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 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.

      we shouldn’t dismiss the movement as a whole just because some rightwingers are a part of it, but our choices with regard to consumption should be more nuanced than America bad, Europe good.

        The idea of buying something only because it’s made in a certain country is nationalistic on its own

        True. If the movement was called boycott facists, or even buy local I don’t think there would be the same problem.

      I thought BuyFromEU was more about avoid US products… You know, because the Trump antiques and the corporatism there
