Is the "merit-based society" in the room with us now
The concept of a "merit-based society" is an interesting and complex one. While it is important to strive for a society that rewards individuals based on their abilities and achievements, it is also crucial
“Merit” is subjective. What may have use to one person could be useless to another. Basing our entire society off of whose life has “merit” and whose doesn’t is one of the problems. Who gets to decide who does and doesn’t have “merit”? What gives them the right?
It might be if it just worked harder to get there
Well it did serve 8 years in office while beating its daddy's term in the process before retiring to its TX oilfield.
Meritocracy is just another excuse to justify a system where a lot of people are made to suffer
the way to unlock this is to remember that these people believe it is axiomatically true that a black person in a position of authority or prestige did not get there through merit
