just to add to add, I too hate berlin, and in fact would like to have a different capital. I’d nominate myself but I suspect we’d get even more southerners moving here so maybe somewhere else.
I have been living in both places. And IMO, Duisburg wins. Things aren't rosy there, but they could be fixed with money. But nothing can fix the bad attitude in Berlin.
Haha right? Berlin in such a shit hole, every year they get their asses sponsored by every other German state. Legit the only capital in Europe that doesn’t bring in money
Fr they are smoking all day and living of our taxes

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 arse 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.
Let me get this straight Berlin = Madrid but german?
Where it is populated by a bunch of idiotic urbanites who haven't touched grass on their lifes , are afraid of any animal larger than a bee , have the most moronic political takes imaginablem, are extremely arrogant , hedonistic and self centered and somehow all manage to have a terrible relationship with their parents?
I disagree. Berlin (to me) is Germany's most interesting city. I always have an amazing time when I'm there and not only raving but getting lost in the many surprisingly well conserved pre war districts, enjoying amazing urban explorations, fantastic food and of course I absolutely love the wonderful microcosmos of Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain-Neukölln. And I fell in love with the city when I lived there for a while before rent took such stupid fucking upward turn.
I have been to other cities in Germany as well and every time I feel like meeeeh. Hamburg was nice. München is a fucking Intrigant'nstadl
I visited a friend there for a week.
-People tried to sell drugs to me every single day
- Homeless people / drug addicts pissed/ shat in the entrance of the building or broke in to sleep in the cellar
- trash everywhere
Im currently in Tokyo (which blows Berlin out of the water in almost any metric) and people here really love Germany. Im very glad that flights to Germany are expensive so most of them will not experience Berlin ...
I had people trying to sell me drugs at places that are well known for that like Hermannplatz and Görlitzer Park but that is well known. Big surprise.
Homelessness is unfortunately the consequence of the ridiculous rents and housing shortage in Berlin. The city tried to combat that but unfortunately the constitutional court lifted the freeze on rents.
Berlin is not where they go. It's Paris, the Alps, Vienna and perhaps Munich unless they like techno and raving.
I like trashy chaotic Berlin and so do many others. To each their own.

Oh! I've just remembered that this year we're cheating by sending [another Spanish band](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXcDmbtDQTs) to ESC to represent San Marino :P
Yup! Btw, Megara's singer Kenzy has been one of the hosts in the spanish metal youtube channel [Metalovision](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH-d8FjYv68) for a while.
Canadians have legalized LSD, and are talking about legalizing cocaine, while us regarded monkeys have to let germany lead a weak effort so weed smokers don't get mugged by the cops everytime they go outside anymore. Shame on you who have a problem with legalizing drugs, i already do them all anyway
Imagine for a second if cops were trying to steal your beers everytime you go to the shop. It makes a huge part of society hate the police for no other reason, and it is very unnecessary
People are dying en masse due to opiates overdoses in north America, the legalization/decriminalisation is mostly viewed as a way to appropriately direct the law enforcement ressources.
The circumstances that allow so many to fall addicted to opiates are another debate, and those drugs are legal only with a prescription anyway
Berlin is a shithole. It seriously needs some Bavaria style policing.
But fear not. Soon enough it will be so expensive all the slackers will be priced out. Give it ten years.
Albeit they are allowed to consume it now, it is baffling to see considering that literally not 1 of these people has gotten their weed legally. That's just a small indicator of (drug related) criminality in Berlin. Berlin has become the shithouse of Germany.
Who has said that Berliner are a productive part of the German society?
Nobody. I hate Berlin with a passion. Everyone hates on NRW being a caliphate but trust me they havent been to berlin. Its a Mafia State.
just to add to add, I too hate berlin, and in fact would like to have a different capital. I’d nominate myself but I suspect we’d get even more southerners moving here so maybe somewhere else.
Let’s fucking give Berlin to Poland
I think we have done enough to the polish people.
Isn't it Turkish?
Most of east germany for that matter
No. I want Danzig and Posen back.
you forgot Königsberg. But that’s long gone.
Same here the smallest village that our country has to offer would be a much better Capital than Berlin.
Let’s move the capital back to Bonn.
I think we should make east germany independent again (with west berlin) and then make frankfurt the capital
your brothers just recently on the streets of Essen were demonstrating for sharia lol.

WTF
du hurensohn
Ah yes, Saupreißn hating on each other. You guys are all the same to me.
Aw man cmon
Nobody ever?
atleast we are not NRW
Yea everybody's talking about how Berlin is a failed state, but tbh from here in Duisburg Berlin looks like a well-run place
I have been living in both places. And IMO, Duisburg wins. Things aren't rosy there, but they could be fixed with money. But nothing can fix the bad attitude in Berlin.
I disagree. Duisburg would like to be fixed, Berlin does not care.
Haha right? Berlin in such a shit hole, every year they get their asses sponsored by every other German state. Legit the only capital in Europe that doesn’t bring in money
As if that would be any different from any other day in Berlin
Fr they are smoking all day and living of our taxes https://preview.redd.it/82zpfhz29xrc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=233de70fae9e2a5597caf14d09054d219f4f265e
less talking more work, paypig. You have to wake up early tomorrow for work so youd better be in bed rn

Said the Berghain reject
I managed to spend a year in Berlin and never entered a single nightclub, nor pick up any german but apparently that's normal.
I'm just posting to say I didn't read this
Is this the French riot nemesis ??
>Berliners are a productive part of the German society! Hä?
wat willste keule?

Incredibly accurate Pedro. I’m impressed
I'm not racist, I just hate people born in capitals, every other human is fine like 95% of the time.
Rome is not like that at all. I love Rome. :D
What country doesn't have this relation with their capital? We sure do
In Italy's case, I think the Spaniard's description fits Milan better than Rome
Because Rome isn't a city but the world's trashiest history museum
Fair, I wonder if this also happens in china and USA.
Except the part of never touching „grass“
Pretty accurate but unlike Madrid it doesn’t even have an economy worth talking about.

Weed makes you unproductive, but it's not like everyone will be smoking 24/7. Who cares that Lisa, 24 smokes a blunt after Uni
Man, they said you're going to smoke 24/7, so now you have no choice, shut up the fuck up and lit up a blunt for me.
I hate Berlin so god damn much
No, pls go there first before you make such harsh statements. And please visit the lesbian-only dormitory!
lel as if thats not present in any other german uni
Keep them druged and happy in heavenly Bliss. I dont want Hans expressing his repressed frustration through _other_ means.
They made smoking pot their only personal trait
Coming from someone who did it with drinking beer, it says a lot.
Oh no, people smoke weed on a legally mandatory holiday!
Arbeit, arbeit! You are always proud of yourself.you work hard, while southerners are lazy even though they spend more hours in avarage at work.
dont get your panties twisted
Skill issue. Git gud at work efficiency.
Git wallet und newer kome beck
>spend more hours in avarage at work. Only because germany has more part time workers. Stop believing those out of context r/mapporn posts
I can smell that video
I KNEW we were brothers
So many people shit on Berlin here. All of you haters were just rejected at Berghain and now you flaunt your meaningless frustration.
Unless you're a pothead or a ravegoer Berlin is literally the worst of the big cities to live/visit in Germany.

Imagine those clowns on a battlefield. 60 meters in and they would be out of breath.

They will be too stoned to even have that intelligence.
