As a response to several people stating that free trade is better for everyone.
I've taken economics courses, I understand how free trade is better overall. However, those calculations only work when both sides follow the same rules. Once you have different groups of people with different values, whether it's the EU valuing privacy, China valuing domestic production, or the US valuing intellectual property, absloute free trade seems to break down.
You can't freely trade if you're using different units
