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 didn’t know redbull was European and I didn’t know servus tv belonged to redbull
Without reading the actual post, and my sole reaction to the thread title is: you can purchase Reddit mods?
idk about r/buyFromEU but r/europe on reddit is pretty right-wing
It always had some shifty people but it got so much worse after they shut down the sub and later re-opened
10 to 15 years back when I still watched tv, I loved Servus TV: news, lots of documentaries, reports and some panel shows. Like, TV before enshittification. Absolutely nothing even remotely close to what this post is suggesting. Has it gone down since then, or is this post misinformation? Can anybody who's still watching TV confirm this?
Damn, red bull is my energy drink of choice. Anyone got a good alternative that doesn't use alternative sweetener? So many of them use them and I can't stand the flavor they have.
Any off-brand energy is fine. Aldi has a pretty good one though it does use artificial sweeteners instead of, or in combination with, sugar.
Alternatively, give mate a try. Mio Mio has lots of flavours to choose from. The classic Club Mate is also always a gold choice. Pomegranate and peach iced tea are my favourites :)
I usually buy my energy drinks from gas stations, so I guess I'll have to see what off brands they have. I am interested in mate, I'll have to see what's available near me. Thank you.
Club Mate is my energy drink of choice. Made in Germany.
I drink coffee and Decathlon isotonic drink, one after the other, and it makes me great.
Wait really? I live in the US granted but I don't want to support any company that does heinous shit like this.
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
In the UK, not a fan of tea or coffee. I rarely use caffeine at all, but there are some days where I'm falling asleep at my desk and I need something.
Any recommendations?
Cocaine
Haha, nah, really not my jam
Bullshit they actively promoting anti corona, pro Putin and far right wing plebs for the last 10 years now! I live in Austria and it's ridiculous you try defend them. Yes they were an awesome tv station back then )until 2017. But nowadays it's just a hate tv!
on the bright side, red bull tastes like shit
