[AI REWRITE] Tariffs disrupt markets, leading to economic decline. Economic stagnation results in reductions in government services and social welfare programs. Governments may attempt to deflect dissatisfaction by scapegoating minorities and disadvantaged populations, who form the foundation of local micro-markets. Macro-markets suffer from protectionist tariffs and power politics, while micro-markets in suburban retail are damaged by scapegoating, division, spending cuts, and eugenics. The economy deteriorates from stagnation to implosion, prompting governments to rely on armament industries to support the weakening national economy. Authoritarian leaders may resort to acquiring international markets through force and wars of aggression, unwilling to reverse course on protectionist tariffs and scapegoating policies due to fear of appearing weak or admitting economic illiteracy. Wars of aggression disrupt international markets based on fair competition, leading to resistance through wars of liberation, potentially escalating into international world war.
