Are you sure that any of that stuff really matters? To be clear, I am
against tearing down some of those agreements. I do think that China
should be sanctioned for committing genocide, and I am skeptical of
things like TPP. I certainly don't desire the transatlantic version of
that, and in fact joined protests against it. Not because I dislike
you Americans, but because I think that such trade deals are used to
smuggle in stuff that goes against the interest of the common people
on both sides. For example, opening the possibility for corporations
to sue for loss of profits if a government adopts measures in the
public interest... on climate, but also protecting workers, food
quality and so on.

Yes, the TPP had some provisions protecting bad behavior and I opposed
those provisions; but on the whole I think trade barriers are negative
and opening up trade is good.
