I dunno. I see 'Made in Europe' becoming more prevalent in products mfgd in Europe. I don't feel off-put by that. So, I think it's more your personal reaction.
Mfgs mfg where they do because it's advantageous, one way or another. They very rarely do it for political reasons; overwhelmingly it's due to economic/strategic reasons, AFAIK.
W/re Kickstarter, I wonder if there's any bleeding effect from the 'consume local' food movement to the durable goods sphere. Maybe it's just coincidence, altho there seem be some parallels.
