The whole everyone is racist but we can’t be! Meritocracy! Is not only self defeating, it’s a lie about the concept of meritocracy itself. If the majority of every minority hates the concept of meritocracy then it will never exist when they are the majority. Conservative pundits are so tone deaf that they just spout Reaganisms which have failed massively which is why we’re here now. Meritocracy can only exist if the overwhelming majority of the population believes it, that’s not the case. Even crowder is using the “I’m not worried about being a minority if they don’t abuse me!” Schtick today. We are watching the death of American culture happening right before us and conservatives are saying “well at least I’m not racist!”
Tower of Babel remains undefeated and supposed Christians are racing towards it gleefully because they think compassion is the same as suicide.
I don't think they ever did understand this. This is the line the top 50% throw to the bottom 50%. The only reason things used to work is the bottom 50% never had enough power for it to matter. Then, in the last 300 years, the power switched such that "socialism" and its derivatives became prevalent so the bottom 50% started to take from the top 50%, ending meritocracy.
You'll dealing with a team full of the top 0.00001% of players in the world. I think these guys understand meritocracy. I guarantee there's plenty of people in the world who think that if they were raised differently that they too could be an elite pitcher and that the only reason they aren't an elite pitcher is because the elite pitcher had better opportunities than him growing up.
This is human nature. No one will abandon this. People must be forced into a meritocracy.
