I just see a status quo where Trump would openly abandon HK in a heartbeat for a good trade deal. Whereas the left can stomach talking about boycotting a company like Blizzard but they're violently opposed to action with any teeth because that action will likely have more real negative consequences for theirselves than not being able to play SOME video games. I'm not saying it's hypocritical but is sure as shit is weak.
In the end trade is valued higher than democracy by both Trump and his detractors. It just makes me sad and cynical. I wonder if we will ever have a "Nixon goes to China" moment in reverse?
P.S. Don't know what you're on about saying how my position is only true if trade has no or infinite value. My position would be utterly incoherent if I thought it had infinite value. My position would be coherent if I believed Trade had no value but it's also coherent if I believe it's overvalued.
