Talking fair advantage

There can be a HUGE problem with arbitrary lines in a society, where I like to define things.

And will admit have many times noticed situations where are competitive, when some person, usually a guy will SUDDENLY talk race, as is clear he has no advantage.

Which is one thing, but if you have been taught that you have race as a fair advantage, and are losing otherwise so think you can psych out another person by bringing it up? Then can be something where you may feel comfortable.

Where I would look at such a person, at times, suddenly smug. He thinks he has won something, and is sad, as is without merit.

Would find myself mentally shaking my head, thinking to myself, yet another one.

Life lessons for such people can be harsh. Where with me, of course remain polite, but no, not useful as a psych-out. But it does help for me that I have encountered it routinely enough, am not surprised by it. Just disappointed.

And is actually pseudo-class as if say, are in the United Kingdom, and someone notes he is a member of the English nobility, guess what? Is a legitimate class position recognized by society.

But here in the US, there is no such class system at all, not even in decline as is there. So that person? Who thinks he can rely on race to overcome his shortcomings? His belief in fair advantage was probably taught to him, by his parents or community, in a nation that does NOT recognize it.

Which yeah can lead to violence.

Few people realize that actual class does involve violence, as failure to acknowledge social rules is not exactly a good way to get ahead in society. And like to bring up the United Kingdom as one of the most famous where no, am confident class is NO LONGER violently enforced, but it was, in the past.

In Old England--insult the king, could lose your head.

Here in the US, you have people with that attitude and they can go on killing sprees. Which has been big in the news last few years. Where it does help to recognize the problem of pseudo-class and pseudo-nobility who can run rampant in a society when not checked.

Merit rules are just better.

So how did the US get this problem? Well that story have talked much! Where honesty is best. Besides it is an interesting story. People who somehow get taught they are innately superior who just go down in flames when forced to actually compete on merit.

Yet there are others who support them, and believe in things that are not true. And to them? Race is fair advantage.

Web disrupts in a very basic way: facts tell.

Is MUCH harder to simply lie about success in our times. Like in the past not only were arbitrary race rules used for some to steal the accomplishments of others, but also they were as has also been more publicly clear, often brutal to women. So yeah, you'd have guys quite comfortable with lack of ability who would claim credit and rewards of success, for things actually done by others.

The web makes that harder to do.

Web enables merit rules with facts shared. Which is a great thing actually.
