Why do protectionists hate poor people so much?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Obviously the "free trade" agreements we have now are shoddy as hell, but left wing nationalism is an absurdity. "Ah it's terrible if Foreign elites are pissing on my head! I want an elite who speaks my own language to piss on my head! He'd do it way more effectively!!!"

Just because somebody has the same skin colour or "cultural upbringing" or religion or language or ethnicity as you doesn't mean they're your friend, and they will exploit the ordinary people just as hard as anybody else.
