The recent rise in mercantilism / trade wars / tariffs / America (or insert country) First / China one child policies / China and Soviet state official atheism / Russia and China banning gays

Ok, points taken, except with 'China and Soviet state official atheism'. I don't see the relevance to either trade or sex.

I see it as a restriction on an innate desire of humanity which is therefore impossible to constrain or stop, merely drive it underground.

It is questionable if it's universally innate, there being many atheists, but now you've explained it I can see your point.

Have to say you used some ill-focussed or ill-expressed arguments which is why I have been repeatedly chasing you for an explanation. Take that as you will. But thanks for clarifying.
