Why does everything seems to be formal and soulless in this country?
Russia did nothing wrong.
It’s true, they did nothing wrong. All the chaos the Americans, French, Brits, Saudi Arabia have caused. Not one Saudi, or western politician has been sent to The Hague. The Americans pushed Russia into this shit. What if Russia started arming Cuba, or Mexico? Oh forgot, when the Americans do it then whatever war crime is committed is justified. „In the name of Democracy.“ How easy are people‘s minds changed by the media racist propaganda. Anyone, who studies politics would know this a power struggle between Russia and NATO. How many military bases do Russia have around the world compared to you know who? And Ukraine are full of freaking racist.
People also seem to forget that before Russia's attack, Ukrainians had been terrorizing Russian minorities in eastern Ukraine for years, disrespecting the Minsk agreements.
F*cking LMAO at people donating money to the most corrupt country in Europe. Those oligarchs over there are surely looking forward to your hard-earned money coming their way.
Normal civilians living their peaceful lives are not to blame on either side…
Ukraine is a collateral victim, sadly, to a war between NATO and Russia.
And yes, we are being fed a lot of propaganda, on all sides. Best we can do is use our own thinking capacity and educate ourselves.
Not to be mean, but what the hell has happened to DW's Brent Goff? He looks so aged and worn. Does it have to do with him living in and being based in Berlin? (Something in the water?)
Huh? Don’t ever slip up and reveal your personal problems to Germans. Watch in real time how they immediately become uncomfortable. These people aren’t your friends, don’t fall for the trap of them making you feel comfortable around them.

Holy effing S man, pedophiles as far as the eye can see here. And OF COURSE the dude was a Kindergarden caretaker, how on earth could anyone have ever known or caught him in the act.
Some guy threw an egg at Berlin's mayor last weekens. Creepy how they talk about it on the news here. "Of course he should be punished by the hardest extent of the law! It is an insult of a German politician and an attempt at a life threatening injury! Our Giffey deserves better!"
Our Giffey? Wtf I thought the GDR lost.
is anyone else going insane and counting the months until they can leave. How do people live in this place and enjoy life? I feel like i have constantly been waiting for life to happen here but have to accept that it never will. They dont know what real life is. Rules and obligations just kill everything.
Talk to Germans. They think it's worse and harder elsewhere. They think you need a social safety net that allows East Germans to not have worked in 30 years and still get enough taxpayer money to be permadrunk at the local späti 16 hrs a day. They are highly insecure (justified imposter syndrome). Imagine your incompetent boss at work. Now imagine him working somewhere where you can actually get fired...
What is your biggest dissapointment about Germany?
-Nation that pretends to have learned from its past mistakes but is still incredibly racist and prejudiced against foreigners of a certain kind. If you are not "white", forget about certain doors being open to you. Even if you speak German well, any hint of an accent or a foreign origin will serve as an excuse for people to discriminate you.
-Conformity and obsession with rules and laws. You are expected to behave and think in certain ways. There is no room for innovation or flexibility.
-Mental illness. So many people on antidepressants and/or on drugs because otherwise they cannot cope with life. It is not surprising. It is easy to get depressed in a country like Germany.
-Wages and high taxes. Forget about ever owning a house or a flat. You will rent for life. You won't own a new car. You won't make it big and go from rags to riches, as you could in the USA. You will earn an average income and live in a tuna can somewhere. Perhaps you might even share a flat with strangers because you cannot afford a place of your own.
-No moral values. People openly cheating on their partners or leading open relationships. Patchwork families are increasingly common. Lots of divorce, low birthrate.
-Ugliness. Whether it is the architecture, or the way people dress, or the way people dress, behave or look. It is hard to find beauty. People are vulgar, impolite, rude. Women ruin themselves with tattoos and piercings. Men ruin themselves with the same, but also add passive aggressiveness, which makes them even more insufferable. It is OK. They will adopt a dog or an African child from Ruanda just to make up for it.
-The weather. Grey skies for most of the year. Only a few days of sun and real summer.
Re: Beauty
In Berlin and near it there isn't even any natural beauty to be enjoyed. Extremely flat landscapes. Yeah, there's some overcrowded lakes here but they are gross and literally stink in warm weather. Ever heard of an agency in Germany report on the fecal bacteria count on the lakes here? Classic German head-in-sand. Where I am from they report this weekly on actual oceans. Pretty sure by our measurea, no lake in Berlin would have ever been allowed to open (and indeed, it is not actually permitted to swim in most of them here anyway).
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.
