Meritocracy or Class Society?

[Caesercel]

My friend has a foid online friend who is very accomplished in her field of pediatrics/child psychology in her state. She did her medical degree and then got highly specialised degrees/diplomas in the field, both locally and from abroad. And she is genuinely passionate about treating children. Her pedigree allowed her to be recruited to top medical positions in the government and she runs a successful empire dealing with child autism with an army of psychologists/therapists working under her.

Sounds like a typical success story of merit right? Equality of opportunity at work.

To become a doctor in my country you'd have to graduate from a medical school and there are two ways to get in. Right after graduating high school you'd have to appear for insanely hard exam with a level of competition that'll drive anyone insane and score in the top 99 percentile. Or buy your way into a medical school with copius amounts of money. This woman grew up in a household with multiple servants, her dad owns a factory and they own a stallion which she rides occassionally. Not hard to guess how she got her foot in. (Rest in replies or your attention deficit brains wouldn't explode)

The only treatment for autism is death. She's just using her capital to put herself in the position to replace Autism Speaks as the number 1 euthanizer in the area. She can then bring up her children killing enterprise at the family BBQs to a much enthused neurotypical audience.

Sure you still have to pass the degree courses but that's the easy part. Getting the admission at all is much harder. And rest assured all the qualifications that followed were bought with money too.

Now let me contrast this with the average "therapist" that works for her. The psychology degree is far easier and far less costly to get. Most of them come from less fortunate backgrounds who likely couldn't afford to buy their way into a medical degree. They make something slightly larger than minimum wage working for her. My friend told me that of the revenue this operation makes 25% all goes towards wages and the rest is kept by the doctor and let me tell you it's HUGE even after cutting other expenses.

Now you can say that this operation wouldn't exist if not for her qualifications and good name and that is true. But those psychologists are the ones actually treating autistic children on the ground. If they had the money they probably would've chosen the medical degree instead of the cheaper pscyhe one with lesser financial prospects. And then they could've proceeded to get MDs in psychiatry like their boss.

So tell me, are we witnessing real meritocracy in our world or a perpetuation of the class society?

are we witnessing real meritocracy in our world

Merit is a moral problem so it's subjective.
Some would say we have meritocacry, most would not, but there is no objective answer.

Class society is the reality we live in, meritocracy would be some kind of utopia.

Someone who dies itself to work gets more paid than someone who just does its work regularly, every promotion is gained through merit only, and all the people at important positions are only there because of their actual competences. Looks, gender, autism, family wealth and connections being completely irrelevant.

Seems like a kinda fair world to live in.

But richfags and their living sperm remnants like to talk about the "meritocracy" argument completely out of context only to justify their ridiculous wealth and undeserved success in life, thus adding a negative connotation to the word and turning it into a joke.

No, John Richfagson IV, you're not CEO of your own startup company at 19 because of your competence, your big brainz, or "meritocracy".

No, Conchita Rosenbergstein, you're not a successful singer and actress because of your incredible skill, your polyvalence, or "meritocracy".

It's been said for the last 150 years: we live in a class society, the only way out of it is a global proletarian revolution, but the masses are too busy fighting each other for stupid shit, and left-wing politicians too busy whoring themselves for lmaoq+ lobbies.

Problem is

Do you want your kids to go through that effort

Or would you rather pass down wealth and privilege them. Also would you give jobs to some random, or mutually exchange job positions with your friends children. Nepotism is law tbh

Many poor people have the same "ah if i was rich i wouldn't like this to happen"
But you're not rich, why tf should you care?
Richfag fears should not concern us
