Replace if you need to, and when replacing: replace it with european-made goods

This right here. For example I'm rolling my eyes at people replacing their Kindles posthaste now. If it still works, it's a great piece of hardware and replacing it now for the sake of changing the brand only creates more waste. A Kindle one already owns is more green and anti-capitalistic than whatever replacement one might get. It's borderline virtue signalling.

I think their heart is in the right place but they didn't think it through. The way I understand virtue signalling, it needs to include intentional deception.
