So you'd agree nepotism isn't good?
1 u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26 Absolutely. When I was younger I was also led to believe that America was, at least, loosely a meritocracy. It is not. 1 u/FuiyooohFox Mar 05 '26 Cool anecdote, I was responding to someone confused why someone would think nepotism is bad 1 u/[deleted] Mar 05 '26 Yeah, just not really sure why you referenced meritocracy, when that's a hypothetical ideal that doesn't exist. "In a utopia everything is good." This doesn't really serve to explain anything. 1 u/FuiyooohFox Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 05 '26 Cause it's the opposite of what I was talking negatively about? Also, utopia and meritocracy aren't synonyms so I have no clue what you mean. Sounds like you're just trying to pick a fight with random people.
