Because you hear terms like "The black community" all the time.
Because unfairly advantaging any community will destroy merit, and you WANT merit if you want the next iPhone, the next Windows, or even the next Linux.
SKIN COLOR IS NOT COMMUNITY.
SKIN COLOR IS NOT CULTURE.
Now, are we talking about that?
what a cop out
No I don't think there's a racial/ethnic exception
--Oh. We are talking about that
It is in YOUR interest to preserve meritocracy, even if it means that you might not be shoved into a position you are unqualified for.
Nihilism is hitting us hard
I was right on the money. How depressing.
Fuck sake.
I'm tired of race pimps. So damn tired.
I am rather an idiot among Einsteins than Einstein among idiots.
sorry scribble, you cant have been right
you have yet to agree with me
It's actually not though, @Undead Mockingbird
(still looking btw)
It's not in your best interest to refuse to take advantage of the system
And milk it for all you can
I can't believe we've survived to see an era where people are comfortable saying "No! I don't want meritocracy"
If you were the only one doing so, you might get away with it. But you are not, if the programs are systemic.
And yet here we are
@Undead Mockingbird Any system that holds my community and hence me back, is not a fair system. Meritocracy in a Multi Racial Society would create an Asian/White Elite, Affirmative Action gives someone who's black a statistical advantage, why would they oppose their own interest?
Wtf yes you do. Even if you were a weasel you'd say "I want meritocracy" with the intention to CHEAT at the meritocracy.
So, I rather give up some unfair perks to live in a fair society than vice versa.
In a society where plenty of people haven't earned shit
You are, convince others to join you. How do you do it?
That is precisely the clash between conservatism nowadays and liberalism.
This is like the bad guy saying "I want to tie that woman to the train tracks to see her head come off and red stuff shoot out."
It's just too on the nose. "I don't want meritocracy" What the FUCK IS HAPPENING
There isn't actually much of a clash between conservatism and liberalism right now
It's between socialism/Marxism and conservatism+liberalism
If you take your rightful place in your team, then your team has a better chance of winning, even if you have to give up being the captain of your team.
just type Toxic Meritocracy on Google
I'd really rather do no such thing.
I feel like you don't really understand your opposition
Yes, that was the logical next step in this progression, to attack meritocracy.
Just like I don't wanna watch Maury.
And so are attempting to attack them from your axioms
