Meritocracy is a bullshit myth if people only judge you by your appearance

[disillusioned]

How the fuck can anybody cope with this bullshit notion that the world rewards hard work/merit if normies ignore you by default for looking a certain way?

"Muh hard work muh meritocracy muh talent... "

I know this is old but it's still such a perfect example:



Jfl this is how the world treats talented people that don't check the boxes. Absolute bullshit.

many normies are ugly so this is bullshit. normies dont give a fuck how you look if you are an NT sheep like one of them, they hate you for not fitting in

Anyone advocating for meritocracy accounts for this with things like standardized testing

Not true. Normies will generally ignore people that don't meet a certain looks threshold, especially during childhood and teenage years.

Someone with a brain finaly. Soyboy: “Capitalism is all about hard work and merit.”

Meanwhile capitalism is about connections and being judged positively on how you look

More about smv than about IQ or merit. I’m tired of these cope, “all beautiful people are high IQ geniuses they just don’t try”

Yeah sure

Tbh IQ still matters, it just doesn't mean anywhere near as much if you don't also have the looks and connections. So-called 'gifted people' are in fact still smarter than average, just not as much as they're hyped out to be.

meritocracy is just a model, it's not something that's perfectly achievable. there's always trade offs to everything. there is no solution to inequality.

That is public appearance job so ofc looks matter lot more than "meritocracy". It still is meritocracy, if the good looks are used to pull more crowd. while singing retain crowd. Aka both are bringing in and retaining people, just with different tools

And nobody wants to admit their inherited privileges, so it's common for these privileged people to create a fictional history of suffering and self made sucess, it goes like this:
"I'm rich now, but it wasn't hard for to me to be where I'am now, I didn't have a penny in my pockets back then, and now I'm the CEO of a huge multinational, anyone can archieve whatever they want, it's just a question of hard work."

The "masses" love these pseudo inspirational stories, so they buy it, when most rich people already had rich family members, contacts, very few people come from the bottom and reach the top.

very few people come from the bottom and reach the top.

It's also worth noting that in the few instances in which some random nobody does become massively successful, it's usually the result of ridiculously specific sets of circumstances where all the variables neatly fit into place meaning the normal rules basically just don't apply at that time. The ultimate examples of the 'right place right time' trope.
