You think supporting European faschist enablers (e.g. Red Bull) is better than [insert random US company here] is just silly.
Do your homework: Capri Sun is German, not American, gosh.
Blueeky is NOT non-profit, stop spreading misinfirmation

It still helps because you are buying european which is better for europe also you called every single company in the list fascist with this logic, a lot of them arent, idk what redbull did tho.
It is german but pretty sure its sold by coca cola.

It doesn't help because most of those "euro" options are publicly traded on American stock markets where the fascists make their money lol. You booked on trivago instead of some other place great now that stock went up and the well invested musks of the world just made some money anyway. Money they will use to influence elections all over the world.

My response to you and the OP is simple: you don't counter faschist stupidity with stupidity, but with nuance. That's the difference between them and us, not where you produce or buy.

But its not just about fascism. If you actually want to counter fascism you dont just go "im not gonna buy this product", you actually have to take action. Anyone thinking a few people not buying a product will change the situation is a bit too optimistic. Even if you stop one of em another one pops up. You have to take action to change the system. But circling back yo buying european its still a pretty good thing overall so that europe can have a stronger economy. Anyone opposing this is like the people who voted for trump becsuse kamala wasnt any better. She was better and she couldve been even better if you voted for her and then protested to make her do what you want.

A large social movement to reduce imports from a given country and support local manufacturing can indeed still be of great benefit and can materially hinder the success of fascism though.
