Germans arr buying up American publishers and infrastructure at an alarming rate. Politico now belongs to Axel Springer. Scientific American belongs to Holzbrink. Flixbus just bought Greyhound. Now S&S is going to the krauts as well? What the hell is going on? What sre the Germans trying to accomplish here? A rewriting of history, science and pop culture that adheres to German hate speech sensitivities?
GET IT OUT THERE, THE INFO NEEDED TO FIT THE PUZZLE TOGETHER. A W.H.O worldwide initiative. To change your DNA. This is just for Australia, but every country has the same agreement.

Connect Bill Gates, friend of Epstein, Klaus Schwab from the WEF, Bank On International Settlements, WHO, Council on Foreign Relations, other UN initiatives, including Agenda 30, which if you read their spin, sounds quite benevolent, but join the dots, link all the people and you see a different picture.
I seriously forget about feeling / being happy since I started to live here. (7 years) I have never lived in Berlin but believe me, anywhere in Germany is as equally bad as Berlin. Berlin could be worse by every measure but living in Germany makes me wanna puke each day
I don't even remember when I have had my last meaningful conversation in this country, I have not made any new friends in the course of 7 years (I came here to study my masters and It was an international program. The only people I consider as my friends are some of the people from that group) When I go out, I get very angry because of the lack of manners of Germans. For example, they suddenly stop on the pavement, they stand on the pavement and keep talking without moving to allow you go through, they ride bikes like there is no one around, there are many junkies around Hauptbanhofs, when you accidentally get in touch with a German, he / she starts questioning you etc. I literally don't feel like I am alive here
On the other hand, I do have a job in IT at an international company where working language is English. I am allowed to work from home permanently and the job Itself is not stressful. I have chance to apply for German citizenship next year September (I will be eventually leaving If I would get the citizenship anyways) If I would remain employed at this company. This means, keep living in Germany at least for one more year even close to 2 years. I am reluctant about this because I am 30 and don't want to keep wasting my life here
I am also planning to move to another country in 2022. This move requires me to apply for a visa and the visa needs me to provide reference letters from my current employer. I have to explain the situation to my German manager and I hope, he will support my initiative. I am afraid that, after explaining my situation, he will open the grumpy and scorning German mode and try to sack me soon. This means, I would not be able to apply for citizenship until I find new employment (I specifically look for English jobs) This can be hard and time consuming.
To be honest, I am more than willing to move out of Germany asap but I also don't want to be stupid not to get German citizenship (I am non EU person) when I am so close to It. What would you do If you would be me?
You don't like the country nor the people, but you are fixated on getting the citizenship. So you basically have no honour, nor self-respect, as you are being opportunistic. Someone with a real sense of honour would want to get the citizenship of a country they would want to stay in and contribute to. I agree with you on Germany being a sh1tty country and Germans being awful people, but you are no better. You are probably a woman.
OP here. Yes, I am being opportunistic and there is nothing wrong with this.
I have been living here and contributing but I don't want to deal with constant discrimination, scorning, lectures by Germans even about the country I was born and raised. Germans don't care about the contributions I bring, they only see my as "ein anderer Ausländer" regardless what I do or how useful I am to German society. Getting citizenship would be my legal right to get It and I am considering to get It.
From ethical point of view, you could be right but why would I care about being ethical for something which is not harmful to anyone? You could argue that, getting German citizenship is so easy but that would be the problem of the government of Germany not mine.
Dear OP, don't ever bother giving explanations to this troll! He's a creep, and the garbage that comes out of his mouth says it all! I wish he would just enjoy Poland and get some professional help.
You do what anybody would do, get a German passport and keep your job until you have a better one, hopefully somewhere a bit more pleasant!
I think people should stay in their own country/cultures and bring the standard of living up there, just like generations of Germans had to do. I agree somewhat with the radical poster here, that opportunists are not very nice people, just leave Germany, go back home and apply yourself there. Improve your own country from within for your future generations, just like older Germans did. Hard work, long hours, enthusiasm, optimism, commitment, take these traits back and make a difference.
What the…. who the hell is the very honorable poster? Did he get the receipt?
Getting citizenship means 0, it’s just a paper that gives you certain access. No one owns this planet, but there are political rules. Getting citizenship brings some benefits, it doesn’t make you German or anything.
If you have contributed for 7-8 years to it, go for it!
What the heck is all that hillbilly hate? I would frankly do the same, as the German passport is “stronger” than mine… nothing wrong with that. I lived here, I contributed here, I’ll go for it. At least something out of it… the rest is crap anyway.
To the Florian posting about cherman hard work raising the standard of living: you’re so brainwashed and wrong it’s frustrating. Gastarbeiter and Marshall plan helped your economy, NOT Chermans. Without foreigners, this country would eternally be krankgeschrieben and in Urlaub or partying for three days straight taking drugs. Without foreigners, you’re nothing. Just lazy racists with no manners. If a crisis comes, you’ll show your true colors and kick all foreigners out and of course you’ll lose again. And again and again.

As if kids on German playgrounds having to dodge drunken public pissers and heroine syringes isn't risky enough as it is. Always amazing how mainstream German movements always coincide perfectly with austerity measures and refusing to improve anything at all about this country by any objective measure.
Up next: Why it's actually a good thing that German electricity prices are highest in the entire EU.
Where would you all move to if given the opportunity to leave Berlin today?
Don't worry, I bet all tehse people or maybe one person downvoting, have probably never even been to Poland. I loved every minute of my 6 months there, the people are polite, friendly, hospitable, the food is ten times beter than German 'food'. Beuatiful architecture, lovely cities, quieter, much cheaper, a movie is €4. A very nice atmosphere over all, and the Poles are very creative. People are so stupid, they judge Poland by the filthy stinking, angry drunk Poles in the U-Bahn, in Poland they make up 0.0001% of the people, and the critics have probably not even been there. Give it a try, it really is a charming place. If your gay, stay in Berlin, you've found your home, being a white hetero male, I don't feel welcome in Berlin, I'm constantly told white people are crap, even by woke white people, so what's the difference. Go where you are excepted, don't try to change the society. Poland is very welcoming and most people under 50 speak enough english to get by and many speak very good English. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, you'll love it, go for a five day trip and get a feel for it, Poznan is only a couple of hours away. A really peaceful, beautiful city, with excellent parks and restaurants.
Why are German businesses so stingy that they can't even offer free water, free bathrooms, free condiments, benches for waiting and shelf stocking outside of opening hours? And if German businesses cut out all of the extra benefits, then why aren't the prices here lower than back home?
Only allowing beige or grey computers in the workplace sound 100% german.

Germans are obsessed with erasing history whenever possible and destroying any sense of family.
Has anybody ever lived in an apartment in this city where they didn’t hear every single thing their neighbours do??
Yeah, basically just forget any hope of ever feeling at home in Berlin. In public you always have to be hypervigilant because some German will always be trying to ruin your day. You won't ever really have any personal space. Sure, you can probably find a 2x2m spot on a rundown field in the park in summer, but you'll nearly be guaranteed to be close to a group of drunkards smoking weed, some exhibitionist Jerry leering at women or a flat out psychotic German chimping out. At home it's no better, you'll hear the guy above you yelling at his girlfriend all day while watching reality TV, the woman below you listening to bass heavy 90s techno and screaming the words to the Gummy Bears theme song all night. And don't even hope for a break while they are at work when you have a day off - somehow it seems that you are the only person in your building that ever actually leaves the apartment complex. And yet Germans consider this utopia.
Whats the advantage od this poop new Airport BER? You pay extra for zone C, and Its more far Away. There was no reason to shut down Tegel. Only corrupcy. Or give me reason to shut down ONLY airport in capital of state. Stupid government.
Tegel was complete garbage and had been operated beyond capacity for 15 years. No further room for expansion. That daid, everything I have read about BER sounds almost as bad or worse. Like everything in Germany, if it's run by the government or via government funding/subsidies, then it is mismanaged at the levels you would expect of Zimbabwe. Probably a plot by the Greens to collapse air travel from Europe's viggest capital.

Because of course.
When I went to a park today for a nice walk through the falling autumn leaves I couldn’t help but notice there were far more dogs running around than people. On a day like today you expect families to be out there enjoying the last few of the warmer days. Instead of kids running around having fun the place was full of dogs randomly barking at people. Since I live here I hate dogs. I know it’s not the dogs fault as they simply copy their stupid owners but still: I AM ANNOYED BY THE AMOUNT OF DOGS IN THIS CITY!
This place is so messed up, insane asylum. I don't understand how this society still exists. How do you keep yourself sane here? I need tips.
Number one, do not expect you will make a friend with a German, maybe at best an acquaintanceship, but never a friend, no one will ever have your back here.
NEVER, under any circumstances, lend anyone money, IF YOU HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS OF GETTING IT BACK.
Don't be fooled by a German being friendly when you first meet them, it's all for show, they'll speak English with you to for practice, and lull you into a false sense of security doing so again, but in reality, they will resent having to speak English. So either learn German, or leave, and even if you do learn perfect German, you'll never understand the nuances of colloquial terms and humour. And the will never understand yours.
The best place to live is in your own homeland and just have holidays in exotic places every year.
Remember, Germans like to fit into a narrow-minded group, and that's all they see, they have no ability for objective thinking, it's always black and white. If you come up with a good idea, they will feel envious and act accordingly, by trying to sabotage you, either, mentally, emotionally or financially. They'll phuck you over in a heartbeat.
Rule NUMBER ONE, never expect anything in Berlin, because you WILL BE let down.
Rule number two, when you realise Berlin is a very sick place, trust your intuition, and leave, straight away, just go, don't think you can break the social code, you never will.
Have you guys ever caught yourselves behaving like a German and felt immediate shame and regret?
I went full Karen recently. All the “I want to speak to the manager” deal, but no shame.
It was a difficult nasty customer service (Haha, good joke) person that did absolutely nothing and was on top rude… I have 0 expectation for my issue to sort, but I hope I ruined their day.
Trying to move out of here - what do you guys think about the Netherlands?
They are not rude but more direct than Germans and very individualistic. If you would live in Amsterdam, this is different story as Amsterdam is a whole different world but the rest of Netherlands is actually very similar to Germany. (Except you can get along with English better anywhere in Netherlands)
Plenty of idiot down-voters here, don't take it personally, they do it to me as well, they never have anything useful to say, just constant negative put-downs and multiple down-votes, i'm actually starting to suspect it might be the admin guy, no proof, just an intuition. There's always a handful of imbeciles no matter where you go. The internet's town clowns.
Definitely another traumatic experience.
Trust me on this, I lived there for over 20 years. A poster above mentioned how the Germans are all friendly at the beginning then basically ghost you? That's the Dutch. Rude, jealous, small minded, spiteful, petty....I come here because the experiences of posters reminds me so much of living in NL.
So in conclusion, don't do that to yourself.
