All you've done was preface your replies with "your argument is bad" and then arguing around the main point. You either live in this delusion that you can do no wrong or you just really want to prove your point and so you ignore my attempts at correcting you and then claim that the only thing I've done is attack you. You're wrong because the decision to pay exorbitant amounts for shoes falls on you the consumer. Not the reseller or the manufacturer.
Cherry picking definitions of capitalism in an attempt to dismiss my argument. Which wasn't about capitalism in the first place. It was a figure of speech to illustrate that no one is taking advantage of you because everyone is being sold something for profit, which you equate to as being taken advantage.
Every pair he takes off the market at retail to sell at resell price is another disappointed Jordan brand consumer. The people he screws are regular joes, and his profit is at our expense.
Resellers profiting off you at inflated prices is at your expense. Nike profiting off you at retail prices is at your expense. The supermarket selling bread to you for a profit is at your expense. You're not being tricked into buying shoes and you're not being forced to buy shoes. It is purely your desire to buy shoes that's motivating you. NOT MANUFACTURERS OR RESELLERS. I'll concede that the bread example is a bad one because you need food to survive which further illustrates my point because you don't need shoes to survive. There are no life altering consequences of not getting the next hyped shoe. It really is just your desire to acquire material goods that's forcing you to pay these amounts.
Since you bothered to look up multiple definitions of capitalism I'm sure you came across the term "supply-and-demand." Demand for a shoe determines the price of the shoe. If it weren't for you, the consumer, paying inflated prices for shoes there wouldn't be resellers trying to profit off of you.
Seriously, it's like I'm taking crazy pills because you keep going on and on about everything else except what I'm trying to tell you, which is that you have a choice between buying and not buying. Nobody is forcing you to do anything which is why nobody is taking advantage of you.
You argue for the sake of arguing and argue sideways about minor details to derail the topic until the other person gives up. You think that when you have the last word you're right. That's why you have no friends.
