They are everywhere but with a proliferation of names (e.g. BuyfromEU, BuyEuropean), websites, logos and instances on social (X, Bluesky, Reddit, Lemmy, digg).

It's not a brand.

I mean as identity of course. Which of all these instances is brandfromEU (covered also in the media) and which is not?

None of them and all of them. It's simply an idea in people's heads. Many call the idea "buy from EU" but some people choose a different name for that idea in their head. There's no "organization behind everything". The answer you're looking for simply doesn't exist.

As for every idea, there'll likely be people trying to use its power for personal gain. Don't buy into any specific brand or some shit, just look at the products you buy and see if they're European, that's it.

Fun related fact: "Antifa" is also like that.
It's not an organisation. If you're against fascism, you're part of Antifa.
That's why declaring "Antifa" a terrorist organisation is so dangerous.
The only thing that makes you a "member" is your thoughts.
