"The meritocracy has become amoral."
Not only that, the meritocracy is escapist, an ideology operationalized to deny and deflect the prior advantages that those who purportedly climb the ladder of meritorious success often enjoy and leverage to get to their achievement. Here I speak self-consciously as a self-selected immigrant who realizes that the disadvantages we self-selected immigrants endure or overcome are partially mitigated by the advantages of self-selection.
