Food drink and clothing I was never buying either side anyway.
Recently got some new plain cotton t-shirts though. ยฃ2.50 each at Tesco so I got 8. Should just about last me to 2030.
DON'T SPREAD STUPID SH*** LIKE THAT.
What a BS honestly, I am fully anti Trump but this does not help at all. Why? Some examples:
- 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.
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.

This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.

This works a bit for Canada too.
I live in the USA and I will buy foreign as much as possible. Until we make it illegal most likely
Omg, I'm boycotting USA ... since like forever, I'm so sorry, it was totally by accident, thots and players, I hope everyone recovers financially.
Tho the steaming one I do a bit ... differently.
(Also just boycott big corpos as much as possible, no matter the region!!)
+1 for MUBI , it is a streaming service with curated high quality cinema. And they have a very accesible plan . They have a notebook or magazine they deliver every few months that is priceless. I have some volumes. For Cinema lovers obviously .
I wanted to subscribe, I think they had a promotion for 1$ for a few months. I looked into their privacy policy and I was not really happy, data collected for personalized advertising etc.
It was unfortunate, but I would like something to see more niche movies.

love to see bespoke weathered text instead of a font
It's a shame it needed someone like Trump to actually get European alternatives more attention. They needed attention way before Trump.
Also the food and drinks alternatives are a bit odd. Many brands on the European side I don't recognize, probably because they're pretty local to whoever made this list.
Yep, several Nordic food, drink and snacks brands there. The burgers at Max are good but I doubt they'll deliver from Malmรถ Sweden to Portugal.
The list has it's shortcomings but it's a good start.
There are so many issues with this, lots of wrong information, recommendations of stuff that's bad and really shouldn't be recommended and stuff that really should be there isn't. Please don't share it this further, it's absolutely shit.
"Oh no this is wrong"... proceeds to shit on it, not provide a single example or correction
