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,....)

Redbull is trash anyways. The only good thing about Redbull is Vegas Bombs. Otherwise skip out on this trash energy drink

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.

Their F1 team is notorious for one of their most senior staff members spewing racist bullshit with no consequences from ownership, so this doesn't shock me.

Edit: and their team principal having serious sexual misconduct allegations that got "investigated" and quickly swept under the rug.

Would you like to share your experience?

Luckily I don't like energy drinks and have hardly supported them at all.

[–] mimavox@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours ago

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.

Icl, ik this is slightly irrelevant to the post but even though I never really liked Red Bull (mostly cuz of their highly processed and unnatural taste) I've always rated and supported their stunts and funding of athletes, which I think regardless of their political views should be acknowledged and supported.
