Why Elites Whip Themselves – The Daily Sceptic
American educated elites have turned against meritocracy in their claims of 'systemic racism'. But, ironically, in doing so they 'justify' their own privileges by signalling their moral superiority over the hoi polloi.
It’s exactly the same (almost word for word, although “meritocracy” was never so espoused here) in Australia and New Zealand, too…
This isn’t an American phenom. It might arguably be an Anglosphere phenomenon, but it’s not just America, I assure you…
Basically: yes.
It's only within the Liberal Anglosphere.
Honestly, it might even be emergent entirely from The New Model Army.
