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 don't drink Red bull but still would like a more thorough article or information about this
Wikipedia provides a starting point!
I don't drink it because it's trash, but I had no idea about any of this. The word needs to be spread.

C’mon you have the fucking Internet, you can just search this shit yourself if you want more information.
No I don't think I will.
It's normal to expect from OP to provide source for their claim.
It’s not good to not be able to research yourself.
Lets say 5000 people see this post - should it be normal and expected that 5000 people spend their time hunting down a source to a claim, or have a single OP include it in their post?
Should it be normal or expected that 5000 people read and believe something without self verifying it beyond what could be cherry picked or outright false examples by an OP?
They asked for more information about a topic in which they were interested, on a forum designed to spread information. I don't think you can reasonably fault the person asking for more information of being lazy, when the OP could be considered equally lazy for not including the context in the first place, right?
Either way you're right, being able to look things up is a good skill to have! But maybe don't be a jerk about it, we left reddit for a reason, right? ;)
Welcome to the spot, you're absolutely right and the world could use more people that think like you.
For real, keep being you at all costs, you're awesome.
No one said they're unable to research, asking for a source is normal imo. Supporting claims with sources in the first place would be better, the internet is overrun by fake news and lies. Most don't take the time to research everything they see online. It's simply a big researchers team's full time job to research everything you see scrolling 10 minutes on any platform. So when stating a claim or posting a story, you should support it with sources or otherwise you should be asked to do so.
Why would you assume they aren't able? They just said they'd like more information, not that they can't go get it themselves...
You can also just ignore them.
Damn, "Servus in Stadt und Land" doesn't even need a translation to realize how racist it is.
I speak german and there is nothing rascist about that sentence.
Servus literally means "Hello" in many German dialects, especially in Austria:
Also, it is used precisely because most people were servants a dozen or more centuries ago.
Maybe next time use a translator just in case before commenting mate. Servus is the name of the TV station, "in city and country" is very hard for me, impossible really, to find anything racist in it.
