County with the highest Afd result in Brandenburg at 50.6% is

- economically well off
- was not very affected by reunification
- has 0 refugees
- has good & further improving demographics
- good infrastructure

Reasons to vote for Afd:

- Great Replacement conspiracy theory
- "it's cool to be right wing"
- old people want more appreciation and praise for their life work in the GDR from the west

Me:

literally the only reason for that. people fear the unknown. people who never see refugees build up irrational prejudices. people who're around them all the time are more cool.

Look!
The local youth club being dominated by neo-fashists is also a big influence. Imagine 30 years of the "cool" kids making racist jokes without anyone telling them off or spouting racist edgy bullshit and then all the not so cool and/or the dumb kids just repeating that poo poo to each other and whoever speaks up gets made fun off. You get an entire social sphere where everyone thinks it's 100% normal to have racist opinions and is used to saying them out loud.

Yeah this is an issue that I have to deal with daily. There are a lot of (white) 14 year olds who are solely socialized by PewDiePie et al. and are continuously blurting out racist edgy poo poo, then when told off about it will always tell you that it was just a joke.

I was just running on a shared pedestrian/bike path (Köln has a freaking hard-on for those for some mysterious reason cheap to build, dumbass half-measure, every single user hates them - a match made in heaven). A kid on a bike is coming towards me and there's a dog owner with a (leashed!!) dog off of the path to the right. Of course that guy enters the path (without looking) just as I'm passing him, and his dog loses its poo poo at me. I jump to the left, directly into the path of the kid. As I'm weighing my options in slow-mo, the guy says to me: "nicht stehenbleiben" in a helpful "here's how to interact with regards my dog" tone of voice

Now that the adrenaline's worn off, I think I'll actually fully murder that guy when (not if) I see him again

Can I advise you to go the nearest schiedsamt and put in a Schlichtungsantrag with the dog man?

Fake edit: that sucks though, come back to Berlin op.

It's barely audible in my apartment. And even then I can only hear it because I'm waiting for a package and thus don't have headphones on.

Clearly the SPD government in charge of this city does not care about the safety of the population living in the lower-income quarter. :colbert:

NRW goons, I have a question for you while you're on high alert. I'm a mostly-clueless foreigner moving to Düsseldorf next month. My wife is from Hagen so has been around there a bit but mostly knows the Stadtzentrum, Königsallee, etc. and I suspect still thinks it's all bougie enough to burn to the ground. Any recommendations for interesting things to do or general cool neighbourhoods beyond the standard touristic stuff?

avoid Altstadt at all costs. Avoid Golzheim, Randler works there. Medienhafen is only for rich fucks too.
Bilk is nice. Can recommend Bilker Häzz. Unfortunately Brause is already closed (killed by gentrification), you're a few month late.
Become a fan of the DEG, the only club (I think) in the first league that still uses their original name instead of putting some stupid fantasy animal and/or sponsor in their name

"They vote right wing parties although there are no foreigners living there!" is an argument I cannot hear anymore.

Of course they will vote for the right. They wanna keep their "tribe" together. This is also why arguments like "You wanna divide the country!" do not work. Their strategy is division.

Operative word to make it a correct argument is "because", not "although".

A majority of arguments for voting for the Afd are based on the assumption that foreigners are the source of most everyday problems for these people like "we didn't lock our doors in the GDR and now I can't even leave the house without turning on the expensive security system" or " I don't feel safe in the streets anymore and don't send my kids alone anywhere" or "we could have spend the money for the refugee center on patching up the roads", etc. It's absolutely legitimate and good to point out that there are no actual foreigners/barbarians at the gates and all their problems must have another source

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Die erste Nachricht kommt diesmal aus Berlin.

Die CDU-Opposition im Abgeordnetenhaus macht dafür die Politik des rot-rot-grünen Senats verantwortlich. Christian Gräff, der die Fraktion in wohnungspolitischen Fragen vertritt, beklagt Untätigkeit von Bausenatorin Katrin Lompscher. „Wir müssen denen, die hierher kommen sagen: Macht euch keine falschen Erwartungen. Wir haben die Infrastruktur nicht. Ihr könnt hier nicht herziehen“, fasst er die Situation im RBB zusammen.

Abhalten von einem Umzug nach Berlin will Gräff natürlich niemanden. "Im Gegenteil - wir wollen, dass die Stadt wächst und mehr Menschen hier ihr Zuhause finden", sagte er dem "Tagesspiegel. Weil die Regierungskoalition aber Wachstum für Berlin vehement ablehne, bleibe ein Zugzugsstopp die einzige Option für die Hauptstadt: „So lange Rot-Rot-Grün weder Schulen, Kitas und Wohnungen in Berlin baut, kann man ja nicht ernsthaft Freunden dazu raten, hierherzukommen“, sagte er.

Teutogoons, I need job advice.

I've spent the last decade in Western Europe but I'm thinking about coming home. I have a PhD in a semi-technical field and spent the last year touching data for a financial institution. I'm perhaps taking a job now for a company that does 'Big Data Things'.

With that background, where do I look for jobs/recruiting contacts? I'm used to talking with recruiting agencies, but none of the ones I used work for German firms.

Yeah I'm on LinkedIn, the problem is that I'm used to turning on the 'looking for opportunities' light and getting offers from recruiters. I was hoping there are some reputable agencies in the home country, since I don't know exactly yet how the job titles/descriptions translate. If so, they could help me orient on the market.
