Now with this post you went and totally supported what I said. I don't even know what we are arguing about anymore. The least you can do is quote my post and highlight the bits you disagree with, so I have a better understanding of what you are talking about.
Another point I wanted to make is that (at least in America) the middle class forever chasing bargains and the capitalist class forever chasing profits was a perfect storm for killing off the garment industry (among others) and shipping the very blue collar jobs that American politicians now posturing about overseas. So, cry me a fucking river. If people would be willing to pay fair prices maybe those jobs would return. And that's a very big and unlikely maybe, as we have already lost those skills and you'd need to educate an entire generation all over again. Now, go buy your H&M if you want, since you have only 1500 euros a month to live on - but stop talking about my privilege. I grew up poor - I have a feeling I know much more about it than you do.

P.S. Christopher Hitchens taught me not to write "I think" because it's pretty damn obvious that it's me doing the thinking when I write.
