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,....)
They also support Israel's apartheid and occupation, they are listed on the NoThanks app.
I hade no idea about this! I buy these drinks occasionally, when I need a quick energy boost. I don't really like them though. In the future, I will be buying Nocco instead.
It also tastes like shit and is prohibitively expensive compared to many energy drink brands
I’m in the supermarket right this moment and I got a “No Limit”. The website seems to suggest it’s either French or Swiss, I have no clear idea of their politics though.
idk about r/buyFromEU but r/europe on reddit is pretty right-wing
I think the buy EU thing (and for that matter, all this trade war bullshit) is one of those things that claims to be apolitical but is inherently nationalistic and so massively popular with/supported by/in support of the authoritarian right.
One of those salt of saturn political things that lets people pretend they aren't right-wing.
Nothing in Redbull is good for you, it's full of sugar, and it comes in a can. Cans are lined with plastic that bleed estrogenic chemicals into the beverage. I've cut canned drinks out of my life entirely.

I did some quick looking through ~~google~~ Ecosia and I found some stuff that (seemingly? I'm not an expert) confirms this. It made sweeping statements about pretty much all plastic, though. Do you still drink stuff from plastic bottles?
This sounds like a snide comment but it's not, I'm interested because I currently still drink both from cans and plastic bottles!
I think people don't realize Red Bull is not a beverage company, they're a marketing company. Just like Google is an ad company
Anyway, the main message of this post is actually really important. Buying European is not what you have to aim for. We have to start making the switch to sustainable consumption. For softwares, plenty of open-source alternatives exist that are way better than European ones. The US do not have the monopoly on fascist capitalism
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.
Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburgand owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH, which also publishes the magazine Servus in Stadt und Land. The station is the successor to Salzburg TV, founded in 1995 and rebranded in 2009. It is politically aligned with the far right.

C’mon you have the fucking Internet, you can just search this shit yourself if you want more information.
It's normal to expect from OP to provide source for their claim.
