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,....)

DON'T. LET. PERFECT. BE. THE. ENEMY. OF. GOOD

It's still European, even though not ideal. What's worse, to fund right-wing nuts (here or elsewhere), or to fund a (probably in the making) fascist state?

Agreed, I don't like the mods of that sub.

But if they Want to keep the movement simply "Buy European" without bringing other politics and ethics into the mix. I don't have a problem with that.

A "Don't buy Red Bull" post seems off topic for me on a "Buy European" sub

I think you might want to make an exception for far-right loonies, as a far-right loony getting into power is what started this whole shitstorm.
