    I’m german and I absolutely disagree with these measures. It goes against all our Union within Europe stands for. We have to solve issues together not everyone on its own.

    If there is a problem, we have to strengthen the EU-outside borders not the one within.

    I would wish a better support and cooperation for countries with EU borders. The budget and people for strengthening german borders should go to an EU wide border cooperative that protects the EU outside borders together.

    Last Generation Austria (Letzte Generation Österreich) disbanded recently, because they can’t handle legal fees anymore. Others are on the same path.

    While protesters for other causes face no consequences, climate protesters get arrested regularly.

    For example farmers in Germany protested that they don’t get subsidies anymore for using diesel engines, blocked and hindered main streets, people and buisnesses. Held a ferry full of people hostage because a politican with his family was on board, with no real negative or legal consequences.

    German government caved to the farmers, while at the same time charging climate activists en mass for blocking highways and such.

    You obviously didn’t make the effort to look at more than the headline.

    The article states clearly that colombia tried several other messures to control the hippo population. Neither transfering efforts nor population control were fruitful. But from the 4 hippos in escobars zoo there are now nearly 200 and they expect the population to grow to >1000 until 2035 if they don’t get the situation under controll.

    Hippos are super heavy and super dangerous and super difficult to move alive. They just hunt you down and kill you for sport. In addition to being an invasive species in colombia, taking important living spaces from local wildlife (that dies in consequence too).

    I still have hope.

    On reddit there were also a lot of right wing nuts, incels and raging misogynists, but they tended to concentrate themselves into their own subs and echo chamber bubbles. If you kept yourself away from the “Manosphere” (like r/incels, r/MGTOW, r/MensRights…), the likes of TheDonald and the equaly disturbing misandrists of r/FemaleDatingStrategy it wasn’t that bad.

    I hope this wave of toxic behaviour towards each other is just some kind of growing pain and these toxic people will find themselves seperating into their own communities wigh time.
