I fully understand that they refused to publish this if I may say so. He is permanently contradicting himself, and this is not even the worst part.
He doesn’t speak the language, but ‘assumes’ the young people ‘coming to Berlin’ (where do they come from?) are talking about clubbing? How does he make this inference?
And the Germans ‘might’ be ‘truly the furthest from a sense of humor’ which ‘could be the result of their deep reverence for rationality’ - an inference he apparently makes from a Mercedes-Benz ad at the airport.
And so it goes on. I mean, he is an artist and may assume whatever he wants, but I understand why they refused to publish this piece.
I am from Switzerland, so I don’t have the full picture, but I do remember that eastern (ex-communist) germany, where berlin is located, has/had a huge problem with people from the countryside fleeing to westgermany or the cities.
It was once so bad that a (i think government-) commission recommended giving up the villages completely and only focus on the cities. Which was received as well as you imagine it.
This is btw also a reason why the extreme right is so popular in eastern germany. All those with a more liberal mindset have fled. Definitely not the only reason, but one of them.

But yeah, this guy is just full of hot air.
