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.
