of working at workplace because their universities don't teach anything useful to them.
German uni is education on easy mode. You can literally cheat on every exam, if you get caught nothing happens - just retake. Had people (Germans) in my senior class who didn't know what plagiarism meant. They failed the thesis cos of it but just rewrote. Now they're earning 100k at Deloitte.
I have drawn the conclusion, people bash into each other cos they crave attention. They are lonely and looking for humanity. That or they are ignorant and uneducated. There we have Berlin.
It’s just so boring, drab and dull. The colours they choose to repeat. I think we stopped in Britain with that palette in my grandparents generation. Custard yellow with grey… pooey browns with grey, light grey with dark grey… sick Green with grey… this function over style fixation, it is in the end somewhat soulless.
I low key dislike this country and people with my whole existence.
People who are wicked, evil in nature are predictable in their actions. It doesn’t matter where in the world you go. People in this city are the same. If you are truly a good person at heart and have experience dealing with the wicked then you know their tactics. In fact you know what they will do before they do. Germans with their gossip nature, two-face, jealous, envious nature are easy to read. Sometimes, at work or with neighbors. I have giving just a taste of personal info to that German/individual just to see would they go back and talk. And just as I thought they would go back tell others what I said. These Germans gossip and talk behind your back as it was a national sport. Never in my life have I felt I was surrounded by enemies/snakes. Never have I ever had to cut my emotions off dealing with people. Recently between January and now I have had two dreams about snakes attacking me. I know it’s my subconscious warning me about these dealing with these snakes. I would urge all expats living here to support each other in all aspects of life here. The Germans want you doing just ok or under them but not better them. Try to gather your funds together and move to another country. You don’t want to be old here and digging through the trash because your retirement is shit.
new article describing what we already knew!
Arrogant, incompetent and corrupt: war is shattering our delusions of the German elite
www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/uar7ro/arrogant_incompetent_and_corrupt_war_is/
At this point that article main topic has expired. Olaf Scholz was right for staying out this conflict and keeping Butt-hole Germany out of it. Who will suffer the consequences from these NATO actions? Germany, not that little shit-hole England or the freaking Americans who are safe and surrounded by water. What will happen if Russia turns off that gas? Who will suffer if the gas is turned off? We will, the citizens and foreigners who live here. Bullshit, it’s like they are trying to provoke large scale war. Germany should stay out of it!!!!! If it wasn’t for NATO Russia could overrun Germany and the whole of Western Europe. This country acts like they are so independent but when they receive that call from the Americans, they jump quick to do what they say. When war breaks out Berlin will be Nuked, I know it.
Found this in reddit.
Oh, Berlin. What is Berlin? Berlin, as a city, brings nothing but shame to Germany on the international stage. When comparing Berlin with other European capitals such as London, Paris, Madrid and Amsterdam, any decent human’s face must blush in humiliation. Even small countries like Austria, Belgium or Switzerland have Vienna, Brussels and Zurich: presentable cities, complete with high standards of living. Germany gets punished with Berlin, capital of losers. In all the republic, Berlin is home to the largest number of arseholes by far. Deutsche Bahn, Bundestag, Air Berlin and Axel Springer are but a few examples of all the incompetent scum being kept here. Glorious times have long since passed, the city is face down in the dirt. Berliners are lazy sods to their very core. Traits that would, in any civilised culture, pass for nothing but laziness, rudeness, incompetence, dissocial personality disorder or idiocy, are taken by the Berliner and declared a way of life. That is why the Berliner harbours intense feelings of hatred for anyone who’s better than him in any way. Especially the all-around superior Southern Germany are a thorn in his side. He envies their success, and Munich makes the top on his list of hatred. That city is – and has! – everything that Berlin wants to be and have. Berliners take no interest in the fact that it is Munich that finances their dissolute lifestyle, in fact, they secretly believe that they have earned it. So instead of freeing themselves from their envious and resentful lethargy, instead of rolling up their sleeves and improve their city, they revel in their antisocial freeloading and praise their so-called global city. Culturally, Berliners are set up rather weakly, great works lie far back in history. Moreover, mispronouncing “g” as “j” is considered a great cultural feat. Advanced students have mastered ending each and every sentence with a “wa?”. The city’s culinary performance is second-rate. Here, a sausage made from glued-together, meaty odds and ends adorned with ketchup and curry powder is sold as a culinary masterpiece. Hardly any reasonable person would consider a bratwurst with ketchup a recipe, let alone the holy grail of culinary arts. Yet, in their magnanimity, the rest of the republic lets the Berliner keep his delusion, not wanting to amplify his inferiority complex. Economically, Berlin is an utter disaster, even the late GDR stood on more solid ground. The local economy is based around alternative blogs, something-something-media and, if universities are to be believed, gender studies. Disregarding his own bankruptcy, the Berliner treats himself to prestigious projects like the city palace and the airport – which, considering its inoperative nature, is likely an art installation. Moreover, the city houses all popular parties’ headquarters, who refrain from using “traitors” in their official names (Probably for marketing reasons). For the longest time, this “town’s” “mayor”, the jolly Wowibear, butchered anything he found left in a presentable state. Long story short: Berlin is Germany’s tiled coffee table. It is to Germany what Greece is to the European Union, and if it had open sewerage, it would be Germanys Romania. Berlin is a blemish, the abscess on the butt of the nation. Berlin is the uninvited party guest, who didn’t even bring any booze and wouldn’t even understand he’s not welcome if he had is teeth beaten out and got thrown down the stairs. Berlin is the Detroit of Germany and should be sold to Poland for 200 Złoty.
But jokes aside, all interegional "hate" is at most disdain, nothing more.
I have complained already about the children here. If the word sch8se is censored here why does a German child get to shout this word 10 times in a doc surgery and no parent corrects them… nor does any other member of the public? Must be a consensus that being rude is fine. Swearing is fine. As Long as it’s Germans swearing not foreigners. Even their children can swear and no one bats an eyelid. Of course it’s not the children at fault but their beast parents. They learn all the nasty German habits and The cycle continues
Swearing in Germany is nasty. Actually, the way Germans treat the language is repulsive.
A hot woman is a "geile Sau".
A dog is a "Köter".
A fool is an "Arsch".
You express astonishment by saying "Ach du Scheiße"
Something is not messed up, it is "Beschissen"
Someone hasn't lost his mind, but "dem haben die ins Gehirn geschissen".
Something it is not made wrongly, it is "schlampig"
Something is not bad, it is "Kacke".
Something is not ruined, it is "verkackt".
It kind of makes sense, taking into account how dirty and disgusting the average German is.
The smell is so bad. Just got back from abroad, by the sea and walked up my road on Mitte. The air reeks. My sense of smell was impacted from contracting COvid several months yet I can still smell the wretchedness of whatever it is …
has anyone else had the experienced of being shocked by how unreliable and untrustworthy Germans can be? They have this facade of reliability due to their "uniform culture", i.e. wearing kind of uniforms but also because they change very little. But behind that facade, that air of perfection, they are highly unstable..
