All the Libertarians here do not have a credible response to this post.
I have provided 10000 sats boost to increase their opportunity to respond.
But they just huddle in silence incapable of responding to the inconvenient FACTS.
They claim nobody will debate with them but when I provide the opportunity they huddle in confused SILENCE.
Incapable of responding to the issues raised.
I'm not sure I understand. Tariffs and trade wars are the opposite of free trade and free markets.
If these are causing problems, wouldn't this mean that free markets are preferable to tariffs and trade wars?
"Libertarian nonsense that free markets always deliver better results than government involvement"
Wouldn't the tariffs and trade war be the 'government involvement' in this case?

The tariffs are in response to China having captured dominance in nearly all productive supply chains.
China has done this by strategically allocating capital toward development of a more competitive economy- for example developing electricity supply at half the price of other nations which means downstream manufacturers have a significant advantage to their over seas competitors.
The government led Chinese mercantile economy now beats western neoliberalised financialised economies in terms of competitiveness on nearly all markets.
Do you understand now?

I welcome reasoned debate and you asked a question which demonstrated a disingenuous approach toward the facts and issues raised - however I in good faith answer your strawman question and then you call me rude?
For what? Asking if you understand now?

I could interpret your response as highly offensive - Asking if you understand now is simply pointing out that your initial comment did not understand the content of what you were responding to.
I responded by explaining how you had misunderstood and whether your misunderstanding was conscious or unconscious I wanted confirmation that you now acknowledge the misunderstanding in your initial comment.
So far you have not given such a response but instead feign offense where none is justified.
Your initial comment misinterpreted/misrepresented/strawmanned what I had posted but you refuse to acknowledge that even when I have explained how and asked if you now understand how you were in error.
Trying to divert the reasoned debate via strawman arguments and personal attacks and baseless trumped up allegations of rudeness is only further indicative evidence that Libertarians cannot provide a credible reasoned response.
Provide a credible reasoned response and I will respond in kind I can guarantee that.
Respond with strawman bullshit and misrepresentation of what I have said and I will also respond in kind.
The entire content of this thread evidences my consistency in this.

You cannot respond with reason because your trolling delusional hypocrisy has been exposed.
Poor sensitive Libertarian.
Libertarians confronted with reality have nothing to say.
They are deluded misguided extremists who do not understand the real world.
