That's like being a masochist and being skeptical of all those nasty welts that keep showing up on your backside.  Dumb dumb dumb.

Well, it was government policy that initiated the current epoch of globalization, which I consider to have entered full-force with the end of the Cold War and to have accelerated under Clinton. It was a concerted effort; legislation was passed and laws were signed to that end.

Precisely.  So become a socialist and oppose capitalism and trade.

I am a socialist. I oppose capitalism. I do not, however, oppose trade.

Ok, now ditch the 'libertarianism', and you'll be on the right track.
