The thing that drives me nuts about lolbertarians is that despite claiming to be against globalism, they treat tariffs as if they are a tax, that you can't possibly choose not to buy foreign products, that you must buy chinesium toilet paper or else.
Tariffs, unlike taxes, are voluntary, at least in the sense that you aren't forced to purchase the goods they are attached to. They are merely a fee for transferring money out of your economy and into another country's economy. Taxes are forced upon you at gunpoint and remove any possibility of choice because they are applied everywhere.
Tariffs are literally better than taxes in basically every way, and yet lolbertarians can't stop being autistic spergs for the 5 minutes it would take to understand this.
