Once again Strawman proves his captivation by US propaganda. One consistent bullshit that Strawman mindlessly repeats - North Korea is a blackmailer and a cheat (the implication being that the West is not). But the standards that have to be held to to conclude that North Korea does blackmail and cheat, also indicate that the US does so equally.

It seems Strawman is opposed to collective power - as long as it isn't the US exercising that power. Or as long as the government is keeping immigrants from crashing at his pad (see Strawman's previous posts on immigration).

It reminds me of how libertarians in general (though Strawman obviously does not belong in that category) find individual welfare so much more disgusting than corporate welfare. Or at least it seems they reserve most of their energy and arguments for combating individual welfare like the dole, rather than tariffs.

Let me amend that. Most contributors here at libertarian.org.au concentrate on the big picture, and speak out against tariffs a lot. My apologies for any offence caused. Except to Strawman ;-)
