Farming protectionism is different from other protectionism, because self-sufficient farming is a national military security goal. If a nation gets into a huge war, then you want to still be able to feed the people.

In general any nation would want to be self-sufficient in all basic necessities, that would come under threat in war time.

Well, that's exactly my point and that's exactly what hypocrisy looks like.

Every protectionism is different because ... reasons. There will always be an "what if..." to justify everything.
