Meritocracy is bleak.
Someday I will manage to explain to people that just because something is made for profit by private parties doesn't make it not propaganda.
The idea that propaganda has to mean state produced agitprop was the best lie capitalism ever sold (other than meritocracy)

Remember this next time one of these MFs is like "we need to judge people based on the character and not the colour of their skin". El Sayed is one of the most intelligent, eloquent, charming, compassionate politicians I have seen but he's Muslim so he bad.

That dude’s combination of arrogance and inability to read the political tea leaves is astounding… and evidence there is definitely no meritocracy in American journalism. I’m sure he’s Sulzberger’s fave.

Okay, enough doom and gloom. How tf do we prevent a "culture war" a second time? A true meritocracy. Because we didn't have one before. And we damn sure don't have one now! And competent white men in charge HAVE to stop telling their incompetent brethren that WE are why THEY weren't hired.

Elite media editors have been caught doing this far too often, especially with featured (and coddled) "undecided voters"
They keep doing it because not only are there no consequences, they're often failed upwards (by the same mediocre legacy old men who push their "meritocracy" narrative)

Each quoted post and each nested thread they're in have even more examples of "undecided voters" showing they're literal Republican operatives and consultants
According to their own LinkedIn and previous interviews where it was more useful they speak as Republican instead of as "undecided"

Black Americans are attacked as unqualified, while Indian and Asian Americans are attacked for being too successful. @janecoaston.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social expose the contradiction in the right's racial grievances:

My daughter assembled an excellent Halloween costume — Katniss from the Hunger Games — worked super hard and nailed it. But at school, she finished second in the “best costume” voting to a boy who had no costume at all. This kid decided he wanted to win ironically, with support from his boys.
