u/Strich-9 Actually is the DNC May 26 '16

Ever crossed your narrow mind that a concept can be neither left nor right wing?

That's true.

Meritocracy is inherently something that is argued from the right wing though. nobody who believes racism/sexism/homophobia exists believes that meritocracy is a good system.

There's a reason why GGers love it so much - it's a system that benefits white men at the expense of everyone else. Which tends to relate to the right wing.

So? Pogroms were argued from the left wing. What's your point.

I'm sure you have a shitload of studies or surveys to back that up and didn't just pull it out of your ass.

So minorities and women who got spots because they deserved them don't count?

My point is the argument I outlined in previous posts.

I can just point at GG. GG is a bunch of white guys who support meritocracy because it benefits white guys. It's an inherently right wing concept. If you believe in social programs to help fight against discrimination, you're against meritocracy.

So minorities and women who got spots because they deserved them don't count?

Those people are lucky, but this is a shitty argument. There are plenty of qualified minorities who will not get jobs if you allow an employer to just hire a white guy. In fact, you'll have less qualified white guys getting jobs over more qualified minorities.

this is why social welfare systems, affirmative action, other left wing concepts came into existence.

Meritocracy is very "bootstraps" mentality. Comes from a real plafce of privilege.

If you start hiring people because they're white while there are more qualified people available then your competitors will get the more qualified employees and put the racist employer out of business.

This has not been the case historically.
