Red Bull - European but Far right

Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.

Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...

(And it's also not very healthy,....)

I am permanently banned from making Reddit accounts because I got about 4 of them banned for "promoting violence".

The violence? Telling people it was a good thing to punch Nazis. Reddit is a Nazi safe space.

I got banned, three times so far, for baiting and calling out ruzzian trolls. Apparently, telling them to go dig a fresh latrine pit for babushka, is inciting violence. Assholes.

Remember when you could say things like "The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi"? Wasn't even that long ago.

Seriously, fuck Nazis. All of a sudden you've got Nazis in government and we're supposed to act like you should tolerate that shit. Hmmm.

I got a warning for upvoting pro-Canada stuff like "elbows up". That is apparently promoting violence.

Yikes, Reddit is slowly killing itself. I remember years ago it was more the opposite - there were some seriously disturbing subs because they didn’t want any censorship. Now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and it’s hard to say anything of substance without getting warned or banned

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well yeah, you're promoting the same kind of violence that Ukraine continues to perpetrate on Russia.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Go fertilize a sunflower, Yuri :)

Yeah, at this point Reddit is a sinking ship. Been using it for so long too. A little sad to see it go, but it's a shell of what it used to be.

[–] androidul@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

o Reddit is no place for normal people

Yep, permanently banned here for "ban evasion" though I only know 1 sub I was banned from and I never went there after. That's okay, helped me quit what is clearly a hollow shell of user participation filled with a corpo bot sludge. It's really easy to VPN up and make another account anyway, but why play in the garbage heap?

Interestingly, the site wide rules about violence are only supposed to be credible calls to action. Like if someone was actually planning to murder people and coordinating it on the site.

Saying you'd like to punch someone, even if they aren't a Nazi, isn't against the rules as they are written. Either they don't understand their own rules, they are lazy fuckers who don't want to do their jobs the correct way and actually investigate shit to make sure it actually violates the rules, or they are Nazi pieces of shit.

Not one of these things makes using the site sound like a good idea.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A system is what it does. Action matters more than intent. Reddit bans anti Nazi rhetoric, therefore it is a pro Nazi website.

I was banned for "promoting violence" by saying, in a thread mocking Musk's AI, that someone managed to get Musk's AI to say that Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty.

Reddit is 100% defending Nazis by extending their definition of "promoting violence" to extreme lengths if you say something against the oligarchs and nazis but will twiddle their thumbs when people are literally calling to hurt and/or kill immigrants, non-white people or LGBTQ+ people.

[–] rohevein@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Have been writing many times that burgerlanders should eliminate Trump, Musk, etc if they want to have their country. Not once has my account been even suspended. Only where I have been suspended was only Russian - Ukraine war subreddid few times. And last time after appellation they opened again.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

My 5 banned accounts would say otherwise.

Well so much of free speach here. Ok, my account is too new here for posting a screenshot. But I was banned from @meme for saying that comminism is not great. So, what we have? In reddit farright as you say and in Lemm farleft?

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Without checking, this was probably the .ml version of memes, luckily there are several other meme communities

[–] rohevein@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Checked, yes, it was .ml version:)
