That’s good, this sub needs more trust buster posts. More muckraker journalism posts and Remember the Maine posts too. We’re letting our WASP nostalgia take us way back past HW, we’re going all the way back to Big Teddy, the old Rough Rider himself. America’s been on a downhill trajectory ever since tbh.
Once we get past a point of no return and all you can hear is the gnashing of teeth, you'll knock on our bunker doors and we'll shoot you through a peephole.
Man found dead in bunker surrounded by anime themed body pillows and jars of his own urine. The man apparently attempted to shoot through his peephole at a black FedEx worker who was delivering a posable action figure of a animated 10 year old girl wearing an extremely short skirt. The bullet ricocheted off his steel door and into his left eye, killing him instantly. He is survived by his mother and several waifus, all declined to comment.
However, one of the lessons of the age of meritocracy is that building a more democratic and inclusive ruling class is harder than it looks, and even perhaps a contradiction in terms.
No one in the current administration is qualified to do anything and they have done nothing of value to obtain their positions. How does he consider this a meritocracy?
lol all of those people are either extremely successful business leaders, decorated Navy Officers, or brain surgeons. Come on man, you hate Trump, I got it. But dont act like each of those people dont have some serious accomplishments in their lives. Regardless, wasnt much different under Obama, bush or Clinton, really.
I don’t know why you guys even try to pull that card after electing someone who paid people to make all his business decisions his whole life off daddies money.
Couldn't they have appointed Carson to a position even tangentially relevant to his professional expertise? Min/max the idiot savant and fill in the empty spots with the regular idiots.
He sees one black guy on a board somewhere and thinks it's meritocracy. Barely anything has actually changed in the elites since the 1990s, he's just swallowing so much of his own bullshit that he's had an overdose
It's a shame that people feel like GHWB was the last legitimate President, because if Republicans could have gotten past their blind hate of Democrats at the time, they would have noticed that Bill Clinton was an old-school Republican.
George HW Bush was probably only usurped in qualifications for President by Thomas Jefferson, and he owned brown people twice as hard as Jefferson ever did
Soon, the only way to be fashionably contrarian will be to unironically endorse the supremacy of old, rich Christian white males and their fair but firm cultureless regimes.
Also in The Atlantic, Franklin Foer described “the subtext” of Bush nostalgia as a “fondness for a bygone institution known as the Establishment, hardened in the cold of New England boarding schools, acculturated by the late-night rituals of Skull and Bones, sent off to the world with a sense of noblesse oblige. For more than a century, this Establishment resided at the top of the American caste system. Now it is gone, and apparently people wish it weren’t.”
I think you can usefully combine these takes, and describe Bush nostalgia as a longing for something America used to have and doesn’t really any more — a ruling class that was widely (not universally, but more widely than today) deemed legitimate, and that inspired various kinds of trust (intergenerational, institutional) conspicuously absent in our society today.
US fellow Americans sure do miss the ruling class of the 90s with their secret societies and legitimately gathered wealth.
I only liked him when he had the balls to argue against Bill Maher on his own show. But I guess this is what happens when you're the youngest op-ed writer for NYT
They call Dramanauts, Autists. Autists... easily duped, will believe anything, and by the time the destruction is upon them, one or more of their family has been captured and turned against the team. "/r/Drama has served us well...," one captor gloated.

WASPs were meritocratic enough to willingly give up the reins of power, somehow I doubt that will be true of their 'diverse' successors.
