Meritokratie FAQ (DE)

Flag of Germany

Wird die Gesellschaft denn nicht bereits von verdienstvollen Persönlichkeiten geführt? Politiker haben keine Verdienste als Führungspersönlichkeiten, weil sie sich nicht für die Menschen interessieren und nicht in ihrem Interesse handeln. Selbst wenn Politiker die Welt verbessern wollten, keiner von ihnen wäre klug genug, es auch zu tun. Karrierepolitiker spezialisieren sich auf das Händeschütteln und Lächeln; […]

Меритократија FAQ (SR)

Flag of Serbia

Зар заслужни не воде већ друштво? Политичари немају заслуге као лидери јер не маре за вас и не раде у вашу корист. Чак и када би политичари жељели да унаприједе свијет нико од њих није довољно паметан да то и учини. Политичари каријеристи специјализирају смјешкање и руковање; дволични мешетари моћи који играју у колу са […]

What if the government just wastes all the revenue from inheritance tax on pointless wars?

Do you really think meritocrats would have started the Iraq War? Almost every single independent expert denounced the Iraq War before it started. There were only two educated groups who wanted it: war profiteers and the Israel lobby. Every other informed or educated group was against the war. This war could never happen in a […]
