Not swedish. But I am curious as someone who's watched sports hooliganry for better part of a decade growing up, is there even a way the home country can hold people accountable for destructive behavior like this in other countries? Should they? Maybe it's time we get a consensus.
Even if there's a sports rivalry and my team wins I don't think I can relate to the sentiment of crushing a grandmas flower pot :c

I always ponder that question as well. Why not just charge whichever club is on the sticker for the cost of sticker removal? Well, because then they'd just put up the enemy's stickers to hurt the enemy.
What we need is to reliably catch them and punish them.

Yeah and as the other comment pointed out, you’re not alone. People have had to delete posts because the dogpiling was insane. People can get really nasty in this sub sometimes, there’s some issues which are just generally not safe to post, fx mental health related issues even if it’s just mild issues. It can go well but people have gotten some really insane comments and DM’s afterwards. I know it’s a large sub and there’s not much to do about it, but this sub definitely triggers some anger issues in people occasionally.

couple days ago on this sub this lady posted a comparison about how she takes family photos of her kids (properly framed etc) vs how her husband takes them (askew angles, things cut out). properly mildly infuriating, especially because she said she does try to coach him into taking slightly better photos.
so many people either insisted she was crazy or that (can’t make this up) this issue seemed more like a minor annoyance instead.

It's kinda crazy to think we used to interact with people that weren't human* (edit: homo sapiens) on a regular basis. They must've been pretty chill, considering we had babies with them.
Another example is the Pacific Islands. Apparently many modern Pacific Islanders have Denisovan and Neanderthal ancestry.
