In my first blog post for @AmerCompass, I argue that Josh Hawley illustrates the need for a moderate multilateralism—and for an American integralism.

I also question the Senator's commitment to ending slave labor.https://t.co/ZfKMM5mcKV
American Compass
The result would be higher prices for us, fewer investments in poor countries, and, because of that loss of capital, a net increase in exploitative labor practices worldwide. Profiting off slavery is bad; preventing those profits, but in a way that actually adds to slavery, is clearly worse.
My obligation to those of other political units is not equal to my obligation to my people. And I am not responsible for the evil actions of others if I am not coercing them to do them. This seems to go beyond liberalism. What sort of moral agency are people learning? A sort of integrity that requires that I have to factor other people's decision-making into a utilitarian calculus?
